Production

Yuki's Sun was based on the 1963 shōjo manga of the same name by Tetsuya Chiba. Tokyo Movie asked Miyazaki to direct what was envisioned to be the pilot episode of a television series; however, the project was shelved after it failed to impress television producers.

Yuki's Sun was Miyazaki's solo directorial debut; he had previously co-directed episodes of Lupin the 3rd Part I alongside Isao Takahata.
