L'Equation préférée du Professeur est d'abord un roman de Yoko Ogawa, publié en 2003 et adapté en 2006 au cinéma par Takashi Koizumi. L'histoire est centrée autours d'un mathématicien, le Professeur, dont le cerveau a été endommagé suite à un accident de voiture en 1975. Depuis lors, sa mémoire se réduit aux 80 minutes qui viennent de passer, sans qu'il puisse donc se remémorer quoi que ce soit avant l'accident qui l'a laissé invalide...sans pour autant que ses facultés de mathématicien s'en trouvent détériorées. Le film conte l'histoire du Professeur dans ses relations, parfois difficiles, avec sa nouvelle femme de ménage, Kyoko, et le fils de cette dernière bientôt surnommé Racine. Peu à peu, entre les 3, se tissent des liens, essentiellement basés sur les mathématiques, qui constituent la seule raison d'exister du Professeur.

The story of the Forty-seven Ronin has been depicted in many ways, with each version focusing the emphasis on different parts of the story—the rivalry of Lords Asano and Kira, Asano's assault on Kira, Asano's sentence of seppuku immediately afterward, and the revenge attack 21 months later against Kira by the Forty-seven Loyal Retainers. Oishi Kuranosuke, Asano's chamberlain and the head of the 47 samurai, is often the primary character, and his actions are often held up as the epitome of bushido, the honor code of the samurai.
