An interview with Kunichi Nomura, the voice of Kobayashi but also consulted on the look, script, and directed the Japanese voice cast. He wanted to channel Toshiro Mifune in his performance and hopes younger Japanese viewers will discover Kurosawa's work. I don't buy the argument that the film is dehumanizing or racist. It makes no moral judgments against the humans who aren't villains, the various human characters receive as much screen time as the dogs themselves, and there are multiple vignettes showing their history or culture in explicit detail. Aside from Tracy there are no foreign elements and her role isn't as a savior but an outsider whose only risk of breaking the law is deportation as opposed to imprisonment or death. And even then the day is literally saved by Atari's compassion, the hacker, and the murdered doctor.
