The initial end credits appear over a background animation of characters and scenes from the film, as well as scenes from Japanese culture. After this, there is a time-lapse sequence that depicts the assembly of the giant skeleton demon. The credits then continue with images and short animations of elements of the film (characters, backgrounds, etc.) appearing beside the credits.
At the end of the closing credits, the Laika production logo displays tributes to its previous films:
- a cat runs through a door (from Coraline (2009))
- a zombie's hand and Norman's head (from ParaNorman (2012))
- some Boxtrolls (from The Boxtrolls (2014))
- and finally, Kubo himself appears.
The Focus Features and Laika logos in the beginning are formed by folding/unfolding sheets of paper, representing Kubo's origami figures.
