The film features mild, comedic suggestive content related to the body-swapping premise. A teenage boy in a girl's body frequently gropes his chest, and there are brief, non-explicit shots of characters looking at themselves in underwear. These moments are played for laughs and avoid graphic detail.

Violence and gore in Your Name.

Violence is absent beyond a few moments of non-graphic, consequential action. Characters sabotage electrical infrastructure to facilitate an emergency, and an umbilical cord is shown being cut in a medical, non-violent context.

Substance use is light. Adult characters are seen consuming alcohol in social settings, and there is one brief, passing shot of a woman smoking a cigarette.
