Upacara Pembukaan dan Penutupan diproduseri oleh Takayuki Hioki, atas saran dari Marco Balich, yang secara khusus menciptakan pembukaan [[Olimpiade Musim Dingin 2006|Olimpiade Musim Dingin Turin]] pada tahun 2006. "Dalam Upacara Pembukaan, kami akan bercita-cita untuk menegaskan kembali peran olahraga dan nilai Olimpiade, untuk mengungkapkan rasa terima kasih dan kekaguman kami atas upaya yang kita semua lakukan bersama selama setahun terakhir, dan juga untuk membawa rasa harapan untuk masa depan", kata Tokyo 2020. "Kami berharap itu akan menjadi pengalaman yang menyampaikan bagaimana kita semua memiliki kemampuan untuk merayakan perbedaan, berempati, dan hidup berdampingan dengan kasih sayang satu sama lain."
