Police say many of the victims in Thursday's arson attack in Kyoto died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Police and fire fighters are jointly investigating the three-story building on Friday.
Police say 74 people were in the Kyoto Animation studio when a 41-year-old man came in through the first-floor entrance around 10:30 a.m., poured what appeared to be gasoline and set it ablaze.
The explosive fire killed 33 people and injured 35 others. Investigators say 31 bodies were found above the second floor. Many were lying on top of each other in the stairs leading to the rooftop from the third floor.
Police say the suspected arsonist is receiving hospital treatment for serious burns. They plan to question him when he recovers.

Police say the man suspected of causing the fatal fire at an animation studio in Kyoto is Shinji Aoba, a 41-year-old resident of Saitama City, near Tokyo.
Investigative sources say the man used to live in Ibaraki Prefecture. He was indicted in 2012 for a convenience store robbery and sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison.
After he served his sentence, the man briefly lived in a shelter for former convicts before moving to an apartment building that is registered as his current address.
Sources also say the suspected arsonist lives on welfare and was treated for mental health issues.
Police were called last year and this year after he caused trouble with his neighbors over noise.
The man is being treated for severe burns. Investigators plan to question him when his condition improves.

The man who allegedly started the deadly fire at an animation studio in Kyoto may have been spotted in the neighborhood the day before the attack.
The explosive fire on Thursday morning left 33 people dead and 35 injured at the Kyoto Animation studio.
A 41-year-old man from Saitama, near Tokyo, is suspected of carrying out the arson attack. He was wearing a red shirt when he was apprehended on a nearby street.
A junior high school girl who lives in the neighborhood says she saw a man in a red shirt lying on a bench in a park about 500 meters from the studio, at around 1 p.m. on Wednesday and around 8 a.m. on Thursday.
A woman who lives near the park says she saw a man lying on a bench at around 6:30 a.m. on Thursday.
A worker at a gas station about 100 meters from the park says a man wearing a red T-shirt bought 40 liters of gasoline at around 10 a.m. on Thursday, about half an hour before the studio was set ablaze.
The man told the worker that the fuel was for a power generator. He put the gasoline in two cans and took them away on a pushcart.
Police say jerry cans, a pushcart, knives and a hammer were found on a street near the animation studio after the attack.
On Friday morning, two cardboard boxes thought to have contained the cans were found in the park, along with packaging for an ignition agent and a multiple-purpose lighter. Police are examining the items.

The Japanese foreign minister has summoned South Korea's ambassador in Tokyo. He expressed deep regret over Seoul's failure to respond to Tokyo's request to start a third-party arbitration process for a wartime labor dispute.
Foreign Minister Taro Kono met with South Korean Ambassador Nam Gwan-pyo on Friday.
Kono said, "We really regret that we couldn't start arbitration based on the bilateral agreement between the two countries. We'd like to urge the South Korean government to take measures as soon as possible to correct the current situation, which is a violation of international law."
Meanwhile, Nam criticized Japan's stricter controls on exports of high-tech materials bound for his country. "Citizens and firms in our country have been facing a difficult situation and are affected by Japan's unilateral measures. We think the situation that damages the fundamentals of the relationship between both our countries needs to be resolved immediately," Nam said.
But Kono asked the South Korean side not to link the export curbs with the wartime labor issue.
Last year, South Korea's Supreme Court ordered Japanese companies to compensate plaintiffs who say they were forced to work for the firms during World War Two.
The Japanese government says the right to claim compensation was settled completely and finally when the two nations signed a pact in 1965.
As for Japan's export curbs, Seoul has been asked for bureau-chief level talks, a call Tokyo has declined. It says the restrictions are a precautionary measure necessitated by Seoul's lax trade controls.
South Korean trade ministry official Lee Ho-hyun told a news conference that Seoul has sent an email explaining there is no problem with the country's trade management.

Japan's Foreign Minister Taro Kono has expressed deep regret over South Korea's failure to take steps toward launching an arbitration board to address a wartime labor dispute.
Kono issued a statement on Friday, one day after South Korea missed a deadline for responding to Japan's request to choose a third country for such a board.
The statement says South Korea's inaction constitutes further breaches of an agreement the two countries reached in 1965 when they normalized relations.
The statement also says the breaches follow those already caused by a series of decisions by South Korea's Supreme Court, as well as related judgments and proceedings.
In rulings last year, the court ordered Japanese companies to pay damages to plaintiffs who say they were forced to work for the firms during World War Two.
Japan's government says the issue of the right to claim compensation was settled completely and finally by the 1965 agreement.
The pact spells out procedures for arbitration when disputes arise over its interpretation and implementation.
The statement warns that the government will take necessary measures against South Korea, citing the severe situation surrounding bilateral ties caused by the South Korean side.
South Korea's Foreign Ministry also issued a statement, reiterating that it cannot agree with Japan's unilateral and arbitrary claims, and that it finds no need to be bound by Japanese demands.
The statement says Japan should squarely face history and strive to heal the pain and wounds of wartime labor victims if it wants to truly settle the issue.
The ministry says the two countries can discuss practical ways to resolve the dispute.
It says it hopes Japan will return to diplomacy by ending its one-sided pressure tactics, such as recent retaliatory controls on exports of high-tech materials to South Korea.
Key words : United States imposed Iran
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190719_12/
The United States has imposed sanctions on an international network of seven entities and five individuals, accusing them of supporting Iran's uranium enrichment.
The Treasury Department said on Thursday that the entities are based in Iran, China and Belgium.
It said they acted as a procurement network for Iran's Centrifuge Technology Company, and helped it to purchase aluminum products and other sensitive materials used for enriching uranium.
The department said all their property in the United States must be blocked and they will be barred from dealings with US nationals.
These are the first sanctions taken by the US since Iran raised its uranium enrichment level above the limit set by the 2015 nuclear agreement. The US pulled out of the deal last year.
US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement that Washington is "deeply concerned by the Iranian regime's uranium enrichment and other provocative behaviors, and will continue to target all who provide support to Iran's nuclear program."
Washington is pressuring Tehran to begin negotiations on a new agreement to replace the 2015 deal. Iran is refusing to talk with the US.
Key words : Japan has called for
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190719_22/
Japan has called for countries to lift import restrictions on its food at a World Trade Organization meeting in Switzerland on Thursday.
The measures were put in place after the 2011 nuclear disaster. Japan made the appeal to the 164 countries and regions that were taking part. Twenty-two still maintain import curbs on Japanese food, including China and the US.
Tokyo had filed a complaint with the WTO against South Korea's ban on fisheries products from Fukushima and several other prefectures. But the claim was dismissed in April.
Japan says it ensures the safety of its agricultural and marine products through rigorous standards and testing.
Canada reportedly supports the early lifting of the bans, and is already importing Japanese food products at pre-disaster levels.
Key words : delegations from seven
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190719_05/
Delegations from seven countries and one territory have agreed to set a ceiling on Pacific saury catches. This is the first cap of its kind aimed at protecting the fish's dwindling population.
The agreement came at a three-day meeting of the North Pacific Fisheries Commission, which concluded in Tokyo on Thursday.
The gathering brought together delegates from all eight commission members -- Japan, China, Taiwan, South Korea, the United States, Canada, Russia, and Vanuatu.
They agreed to cap saury catches in the North Pacific next year at 556,250 tons for all the commission members combined.
The ceiling is above last year's total of 437,000 tons. This may have nudged the delegates to agree on the upper limit.
The delegates also placed a cap of 330,000 tons on high-seas catches. Ships from China and Taiwan are fishing in the waters.
Catch quotas for each commission member will be discussed at a meeting next year.
The stocks of North Pacific saury have shrunk to roughly one-third of those 20 years ago. The average population from 2016 to 2018 is estimated to be around 20 percent below the level considered sufficient to sustain the species.

Princess Mako has paid a visit to a Bolivian town settled by Japanese immigrants. She's in Bolivia to mark the 120th anniversary of Japanese immigration to the South American country.
The daughter of Crown Prince and Princess Akishino was in Colonia Japonesa San Juan on Thursday. The town is about 140 kilometers from the country's largest city, Santa Cruz.
Nearly 1,700 Japanese immigrants settled there between 1955 and 1992. In the early days, the settlers had to clear space in a primeval forest, and life there was hard.
Princess Mako offered flowers at a monument to the settlers who cultivated the land.
Bolivian and Japanese-Bolivian children welcomed her to a school in the settlement. They sang a Japanese song.
Later, Princess Mako mingled for about 90 minutes with a gathering of about 200 people, including immigrants and their descendants. She shook their hands and said she was very happy to be there.
Princess Mako's official trip to Peru and Bolivia will end on Friday. She will return to Japan on Monday.
