Yamada Kouichi as Yamagami Tokuichi
The original work was written by Fujisawa Bunou, a friend of mine whom I worked with on various musical recitations.
Moreover, the music is composed by Muranaka Toshiyuki who composed music for those stages. I’m filled with both personal feelings and enthusiasm!
This is my first time playing Yamagami, but I will do my best to deliver his charm to those who watch the show!

Sawashiro Miyuki as Defrott
There have been anime turned into musical recitations, but the reverse is quite rare. I’m thankful to be part of it. I’m looking forward to creating a character and world together with so many people.
