Welcome my friend!

Without question, he’s by my side. A destined pair.

Director Worry Kinoshita For Engeki Haikyuu, here’s yet another new challenge.   This will be the first Engeki Haikyuu without Karasuno, and the first featuring the tournament that takes place in Tokyo.  It feels like our theme for the next play will probably be completely different from the ones we’ve done up to this point.  If I think about it, we’ve always been challenging ourselves, so it’s nothing new.  So by that definition, nothing will really change at all.  Please continue to support our persistence and our drive.  And please look forward to it.  We’re still working on this production such that everyone will be able to say, “Engeki Haikyuu can do even that!” 

Nekoma High - Nagata Takato as Kozume Kenma Playing Kozume Kenma, I’m Nagata Takato.   First off, I want to say how happy I am that I can finally be placed on the main visual, because that’s always been my one wish.  There’s a lot of pressure in presenting the first Engeki Haikyuu following the Karasuno graduation.  But I’m going to make use of the four shows I’ve appeared in before and do my best.  Even though I say that, it’s hard for even me to imagine an Engeki Haikyuu without Karasuno.  Our strong point in Nekoma is our teamwork, and we’re going to demonstrate that plenty so that we can meet everyone’s expectations for this production.  A new Engeki Haikyuu is beginning.  

Nekoma High - Kondou Shouri as Kuroo Tetsurou Hello everyone!  I’m Kondou Shouri.  I’m really happy to be able to continue playing Kuroo Tetsurou.  I never even imagined that I’d get the chance to do the Tokyo matches. Those of us on Nekoma had talked about wanting to do the Tokyo matches even from back during “Karasuno, Revival!”  To think we’d be able to make that a reality.  It really is thanks to all of you that we’re able to gather together again like this!  Thank you so much!!   As part of the chorus, as a high school girl, and even as an elementary schooler, I’ve been able to experience Karasuno’s tournament matches from up close.  We’re going to deliver something that absolutely won’t lose to the level of passion that our friends gave!!   This production is something I’ve always wanted.  I will definitely return the debt I owe to everyone and to Engeki Haikyuu.  Please, come see the next overwhelming play with your own eyes!! 

Fukurodani Academy - Sakuraba Haruto as Bokuto Koutarou I have the privilege of playing Bokuto Koutarou, I’m Sakuraba Haruto!  I’ve been mesmerized by this production for a long time, and it’s a great honor for me to be able to make my acting debut playing Bokuto, a character I love.   Engeki is an important place that my senpai have built up, and as a fan and as an actor, I promise to make this production the best I can so as not to shame the name of Engeki Haikyuu!  The battlefield for “The Tokyo Battle,” which will be the 7th production in this series will at last be Tokyo!  The friends who have helped us to improve will now become our opponents as a position for the Spring High is put on the line, and a fiery battle will unfold!!  Please give us your support!

Fukurodani Academy - Takasaki Shungo as Akaashi Keiji I’m so happy to be able to stand on the stage as Akaashi Keiji once again.  The Karasuno members who have built up this Engeki Haikyuu production from the very first show have now graduated.  We have carefully taken up everything that they’ve connected to us, and we’re going to continue onward to yet another stage. For me personally, this will be my first time with everyone on Fukurodani Academy all gathered together, so I want us to do our best to become one as a team, and as a new Fukurodani Academy.  Engeki Haikyuu continues to evolve and grow, and we ask for your continuing support.  

Nohebi Academy - Fukuzawa Yuu as Daishou Suguru As the rehearsal days accumulate, what I would really like to do is to fuse with my character while making the best use of what makes me distinct as a person.  I want to create a faithful reproduction of this character, but still present a Daishou Suguru with an originality to him that he’s burned into the eyelids of everyone in the audience.   This is a production everyone has been looking forward to, and I want to join in with the audience in your laughs, your amazement, everything that might move you.  And I want to create a play so hot, it’ll hit boiling point.
