Check out these promotional photos for the upcoming Yu Yu Hakusho stage play 2019 which will begin its run soon in Japan!

Here’s the cast for the Yu Yu Hakusho stage play:

Urameshi Yusuke – Sakiyama Tsubasa

Kuwabara Kazuma – Goumoto Naoya

Kurama – Suzuki Hiroki

Hiei – Hashimoto Shohei

Koenma – Araki Hirofumi

Yukimura Keiko – Mirai

Kuwabara Shizuru – Kadoshima Mio

Botan – Yuka Hirata

Gouki – Nitta Kenta

Genkai – Elizabeth Mary

No word yet if this is ever going to be run outside of the Japan. But if we rely on the track record they have, this won’t likely happen abroad. So its either you fly to Japan and buy a ticket to watch it or you can be on the lookout for the special DVDs that come out from time to time.

I’m a bit bummed though that they didn’t go with Taguro as the play’s main villain. Would have been cool if he was there and said his iconic line or something to that extent…

Man, that’s a classic right there.

Yu Yu Hakusho is a manga series written and illustrated by Yoshihiro Togashi. The series tells the story of Yusuke Urameshi, a teenage delinquent who is struck and killed by a car while attempting to save a child’s life. After a number of tests presented to him by Koenma, the son of the ruler of the afterlife Underworld, Yusuke is revived and appointed the title of “Underworld Detective”, with which he must investigate various cases involving demons and apparitions in the human world. The manga becomes more focused on martial arts battles and tournaments as it progresses. Togashi began creating Yu Yu Hakusho around November 1990, basing the series on his interests in the occult and horror films and an influence of Buddhist mythology.
