The stage adaptation of the best selling murder-mystery game, Danganronpa has now found the actresses who are going to play the roles of the cool headed detective Kyoko Kirigiri and the lovable girl with a split personality, Toko Fukawa
Playing Kyoko Kirigiri will be actress, fashion model, and singer Rei Okamoto who has appeared in various TV series and movies including Kamen Rider Kiva The Movie: King of the Castle in the Demon World and the live action Detective Conan series. The role of Kyoko is quite challenging to say the least and she must display a calm and cool demeanor when playing the role of the Super High School Detective.
Meanwhile, the Toko Fukawa/ Genocider Syo will be a bit more challenging as the actress playing her will have to switch from one personality to another, and with Toko and Genocider, the difference is like night and day. Taking up that challenge is actress Hikaru Oosawa who admits that she herself is intimidated with her split personality character. Oosawa has appeared in the movie Jinrou Game.
They will be joined by voice actress Sayaka Kanda who will be playing Junko Enoshima as well as Kanata Hongou (Ryoma Echizen from the live action Prince of Tennis) who will be playing main character Makoto Naegi, Akira Ishida (not the voice actor) who plays Yasuhiro Hagakure, Ren Yagami who plays Mondo Oowada, Reina Ikehana who plays Celestia Ludenberg, Seitarou Mukai who plays Hifumi Yamada and manpei Takagi who plays Kiyotaka Ishimaru.
Spike Chunsoft’s Kazutaka Kodaka, who is one of the original video game’s creators will be supervising the Danganronpa stage play. It will be held at the Nippon Seinenkan from October 29 – November 3, 2014.
