This stage production tells the story of the legendary 'full-time hero Segasawa Mamoru,' who once saved the world but instantly became unemployed when peace arrived. Now, as a 'great evil' awakens once more, he faces the cruel dilemma: 'If I defeat it— I'll become unemployed again.' This is a clumsy, heartwarming, and humorous family story of an overly perfect 'hero.' Under the script and direction of genius IKKAN, the flashy action scenes will be choreographed by Taiki Nemoto, who has worked as an action director and stuntman on numerous productions.
General pre-sale tickets will be available from June 19 (Fri) 12:00 to June 26 (Fri) 23:59 (first-come, first-served). General sales will begin reservations on July 19 (Sun) at 12:00. Ticket prices are set at an affordable 5,000 yen, a rare price point for modern produced stage plays.
Playing the protagonist 'Segasawa Mamoru' is Manato Izumi, known as both an actor and swordplay choreographer, and also famous as 'Oniisan Manato' on the popular channel 'Uta Sta.' Additionally, this marks the highly anticipated comeback stage performance of Koichi, who previously starred in the film 'CAGE' and the play 'Three Rage' before a temporary hiatus. This production is a talked-about work featuring a luxurious cast of 24 members, supported by numerous corporate sponsors.
