The makeup photos of the main characters of the new stage play adapted from the classic masterpiece "Dororo" by the Japanese comics giant Osamu Tezuka were released today. The fantasy adventure is about to become a reality. Let's take a look.

"Dororo" is a famous comic work by Japanese cartoonist Osamu Tezuka. It tells the story of the middle of the Muromachi period in ancient Japan. After experiencing the Onin and Bunmei turmoils, the samurai Daigo Kagemitsu dreamed of dominating the troubled times, so he sacrificed his unborn son to 48 demons, and after his son was born with 48 missing organs, he threw him into the river.

The child was rescued by the doctor Shou Hai, who made artificial eyes and limbs for him to make up for the missing parts of his body and raised him up. The child decided to leave his adoptive father to find a place to settle down. Before leaving, Shou Hai named him Hyakkimaru.

After learning that his organs were taken away by the 48 demons, Hyakkimaru sets out to defeat the demons in order to get them back. On the way, he meets Dororo, a young man (actually a girl) who calls himself a thief, and begins an adventure of fighting monsters.

The new stage play "Dororo" is scheduled to go on tour from March 2, 2019. The main character Hyakkimaru will be played by Suzuki Hiroki, and Dororo will be played by former NGT48 member Kitahara Rie . Stay tuned.
