“Sengoku Basara” takes to the stage

The popular Capcom action game “Sengoku Basara” (also known as “Devil Kings”) is being adapted to theater. The video game has already had multiple sequels released, in addition to anime and manga adaptations.

The story is set during Japan’s Sengoku period and revolves around two warlords, Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura. Masamune will be played by Yuki Kubota, best known as the character of Keigo Atobe in the "Prince of Tennis" musicals. Yukimura will be played by Shinwa Kataoka, who served as Go-On Blue in the recent tokusatsu series “Engine Sentai Go-onger.”

Daisuke Nishida of the theatrical troupe AND ENDLESS is writing and directing the “Sengoku Basara” stage adaptation. Performances will be held at Tokyo Dome’s Theater G-Rosso from July 3 to July 12.
