Stage play based on Kazue Katō's manga series runs from August 5-14 in Tokyo

The official website of Ao no Exorcist: Kyōto Guren-hen (Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Crimson Chapter), the new stage play adaptation of Kazue Katō's Blue Exorcist manga, revealed visuals of the cast in costume on Friday. The play had previously only revealed lead actors Ryō Kitamura and Shūto Miyazaki in costume.

The cast includes:

Ikkei Yamamoto as Ryūji Suguro
Kōji Saikawa as Renzō Shima
Yūto Doi as Konekomaru Miwa
Nozomi Maeda as Shiemi Moriyama
Mami Katō as Izumo Kamiki
Taiyō Ayukawa as Mephisto Pheles
Hitomi Yasueda as Shura Kirigakure
Asami Tano as MAMUSHI Hojo
Kōhei Hayashida as Jūzō Shima
Ryūnosuke Matsumura as Kinzō Shima
Mitsuru Karahashi as Shirō Fujimoto
Kōsen as Tatsuma Suguro
Nozomu Masuzawa as Yaozō Shima
Masaya Matsukaze as Saburōta Tōdō

The play's lead actors include:

Ryō Kitamura (Yowamushi Pedal stage play's Jinpachi Tōdō) as Rin Okumura
Shūto Miyazaki (Yowamushi Pedal stage play's Hayato Shinkai) as Yukio Okumura

The play will adapt the Impure King Revival arc from volumes five to nine of the manga, which begins when the "Left Eye of the Impure King" is stolen from the academy. Yukio chases after the culprit, while Rin and the others look for the "Right Eye" that is sealed away in Kyoto.

The play will run for 11 performances at Tokyo's Zepp Blue Theater Roppongi from August 5 to 14. Daisuke Nishida, who directed the Ao no Exorcist: Ao no Homura Kakusei-hen/Kyōto Fujō-Ō-hen stage play in 2014, will return to direct and write the script for the new play. Manga creator Kazue Katō is also helping with the script, and Office Endless is producing the play.
