posted on by Karen Ressler

The staff of the historical Minamiza Theatre in Kyoto announced the theater's 2018-2019 lineup at a presentation on Friday, and it will include the Naruto kabuki play in June 2019.

It will also include a collaboration between Hatsune Miku and kabuki actor Nakamura Shidō in August 2019 — the actor and virtual idol previously starred together in Hanakurabe Senbonzakura in 2016.

Minamiza Theatre dates to the Genna era (1615-1624). The theater closed for remodeling to make it safe against earthquakes in 2016, and it will reopening in November. The first performance will be the return of the theater's annual "Kichirei Kaomise Performance" kabuki production.

The kabuki play adaptation of Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto manga will run from August 4-27 at the Shinbashi Enbujō theater in Tokyo
