Staff and Cast Comments

Comments from the staff and cast have also been received, and are introduced below.

Direction: Motoyoshi Tsuneyasu
The sequel is here! Nothing could be happier and more wonderful. The actors' bodies, light, sound, images, stage design, and dance and theater that we made full use of in the previous production! We will make it even richer and connect them. I am filled with such feelings. Based on the previous production, I am excited to create a Plus Ultra stage that will live up to expectations and exceed them. I want the entire company to embrace the world of the original work, where the drama accelerates and becomes more profound, and I want everyone in the company to grasp the theme of "real heroes" and run through it together.

Shin Tamura as Deku Midoriya
The sequel to "Heroste" has been decided! We received a lot of positive feedback after the first performance, and at the same time, many people asked us if we would do a sequel. We, the cast, are very much looking forward to doing a sequel, so we are very happy to be able to present a new production! I hope that many people will enjoy this new production of "The Real Hero" and that we will all work together to make it a success! We will not forget our love and respect for the original work and will do our best on stage with the spirit of "pulls ultra"! Please look forward to it!

Ryota Kobayashi as Katsumi Bakugou
After the first performance, I was thinking "I want to come back here again" and finally the sequel. I am just so happy. Thank you to everyone who supported me. The music that brought together our thoughts and feelings at that time is still my daily source of motivation. This film is a big hurdle that I feel I have to grow as an actor, just like the step he took. But the time I spend with him is unbearable, and the words I speak through him are a source of salvation for me, and he is my unshakable hero. I will do my best. Let's win. Kacchan. I look forward to working with you.

Yume Takeuchi as Chako Reichi
My name is Yume Takeuchi, and I will be playing the role of Reichi Chako. I will never forget the audience who came to stand-room-only seats at every performance of "My Hero Academia" The "Ultra" Stage, where the passion of the audience and the passion of the company collided to complete the show. And again! I'm so happy to be back as Ochako in "Hero Academia" The "Ultra" Stage. I hope that I will be able to face and challenge myself to go "even further" with the new characters. Please look forward to the new Hiroste!

Hiroki Ino as Tenya Iida
I am very grateful for the opportunity to play Tenya Iida again. I believe that in the previous performance, the cast and staff were able to work together to create something good from scratch. As we are going to perform a new production, there is naturally pressure to surpass the first performance, but we will aim even higher with a new cast. Please look forward to it, and I will be waiting for you at the theater!

Ryo Kitamura as Jotoro Todoroki
My name is Ryo Kitamura, and I will be playing the role of Jotaro Todoroki, as I did in the first performance. I am first of all grateful to be able to do a sequel like this, and I can't help but look forward to embodying and delivering that same passion again! I will do my best in this work as well, so please give me your support!

Hiroaki Iwanaga as All Might (Muscle Form)
We will do our best to deliver a work that will surpass the previous production and become a legend that will leave its mark on history!
