Kenta Nomiyama as Hitoshi Sugoroku

The website previously revealed visuals for the four lead characters:

Junpei Yasukawa as Nico

Other cast members include:

  • Taito Hashimoto (Fizzypop) as Samon Gokū
  • Shun Takagi as Mitsuru Hitokoe

The play will run from September 14 to 24 at Tokyo's Zepp Blue Theater Roppongi. Regular tickets will go on sale on Saturday.

Keita Kawajiri is directing the play and writing the script.

Funimation describes the anime adaptation's story:

Welcome to Nanba, the world's largest, most impenetrable prison. Locked away in cell block 13 are four inmates who provide more than enough trouble for Officer Hajime. Between attempted breakouts, gambling, and general misbehaving, these four believe that just because they're in prison doesn't mean they can't have fun! Follow the hijinks of Jyugo, Uno, Rock, and Nico as they pass time behind bars.

The Nanbaka anime premiered in Japan in October, and Crunchyroll streamed the television series and its original net anime sequel simultaneously with Japan. Funimation dubbed the anime as it aired in Japan.

Futamata launched the manga on the Comico app in 2013. The fifth compiled book volume shipped on June 12. Crunchyroll is also offering the original manga online.
