Written by Nobuhiko Horie and legendary manga artist Tetsuo Hara, whose acclaimed works include the worldwide sensation "Fist of the North Star" and drawn by Masato Deguchi, "Keiji's Kabuki Adventure" (original Japanese title "Maeda Keiji Kabukitabi") has been serialized in the manga magazine "Monthly Comic ZENON" since April 2019 and has sold over 500,000 copies. The manga follows the story of Keiji Maeda, the strongest Kabuki-mono: samurai warriors that behaved, dressed, and lived in the most outrageous way during wartime.
Because of his wild nature, Keiji couldn't stand the boring life brought by the new peace gained in feudal Japan after the Battle of Sekigahara (1600). Along with his faithful companion Gon'ichi, Keiji decides to head south to Kyushu for new adventures in order to find strong foes and share his “Kabuki” way of life. There he will eventually meet the “Tiger of Kumamoto” and legendary castle builder: Kiyomasa Katō!
Founded by manga publisher COAMIX Inc., the "096k Kumamoto Drama Company" is an all-female theater group based in Takamori (Aso, Kumamoto). The manga-based theater performance "Keiji's Kabuki Adventure The Stage Play - Chapter of Kiyomasa Katō: The Tiger of Kumamoto" marks their debut!
