Uramichi Oniisan: Stage Continuation Opens in July 2027
The new production was unveiled at a fan event in Kawasaki; venue, cast and tickets have not yet been announced.
The 2.5D stage adaptation of Uramichi Oniisan is getting a continuation, set to run in July 2027. The production team announced the new play at a fan event on November 7, 2026. Specific performance dates, the venue, the cast and ticket sales are not yet known.
Announcement at the Kawasaki Fan Event
The announcement came at the end of the third session of the fan event in the Furusato Hall of the Kawasaki Civic Plaza. The organizers Sunrise Promotion and PLANET KIDS ENTERTAINMENT had staged three shows there on November 7. The program was designed as a recording of the fictional children's show "Maman to Together," which also plays a central role within the story of Uramichi Oniisan.
The audience was divided into a red and a white team and took part in competitions alongside the performers. Among other things, visitors passed stuffed animals along, searched for objects for a guessing game and tossed paper balloons into baskets. To close, performers and audience moved to the music of the "ABC Taiso." Only shortly before the end of the final part of the event did the news about the next stage play follow.
What Is Known About the Continuation
So far only July 2027 has been confirmed as the performance period. The performers who took part in the fan event were not automatically announced for the continuation. For that reason, neither the role casting nor a return of individual actors can be treated as certain. A specific venue and information about tickets are also still missing.
The first stage version of the manga by Gaku Kuze ran from July 8 to 12, 2026 at the Theater Sun Mall in Tokyo. Its concept brought the fictional children's television production to the stage and explicitly involved the audience in the action. The manga already served as the basis for a 13-episode TV anime series in 2021.
More Manga Stories on Stage
Other manga are also being continued as theater productions: in August 2026, for example, the first stage adaptation of Dandadan began. A stage play of Hana-Kimi is also announced for 2027. For Uramichi Oniisan, however, so far only the return of the 2.5D format in July 2027 is certain.
