Shintaro Takemura

The official stage play adaptation of Koyoharu Gotoge's series Kimetsu no Yaiba. The time is Taisho, Japan. One day, Tanjiro, a kind-hearted boy who sells charcoal, has his entire family killed by a demon. Furthermore, his only surviving sister, Nezuko, has been transformed into a demon. Tanjiro is devastated by the hopeless reality, but decides to pursue the path of "demon hunting" in order to return his sister to a human and avenge the demon that killed his family. The sad story of brother and sister, woven together by humans and demons, begins now!

The bloodlines of "Oni" and "Momotaro" have been passed down among certain humans for generations. Long ago, the Oni, aware of their own ferocity, lived in seclusion. However, their peace was shattered by an invasion led by Momotaro. Over thousands of years, these two factions formed the "Momotaro Agency" and the "Oni Agency," respectively, and have been locked in conflict ever since. The protagonist, Shiki Ichinose, suddenly learns of his Oni lineage following an unexpected attack by Momotaro. This revelation sets Shiki on a path to discover the destiny that lies within his blood — a meeting with the Oni dwelling within him.
