All Character Visuals and Cast Revealed for New Stage Production of Haikyuu!!, Set to Premiere in May 2025

Exciting updates have been released for the upcoming stage play Haikyuu!!: Encounter, including its main visuals, cast lineup, and performance schedule. The play will run in Tokyo from May 17 to May 25, 2025, and in Osaka from May 30 to June 1, 2025.

A Story of Passion and Growth

Originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha) from February 2012 to July 2020, Haruichi Furudate's Haikyuu!! tells an inspiring tale of high school volleyball. The series follows Shoyo Hinata as he strives to emulate his idol, the "Little Giant," alongside his teammate and rival, Tobio Kageyama, the "King of the Court." Set in Miyagi Prefecture, the story celebrates friendship, teamwork, and personal growth.

With over 60 million copies of the manga in circulation, Haikyuu!! has become a beloved franchise. From 2015 to 2021, the Hyper Projection Engeki Haikyuu!! series brought the manga to life on stage. Its successor, Gekidan Haikyuu!!, debuted in August 2023, with Kenta Suga—who previously played Shoyo Hinata—now taking on the role of director.
