Nintama Rantaro Musical Cast to Shine on NHK E-TV’s Variety Show
The fans of the long-running series have something very exciting to look forward to this week. The musical `Nintama Rantaro''</b> is all set to be featured on <b>NHK E-TV's</b> popular variety show, <b>`Numa ni Hamattete Kiitemita'' (often called Numahama). This special episode is scheduled to broadcast from 8:00 pm on March 7th. It is going to be a treat for those who love the 2.5-dimensional theatre world, as the cast members are bringing their energy straight to the television studio.

For those who might not know, the musical "Nintama Rantaro" is a brilliant stage adaptation of the classic Nintama Rantaro anime, which itself is based on Amago Sobe's famous manga "Rakudai Ninja Rantaro". These stage performances actually started way back in 2010. Over the years, it has become a true pioneer in the 2.5-dimensional theater scene. While the anime usually focuses on the adventures of the lower-class students, the musical has gained a massive following by highlighting the upper-class students, played by talented young actors who bring a lot of charm to their roles.
Meet the Stars of the Numahama Special
The upcoming show will feature several prominent faces from the 6th-grade cast. It is quite a big lineup, and fans will be happy to see their favourites on screen. The guests appearing in the studio include:
- Kenichi Yumoto
- Kazutaka Watanabe (also referred to as Kazuki Watanabe)
- Yuya Arai
- Reiji Sakagaki
- Yudai Suzuki
- Soichiro Sorihashi
Apart from the main 6th-grade students, we will also see Hikaru Takahashi, Raimu, and Ritsunori Kawai, who are part of the Dotake Ninjatai cast. The variety show will also feature regular members like Hama Okamoto from OKAMOTO'S, Saya from Lalande, and Shintaro Morimoto from Tontukatan. They will all be part of the discussion, making the atmosphere very lively and fun to watch.
Behind-the-Scenes Secrets and High-Octane Action
The episode isn't just about talking; there is a lot of action packed into it. The cast members will be sharing some really interesting behind-the-scenes stories about how the musical is produced. We will get to see close coverage of the training process and how they create those full-fledged action scenes that look so cool on stage. A professional swordfighter from ``Shinobi Myu'' has also been invited to the studio to show off some skills. It is really fascinating to see the hard work that goes into making the Nintama Rantaro stage play so successful.
One of the biggest highlights of the episode will be the performance corner. The cast is going to perform a special Numahama version of the very popular song "Hyakuren Seiko". This performance is special because it will include choreographed scenes using the unique weapons of each 6th-grade student. It’s definitely something you wouldn't want to miss if you are a fan of the music and the choreography of the series. Make sure to tune in and see these ninjas in action!
