The official website for the Uta Emaki “Hikaru no Go” Jyo no Itte stage play adaptation of Takeshi Obata and Yumi Hotta’s Hikaru no Go manga revealed additional cast members for the upcoming show on Tuesday.
Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine serialized the original Hikaru no Go manga with Hotta’s story and Obata’s art from December 1998 to July 2003.
One day, he finds an old bloodstained Go board in his grandfather’s attic–and that’s when things get really interesting.
Trapped inside the Go board is Fujiwara-no-Sai, the ghost of an ancient Go master who taught the strategically complex board game to the emperor of Japan many centuries ago.
