Recitation Drama of Osamu Tezuka’s Classic Tale “Dororo”

Posted on by

Two veteran voice actors, Yuki Kaji and Shinichiro Miki, performed a recitation drama of Osamu Tezuka’s classic story, Dororo. This actually seems like a series of performances with different voice actors, so I’ll try to include some more information about that below as well!

Just a couple days ago, the talented voice actors Yuki Kaji and Shinichiro Miki performed a recitation drama depicting the story of Dororo.

▶︎ About Mikikura no Kai

Introducing a dynamic duo comprising voice actor Shinichiro Miki and director Tomoyuki Kuramoto, Mikikura no Kai showcases a profound celebration of the elegance and potency inherent in the Japanese language. Employing the time-honored technique of “reading aloud” that has resonated throughout Japan’s history, this unit brings forth an engaging experience.

Comprising two essential performers, they not only read the script aloud but also bring to life a myriad of characters within the narrative. With heartfelt passion, they seamlessly draw the audience into the enchanting world of the story, creating an immersive and captivating experience.

We firmly believe in the formidable influence of words, the compelling force of narratives, and the transformative power of authentic acting.

▶︎ Dororo, the motion picture from 2007

If you’re a fan of the Dororo story, I’d suggest checking out the motion picture from 2007, which starred two of my favorite Japanese actors, Satoshi Tsumabuki and Ko Shibasaki and also had an awesome theme song performed by Mr.Children, “Fake”.
