Tensai Bakabon Stage Play Announced

The Otona Keikaku performance troupe is preparing a stage play adaptation of the late Fujio Akatsuka’s beloved comedy manga series Tensai Bakabon (Bakabon the Genius). The 1967 manga depicts the misadventures of a mischievous boy named Bakabon, though much of the action focuses on Bakabon’s father, who regularly causes trouble with his absurd ideas. The manga was adapted into anime television series in 1971, 1975, 1990, and 1999.

Thirteen performances have been scheduled at the Honda Theater in Shimokitazawa, from July 23 to August 1.
