Nintama Rantaro The Stage: ~Bright, Fun, Joyful!~

Welcome to the stage play "Nintama Rantaro" ~Bright, Fun, Joyful!~ This is a new Nintama stage production. There's no spectacle like in "Nintama Rantaro the Musical." The play depicts the everyday lives of the Nintama. Laughing, fighting... Behind the constant major incidents that occur, there lies a heartwarming everyday life like this. Even their arch enemies, the Dokutake Ninja, aren't fighting all the time. With a relaxed attitude, the Nintama enjoy school life at Ninjutsu Academy, a ninja school that is, in a sense, a paradise in the midst of the Sengoku period. A "bright, fun, and happy!" world, just as the title suggests, unfolds. If you can feel warm and fuzzy as you peek into their slightly laid-back daily lives, both the Nintama and the Dokutake Ninja will be just a little happy.

Directed by Yutaka Kainuma, Nintama Rantaro The Stage: ~Bright, Fun, Joyful!~ leans on a strong ensemble — 岸野譲, Haruto Shima, 福田龍世 — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2022.
