As some of you may already know, Yoshimoto Kouki has stepped down from his role as Bokuto Koutaro due to his right foot injury. I am truly heart broken and in regret especially since there are only two actors from Fukurodani included in the performance. But I know that more than anyone else, it is Kouki that’s feeling the most difficult and regret in this situation. What I can do myself now is to go forward and point upwards; to give my all into making the best stage performance. I will earnestly give my absolute best in this remaining month while carrying Kouki’s feelings together with mine. Please continue on supporting Fukurodani and Engeki Haikyuu!! And lastly, I pray for Yoshimoto Kouki’s quick return.
