Message from CAST

Hama Mike / Ryuji Sato

This series, which I have been involved in for nearly five years since 2021 when I performed the reading play, is finally coming to a conclusion, and I would like to give it a good ending. The hard-boiled style and slightly retro historical background of "Hama Mike" match well with the worldview of Nishida-san's direction and the beauty of his artwork. It is the 30th anniversary of the release of the original movie, and since this is a stage version of a work that has been popular and successful since that time, there is no doubt that it will be interesting. I hope you will respect the original work and look forward to the new aspects that only the stage can offer.

Kozu / Tomoya Fukui (UNiFY)

Hello everyone, my name is Tomoya Fukui, and I will be playing the role of Kozu. Hama Mike" has been loved by many people. I was very happy when it was decided that I could participate in the world of "HamaMike" in the year of its 30th anniversary. Kozu, who I will be playing this time, is one of the key characters in the story, and I would like to carefully express his charm and emotions to the fullest. I will be rehearsing with the cast members who have worked on the "Hama Mike" stage up to this point, and we will do our best to make this a production that will please everyone. I look forward to seeing you all at the performance.

Yuriko / Chihiro Kawakami

My name is Chihiro Kawakami, and I will be playing the role of Yuriko. I have just seen the movie for the first time after being cast in the stage production of "HAMA MIKE: The Trap". It is a fascinating work that shows why it has been loved for so long, and I am very happy to be involved in its world! I am looking forward to seeing how I can express Yuriko's mischievous and sometimes tense facial expressions. I am looking forward to seeing how I can express Yuriko's mischievousness and the tension she sometimes shows. This is the first time for me to play this role, so I will work hard in rehearsals so that I can show you a new side of myself during this period of time! I look forward to seeing you all at the theater!

Mickey/Yudai Ueda

My name is Takahiro Ueda, and I will be playing the role of Mickey. I have always wanted to be in a production directed by Mr. Nishida! I have always wanted to be in a production directed by Nishida-san, so I am very happy to be able to work with him again after a long time. There are also people I have been looking forward to working with, so I am already looking forward to it. Although this is the last in the series and my first time participating, I want to give it my all while respecting the original work and the first performance.

Hoshino / Masaki Yabe (DISH//)

My name is Masaki Yabe, and I will be playing the role of Hoshino-kun. I have played the role of Hoshino-kun since the three stage versions and the reading play version back in the past, and I am deeply moved that I have finally reached the final stage. It is not a matter of course that I can play the role until the finale even if it is a series. It is thanks to the customers who support us. Thank you very much. It is a very sobering feeling. I am already full of joy and confidence to be able to work with the familiar cast and crew again, and I am excited and thrilled to meet the new cast members who will be joining us for this production. I look forward to seeing you at the theater.

Akane Hama / Moeka Koizumi

I am very happy to be able to perform as Akane Hama as I did in the previous and second productions. I wonder if this is the last time I will be able to play Akane Hama, as this is the final part of the series... I feel sad, but I am very happy to be able to play the role of Akane Hama. I feel sad, but I will do my best to support my older brother. Akane is always thinking of her big brother and is a really kind girl. She is firm, smart, and full of love for her family. Compared to the previous work, I felt that she has become so calm and mature that I cannot believe she is a student. I hope that they will continue to be connected by a bond that only a family can see.

As this is the final part of the series, I hope that you will witness the life of Mike Hama, who has been protecting and surviving as a private detective, until the very end, and I hope that I will be able to play the role of Akane Hama to the best of my ability, carefully and carefully facing the work one by one.

Wang Hyakuran / Kanade Nanaki

I was a character that appeared only in the first performance, but I am very happy to be able to live with Mike and the others as an original stage actor in the second and final version of the play. I am very excited to see if I will participate in the battle in this production as well....

If you have not seen Hamaste yet, I hope you will be able to witness and feel the cool and muddy heart-to-heart communication between Mike and his friends. As for Hyakuran, I can't imagine what the future holds for her, but I will live my life like a woman, using the memories of Toku Ken, who passed away, and for the sake of Mike, who saved her! I hope to see you at the theater! 来见我♡

Detective Nakayama / Takeshi Nadagi

I am honestly happy to be playing Nakayama again. Actually, there was a part where I was a bit naughty last time, so I was nervous that I might be dropped for the final part. The film is unique in the way it expresses the unique muddiness and stylishness of Yokohama in an energetic and disgusting way, and the character of Detective Nakayama, who lives in the midst of this muddiness, used to face his job as a detective and do his own justice, but before long, he was swallowed up by the mud of the city and people, and the Nakayama of today was formed. I hope to create a melancholy atmosphere in which the backbone of the current Nakayama can be seen. I had so few rehearsal days for the second production that I was wondering, "Was I invited to this play? I was invited to this play, wasn't I? I'm going to be in it, right? I hope I will be invited more than last time, but there is a possibility that I will be invited less than last time, which is one of the scary things about Nishida's direction. Anyway, I am sure that the final version will be a tremendously fun and austere entertainment, so please enjoy it as heartily as the last one!

Father / Ken Osawa

When I heard about the immortal masterpiece "Hama Mike," I was frankly filled with joy, and at the same time I was elated and felt pressure at the same time with the expectation of being able to participate in the stage that expresses that world view in the final part of the series. The role of the priest I play was played by Shiro Sano in the movie version. I was impressed by the mysterious atmosphere of the character. And this time, to my surprise, I will be working with all the actors for the first time. What I am sure of is that there are many discoveries to be made with such a fresh mind. I am looking forward to the rehearsals with great excitement, not knowing what kind of chemical reactions will occur. I hope everyone will come to the theater and experience it with me.

Mizuki Kageo, a female factory worker / Himari Nonohana

I am very excited to accept the opportunity to participate in the world of "Hama Mike". In the movie, Mizuki and Kageo are played by different actors, and I would like to face these two roles carefully, valuing the fun and depth of my taking on these roles all by myself. I am looking forward to seeing what kind of scenery will emerge as we continue to rehearse. I will do my best while cherishing the atmosphere of the production. I look forward to seeing you all at the theater.

Message from the creators

Original story: Kaizo Hayashi

The Trap" has finally arrived. It is one of the most mysterious works in the Hama Mike series. How will the mystery that could only be expressed in the movie be translated to the stage? That is the main highlight of this performance. I am looking forward to it too much because of the mystery. However, I believe that this mystery will bring the film version and the stage version of this series to a true fusion. And that fusion may lead to a future that has yet to be seen. As the author of the original work, I am very excited to see something happen in Hama Mike's third production, "The Trap. Welcome to this mysterious world!

Written and directed by Daisuke Nishida

Hama Mike" was created by director Kaizo Hayashi. The "Trap," the memorable conclusion to the series, is finally going to be performed on stage. This is the final chapter as a stage production. We will put all our thoughts and feelings into the play and go back to the starting point to create a new world.

The "Trap" is a mysterious work, so please come and see for yourself how the story will unfold on stage!
