KYOTO SAMURAI BOYS

KYOTO SAMURAI BOYS is an all-male performance team formed in August 2019, organized by SAMURAI BOYS PROJECT and directed by Go Ueki (PaniCrew). The team is performing exclusively at the KYOTO SAMURAI THEATER on the grounds of the Heian Shrine in Kyoto.

Their concept is portraying the conflict of young people who live in the space between the digital world and reality as a universal theme that transcends national borders. Thus, their performances are based on a fusion of physicality and technology.

The group is split up into three teams with six members each: Team Tsubaki/Camellia (team椿), Team Kikyou/Chinese Bellflower (team桔梗) and Team Wakaba/New Leaves (team若葉).

They suspended their activities indefinitely from May 31, 2020, onward due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
