Business Overview
Among Osamu Tezuka's most famous works, Black Jack, this is a stage performance that questions the dignity of life without losing its entertainment value by fusing theater robotics, projection mapping, and other technologies with the extremely major works, Human Face Sickness and Deformity Cyst, to depict hot topics in modern society that are suffering from war and the COVID-19 pandemic. This performance, which was 50 years since the manga series "Black Jack" written by Osamu Tezuka, welcomed Akio Otsuka, who played the role of Black Jack in the anime "Black Jack," as the future role of Black Jack, and was well received. The characters in the original manga were drawn life-size by the cartoonist and projected with a projector to change from a two-dimensional cartoon to a three-dimensional actor, and in the scene of the birth of a pinoko, the movements of a person and a robot were synchronized in a dance.
