A theatrical company presided over by screenwriter Shimagawa Hiiragi, composer Kuno Asuka and director Odachi Misako. In 2018, when he was a student at Tokyo University of the Arts, he started with the aim of creating a musical that would explode the Japanese body and language. In September of the same year, he performed the musical "Nan no Kotoshiki" with many young artists.
In 2020, he formed "Borzoi of the East" to further develop his work. After the postponement of performances due to the spread of infectious diseases, the group officially started its activities as a theater company in March 2021 with the performance of the musical "Nan no Kotoshiki 2020.".
