CastEdit
Most of the cast of Karasuno from The Summer of Evolution returned; though the roles of Sugawara, Akaashi, and Daichi were recast. In addition, new cast members for Johzenji High, Wakutani Minami High and Wakatoshi Ushijima joined the ensemble. Originally, Kōki Yoshimoto was set to reprise the role of Bokuto, but a foot injury made him withdraw from the play. Takumi Higashi, previously the actor for Konoha, was brought in as a replacement. Keita Tanaka, the actor for Daichi from the first run, reprised the role, replacing Kentarō Akisawa.
