The live-action stage adaptation of Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, titled Ultra Wacky Stage☆Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, opened on October 23 at Tokyo’s Theatre 1010. Actress Riona Tatemichi, who plays Torpedo Girl, has become a trending topic online due to the drastic shift in character compared to her past roles, with fans expressing surprise at her versatility.

Tatemichi, an accomplished stage actress, has portrayed a wide range of characters including Tuxedo Mask in Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon: The Super Live, Hange Zoë in Attack on Titan -the Musical-, and Mei Mei in Jujutsu Kaisen the stage play. Her portrayal of Torpedo Girl in Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, wearing a full-body costume, marks a dramatic departure from these previous roles, creating an entertaining visual contrast that has captivated fans.

Social media reactions have been filled with disbelief: “I can’t believe the same actress who played Hange is now Torpedo Girl,” and “She’s truly a chameleon, going from battling titans to becoming a torpedo in Bobobo!”

Based on Yoshio Sawai’s absurd gag manga that ran from 2001 to 2007, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo has sold over 7 million copies and was adapted into an anime in 2003. This new stage adaptation combines classic gags and battles from the manga with unique musical and dance elements to bring its wacky world to life.
