Takarazuka names Yuno Kazama and Hanaka Ruri as Tsukigumi's next top pair

Takarazuka Revue (Japan's famous all-female musical theatre company) has revealed who will lead its Tsukigumi (Moon Troupe) next. The announcement came on November 9.

Yuno Kazama will become the troupe's top star. Hanaka Ruri will be her partner as top actress (the leading female role). Both appointments take effect on March 29, 2027.

Kazama is from Tokyo. She made her stage debut in 2014 and was assigned to Tsukigumi in 2015, so she has spent most of her career in the troupe she will now lead.

Ruri is from Kyoto. She debuted in 2017 and was assigned to Hoshigumi (Star Troupe) that same year. She will move to Tsukigumi as she becomes top actress.

The new pair will headline a national tour from May 20 to June 13, 2027, at seven venues across Japan. For inquiries, contact the Takarazuka Revue Information Center on 0570-00-5100.
