Karakter & Staf — The World Is Dancing

Oniyasha

Utama

Male · Umur 12

A boy who tends to drift off into his own thoughts, he is the son of Kan’ami, head of the Kanze troupe. Even though he’s expected to one day lead the troupe, he questions the very purpose of dance itself: “Why do people dance?” Once his curiosity or desire to explore something kicks in, he charges straight ahead without thinking, constantly dragging everyone around him into the commotion.

Yumiri Hanamori

Ishiya

Pendukung

Male

A member of the Kanze troupe and someone who truly understands Oniyasha. Because of a leg condition he’s had since childhood, he gave up on ever performing on stage, but he’s skilled at chanting and often helps Oniyasha with his practice. He’s a kind-hearted boy who cares deeply for both the Kanze troupe and Oniyasha. (Source: Official Site)

Kogane

Pendukung

Male

A friend of Oniyasha’s. He’s always down by the riverbank, where he and Oniyasha—who sneaks away from practice—spend their time making up ridiculous stories together. Rough around the edges but surprisingly dependable, he actually seems to have an interest in dance. (Source: Official Site)
