After 1998, the company changed their name to the Kudan Project and started performing in Japanese cities. They also performed in prominent Asian cities such as Taipei, Hong Kong, Beijing, Busan and so on. The word ''kudan'' is the name of legendary Japanese monster that has the head of human and the body of a cow. The kudan sometimes shows up in human habitations and tells the people prophecies of a dire future. After ''Kudan No Ken'', the Kudan Project was looking for a new story to perform. ''Yaji and Kita'' is a two-man story, taking up the theme of reality vs dreams, life vs death. This was perfect match for the Kudan Project, their mission and their philosophy. Furthermore, ''Yaji and Kita'' happen to resemble to the actors, Hideji Oguma and Satoru Jitsunashi. It was fated meeting and they knew that they had to make ''Yayi and Kita'' for the stage. Yaji and Kita also toured and performed in South East Asia, notably at KLPac (Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre) and Francisco Santiago Hall in Makati, the Philippines. KUDAN Project is supported by Agency for Cultural Affairs, Japan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kudan Project Production」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
