context_page_description: The Takarazuka Revue is a Japanese all-female musical theater troupe based in Takarazuka, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. Women play all roles in lavish, Broadway-style productions of Western-style musicals, and sometimes stories adapted from shōjo manga and Japanese folktales. The company is a division of the Hankyu Railway company; all members of the troupe are employed by the company.
context_section_description: Stories based in Japan and modeled on historical accounts or traditional tales, are often referred to as nihonmono (日本物) or, less frequently, wamono (和物). Among the most common of these adapted to the Takarazuka stage is The Tale of Genji (源氏物語, Genji Monogatari).
  Popular manga series have often shaped Takarazuka, such as in the case of Riyoko Ikeda's The Rose of Versailles. Other manga adaptations include The Window of Orpheus, also by Ikeda, Osamu Tezuka's Black Jack and Phoenix, and Yasuko Aoike's El Halcón.
  Recent examples of works adapted from Japanese novels or short stories include Moon Troupe's Osaka Samurai (大阪侍, Oosakazamurai), based upon the short story by Ryōtarō Shiba, and Flower Troupe's Black Lizard (黒蜥蜴, Kurotokage), based upon the Kogoro Akechi story by Edogawa Rampo.
  In 2009, Takarazuka Revue performed two shows based on an adaptation of Capcom's videogame series Phoenix Wright. They took the stage in January 2013 to represent the courtroom game again with the production titled "Prosecutor Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney 3". In June 2013, the Revue would debut at Tokyo's TOKYU THEATRE Orb an adaptation of another Capcom videogame, Sengoku Basara, done by the Flower Troupe. This focused on character Yukimura Sanada, played by Tomu Ranju, the same actress who had taken the role of Phoenix Wright prior to becoming a top star.
  In 2017, Flower Troupe performed a stage adaptation of the shōjo manga Haikara-San: Here Comes Miss Modern, and will perform it again in 2020. In 2019, Flower troupe also performed a stage adaptation of the shōjo manga Boys Over Flowers.
