Members of Osaka-based Yoshimoto Kogyo Co., one of the nation's leading entertainment production companies, will perform in Hollywood on July 1 for the first time in four years. The venue will be the Kodak Theatre, the home of the Academy Awards ceremony. Led by Katsunori Uchiba, the troupe for the Hollywood performance comprises 20 members, including such popular talents as Medaka Ikeno, Koji Imada and Razar Ramon (HG). Although they will perform in Kansai dialects without English supertitles, Uchiba is confident that their performance will be well received.
