| Forget manga characters and actresses, this was the real thing. Tomomi brought more than mere costume could convey. Star quality, of the kind that could never be bought nor faked, wrapped around Death Note's own starlet. A Japanese idol worthy of Misa Misa's own public appeal. Dressed as Misa. Standing next to Kira. |  |
Kira actor Hayato Kakizawa
at AFA2014
When HoriPro staged a promotion for Death Note the Musical at Anime Festival Asia 2014, they took Kira with them.
Hayato Kakizawa - one of two actors playing Light Yagami - was on hand to meet and greet at the Singapore convention, which ran from December 5th-7th 2014.
He might be Kira personified, yet even that couldn't make him the star attraction for many in the AFA2014 convention crowd. All eyes there were upon his companion.
HoriPro pulled a blinder when it came to publicity for Death Note's first theatrical outing. The ace up its sleeve was Japanese pop idol Tomomi Kasai, erstwhile member of mega selling hit girl group AKB48. While nothing personally to do with the staging of Death Note the Musical, the singer was brought in to make certain that everyone's attention was drawn in that direction.
And while she did it, Tomomi Kasai cosplayed Misa Amane.

Tomomi Kasai brought Misa Amane's look and persona to life like no-one ever has before. Give or take the shinigami eyes, second Death Note and murderous predilection, the girl band JPop sensation practically IS Misa.
