The Rising of the Shield Hero may not have ended 2019 as strongly as it initially began, but the first season of the anime was one of the most talked about anime series for the first few months of that year. It was so popular in fact that it was confirmed for two additional seasons shortly after the first season came to a close, a cameo in the Kadokawa isekai anime crossover Isekai Quartet, and a new stage play will be coming to Japan later this year. The new play will start its run later this March, and has shown off a new batch of character posters for the cast.

Joining the previously revealed cast posters for Erena Kamata as young Raphtalia, Carin Isobe as the older Raphtalia, Ikkei Yamamoto as Motoyasu Kitamura, Yuho Matsui as Ren Amaki, Taiga Fukuzawa as Itsuki Kawasumi, and Atsushi Maruyama as Elhart, is Yuya Uno as Naofumi Iwatani among a few others. Here's Naofumi's focus poster:
