Eiji Sumida (澄田英二 Sumida Eiji) seems new to theatre, but held an interest in acting prior to joining the company.

One of the draws of acting for him is the opportunity to wear outfits that you wouldn't ordinarily wear. He is generally enthusiastic and is a self-proclaimed fan of Yuki, even going so far as to consider writing a fan letter asking to be made his apprentice.
