Hakata Girls Kabuki: "The Tanuki Palace of Hakata's Okuni"
The first part consists of an action comedy play written by Yokouchi Kensuke containing influences from Super Kabuki, a style of Kabuki (classic Japanese theater) mixed with influences from modern theater plays.
Its title is based on the supposed originator of Kabuki theater "Izumo no Okuni" (Okuni of Izumo), now becoming Okuni of Hakata instead.
The play is set in Sengoku era Japan, where Kinuta, a girl from the Tanukura Household yearns to preform the star role in the local Kabuki theater. However, she and her family are actually Tanuki (Raccoon Youkai) in disguise. And when the Troupe of the local theater, named after their current star Okuni and led by Umimaru, catches on to this, trouble starts brewing.
