The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu reveals eight new characters set to appear in Akiba’s Beat, the upcoming Akihabara-set action RPG from Acquire.
The newly revealed characters include:
- Kotomi Sanada (voiced by Sumire Uesaka) – A 17 year-old, third-year high school student who doesn’t attend school. She comes from a distinguished family, and has a sarcastic and authoritative tone with everyone.
- Reiji Shinomiya (voiced by Kenn) – A 28 year-old man searching for someone in Akihabara. He joins Asahi and company after a certain opportunity, but has a cold attitude.
- Mizuki Aihara (voiced by Kensho Ono) – A 20 year-old college student and Asahi’s childhood friend. Compared to the free-spirited Asahi, Mizuki is the more serious and reliable type.
- Kanon (voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara) – The rumored pink-caped man that appeared in Akihabara. He contracts the peoples’ delusions and is thus called the “Delusion Contractor,” but his true identity and intentions are unknown.
- Moe Suzumori (voiced by Yuuki Kuwahara) – An 18 year-old that works for the maid cafe. She is the popular face on the shop’s sign, and legend has it that she hasn’t taken a day off since she started working for the cafe.
- Yoshino Saionji (voiced by Hibiku Yamamura) – A 28 year-old maid who works for Kotomi. She spoils and is always doting on Kotomi.
- Katana Saotome (voiced by Juri Kimura) – A 16 year-old Bokukko maid who works at a bar in the Akihabara side-streets. She has good style and is popular with customers, but her constant lack of confidence tends to make her nervous.
- Akemi Extasia (voiced by Tsubasa Yonaga) – A mysterious woman who runs the bar where Katana works. It’s also an information shop. She takes an interest in Asahi and company and establishes a friendly relationship with them.
The magazine also reveals voice actors for the game’s previously announced characters:
- Asahi Tachibana (voiced by Toshiki Masuda)
- Saki Hoshino (voiced by Azusa Tadokoro)
- Pinkun (voiced by Atsumi Tanezaki)
- Riyu Momose (voiced by Erii Yamazaki)
- Yamato Hongo (voiced by Nobuhiko Okamoto)
Akiba’s Beat is due out for PlayStation 4 and PS Vita this fall in Japan and winter 2016 in North America. If you missed it, catch the E3 2016 trailer here.
