Nihon Falcom has added four new playable characters to the official Japanese website for Kyoto Xanadu: The Blooming Phantom, bringing the total number of confirmed characters to nine.
On March 13th, the official website was updated to include four new characters: Ren Amano and the members of his Futen team.
Below you’ll find translations of the character backgrounds. Kyoto Xanadu: The Blooming Phantom launches on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC (via Steam) in Japan and Asia on July 16th. We’ll announce the release date for Western regions soon.
Rei Kamiya
Rei Kamiya
Voiced by Hiiro Ishibashi, 17 years old, wields Uchigatana & Wakizashi-type equipment
A 17-year-old high schooler who ends up studying at the Hirasaka Academy after a certain incident.
Despite still having a youthful side, he acts as if he understands everything that’s going on, maintaining a cool and detached demeanor. He does things at his own speed and playfully interacts with others, sometimes with positive, sometimes with less positive, results.
When Rei first arrived at school, he confidently announced he’d master the notoriously difficult “Hirasaka’s Great Labyrinth.” His classmates chuckled, dismissing it as boastful talk, but Rei was serious. He slowly drew his friends into helping, cleverly using strategies and, when necessary, even recruiting talented students to literally lift him up to overcome obstacles and reach his goal.
Fuka Rikudo
Voiced by Coco Hayashi, 17 years old, wields Naginata-type equipment
A second-year student in the Hirasaka Academy; she is registered in the same class as Rei.
She has a classically Japanese beauty, with long, straight black hair and a calm, thoughtful demeanor.
As the oldest daughter of the respected Rikudo clan in Kyoto, she’s incredibly talented. However, she has a complicated relationship with her older brother, Masayuki, who is a powerful and authoritative student council president.
It’s really sad to see Fuka try so hard to blend in at school, basically hiding her true self to avoid attention. People around her even start putting her down, calling her useless, which is awful! At first, she seems okay with it, like she’s accepted just being quiet and unnoticed. But then Rei shows up, and I have a feeling things are about to change dramatically for her. I’m really excited – and a little worried – to see what happens next!
Kazuki Nakiri
Voiced by Ryota Suzuki, 18 years old, wields War Axe-type equipment
A delinquent senior who acts like a lone wolf and is feared in the Hirasaka Academy.
He battles within a maze-like structure as a way to release his hidden, destructive impulses. However, when it comes to his sister, Sena, he doesn’t hesitate to use force to keep her safe, even if it means fighting other people.
Kazuki might seem tough, but he’s actually very clever. When navigating the Labyrinth, he’s able to consider many different strategies.
Sena Nakiri
Voiced by Sayumi Suzushiro, 18 years old, wields Mace & Shield-type equipment
The younger twin sister of Kazuki, Sena is a good-mannered senior with an overwhelming girl power.
She often tries to be a supportive older sister to Rei, but she jumps to incorrect assumptions about love and unintentionally creates problems for herself.
An event in middle school left Sena hesitant to form close relationships. Throughout school, she also shared an unresolved issue with Kazuki.
Rurui
Voiced by Aoi Koga
Rei will encounter a strange girl within the Labyrinth. She appears to be about ten years old, but her true age is a mystery. She’s easily recognized by her awkward way of speaking and unusual presence.
She shows up and vanishes without warning, occasionally popping up at Rei’s place or joining the group exploring the Labyrinth.
Rurui is completely out of touch with what most people think or expect, making her thoughts very unpredictable. However, she has a huge appetite and will eat just about anything.
Masayuki Rikudo
Voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi, 18 years old, wields Odachi-type equipment
He’s the student council president at Hirasaka Academy and has a lot of power. He also leads Eleven O’Clock, the school’s best team.
Honestly, this character is really intense! He holds himself to incredibly high standards, and he expects the same from everyone around him. There’s just this quiet power he has that makes people almost instinctively want to please him – it’s a little intimidating, but also kind of fascinating.
Many people admire Masayuki for his clear talent and strong leadership skills. However, he surprisingly acts distant and harsh towards his sister, Fuka.
Shu Kadenokoji
Voiced by Kazuki Ura, 18 years old, wields Folding Fan & Amulet-type equipment
He’s the second-in-command of the Eleven O’Clock team, and he’s known for being funny and speaking with a refined accent from Kyoto.
He belongs to a family with a long history of leading the Onmyo Bureau, a Japanese government organization that handles supernatural matters. He sometimes represents the Bureau at the academy.
Despite being very different personalities, Shu and his childhood friend Masayuki often find themselves acting the same way. Shu has also known Fuka since they were both children.
Lady Toushu
Voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi, 40 years old
The headmaster of Hirasaka Academy is a mysterious woman who conceals her face with a mask.
She invites a diverse group of people – including those with connections to powerful organizations and qualified individuals like Rei – to compete in the challenging Great Hirasaka Labyrinth. However, she largely observes them, seemingly content to watch how each competitor navigates the competition and chooses their own approach.
LinoN
Voiced by Hina Aoki
Rei is a big fan of a globally popular virtual singer known for her incredible voice.
She performs songs using a beautifully created virtual character. However, about a year ago, she unexpectedly stopped releasing music, leading to a lot of rumors and guesses about what happened.
Ren Amano
Voiced by Takeo Otsuka, 17 years old, wields Kurikara Sword-type equipment
This second-year student is the vice president of Hirasaka Academy’s student council and also leads Futen, a top-performing team.
Coming from a prominent family that leads the Amano Group, a major Japanese conglomerate, he carries himself with grace and refinement. However, he remains humble and easily connects with students from all backgrounds.
On his first day at school, Rei Kamiya announced he would master Hirasaka’s Great Labyrinth, and Ren sensed he wasn’t just talking big.
Zoya
Voiced by Chiharu, 17 years old, wields Shashka Sword-type equipment
This student is part of Amano’s Futen team and is easily recognizable due to her height and short hairstyle.
She’s very impulsive and tends to rush ahead, often leaving Chisa and Rachana behind – they usually stick together.
Zoya is confused by Ren’s interest in the new student, Rei, and responds with hostility towards her.
Chisa
Voiced by Mika Kohinata, 16 years old, wields Kunai-type equipment
A member of Amano’s Futen team known for her small posture and black hair that hides her eyes.
She tends to be quiet and reserved, and often doesn’t share her thoughts because Zoya is so dominant and outgoing.
Chisa is also a skilled assassin, proficient with kunai. Some believe she’s the most dangerous member of the group when she’s truly focused.
Rachata
Voiced by Kazuki Asami, 17 years old, wields Bow-type equipment
A member of the Futen team who has a calm and intellectual atmosphere.
She’s very perceptive and understands what’s really going on in any situation. She also helps keep the peace between Zoya and Chisa.
Rachata is very loyal to her team leader, Ren, and will go to great lengths to help him, as long as it’s reasonable.
