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 knows everything and isn’t easily impressed. He does things at his own speed, sometimes playfully teasing those around him, with mixed results.
I still remember the day Rei showed up at school – he immediately announced he was going to beat Hirasaka’s Great Labyrinth, and everyone just burst out laughing! But Rei wasn’t kidding around. He slowly started getting us involved, using all sorts of clever plans. Honestly, sometimes he’d just use people – like, if someone was strong, he’d literally use them to boost himself up! It was pretty wild, but you could tell he was serious about that Labyrinth.


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 beautiful Japanese appearance, with long, straight black hair, and a calm, thoughtful demeanor.
As the oldest daughter of the respected Rikudo family in Kyoto, she’s incredibly gifted. However, she has a complicated relationship with her older brother, Masayuki, who is a powerful and authoritative student council president.
This leads Fuka to hold back and live a quiet life at school, avoiding attention. This causes some people to dismiss her as unmotivated. While she initially seems okay with this, the arrival of a new student named Rei will dramatically change things for her.


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 destructive impulses, keeping them hidden from the outside world. However, when it comes to his sister, Sena, he doesn’t hold back, readily using force to protect her, even if it means confronting others.
Kazuki might seem a bit rough around the edges, but he’s actually very smart. When navigating the Labyrinth, he’s capable of considering 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 conclusions about love and usually ends up creating problems for herself.
An experience 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 mysterious girl within the Labyrinth. She appears to be about ten years old, but her true age is a secret. She’s easily recognized by her awkward way of speaking and unusual presence.
She shows up and vanishes without warning, often surprising Rei by appearing at her house or joining the group exploring the Labyrinth.
Rurui is completely out of touch with what most people think, making her thoughts unpredictable. However, she’s always hungry 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 as such, holds a lot of power. He also leads Eleven O’Clock, the school’s highest-ranked team.
He holds himself and others to very high standards, and his imposing presence often makes people feel compelled to comply with his expectations.
Many people admire Masayuki for his clear talent and strong leadership skills. However, he surprisingly acts cold 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 serving as leaders within Japan’s Onmyo Bureau, a government agency that handles supernatural matters. He sometimes represents the Bureau when interacting with 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 recruits a diverse group of people – including those connected to powerful organizations and qualified individuals like Rei – to compete in the Great Hirasaka Labyrinth. But instead of guiding them, she steps back and observes, seemingly amused by the choices they make and the paths they take.


LinoN
Voiced by Hina Aoki
Rei is a big fan of a globally popular virtual singer known for her incredible voice.
I’m such a big fan of hers! She performs all sorts of songs using this amazing avatar she created. But about a year ago, she suddenly stopped posting, and everyone started guessing what was going on – it was a real mystery!


Ren Amano
Voiced by Takeo Otsuka, 17 years old, wields Kurikara Sword-type equipment
As the vice president of Hirasaka Academy’s student council and leader of the top team, Futen (Vault of Heaven), this student is a key figure in the school.
Coming from a prominent family that leads the Amano Group, a major Japanese conglomerate, he carries himself with grace and humility. Despite his privileged background, he genuinely connects with students from all walks of life.
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, a member of Amano’s Futen team, is known for being tall and having short hair.
Honestly, she’s just so spontaneous! She’ll often rush right up to someone without a second thought, and it always leaves Chisa and Rachana scrambling to keep up – they’re usually right by her side, so it’s funny to see them trying to follow her lead!
Zoya is confused about Ren’s interest in the new student, Rei, and is responding with hostility.

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 outspoken.
Okay, so everyone knows Chisa is amazing with tech, but she’s also secretly a total pro at assassination using her Kunai-style gear. Honestly, people say if she really focuses, she’s the most dangerous member of the team. It’s kinda scary, but super cool!

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.
I’ve noticed she’s really good at figuring things out – she just gets what’s going on. Plus, she’s like the peacekeeper between Zoya and Chisa, always helping them find common ground. It’s awesome to watch!
Rachata is very loyal to her team leader, Ren, and will go to great lengths to help him, as long as it’s reasonable.
