1) Thoughts on playing Hanaka
2) A message for Yurukill: The Calumniation Games players

"I play Hanaka Ichirin, the Prisoner. She was arrested for murder, but she's also something of an underground pop star, and has her sights set on becoming the ultimate pop sensation. Because she's been toiling away on the bottom rungs of the pop star circuit, she's no stranger to hardship as well as the sweeter things in life. She's got plenty of very typical pop star quirks, and there were some difficult scenes where I had to really work to keep up with the changing pace of her emotions. I just hope that on the whole, her dedication, professionalism and cuteness shine through. Simply put, Yurukill: The Calumniation Games has a fascinating story—the kind that shocks and chills you and really gets under your skin, and I mean that in the best possible way. I really hope players get stuck into the quizzes and shoot 'em up sections, get to know all the characters and the incidents they're embroiled in, and get to the bottom of the mystery of Yurukill Land!"

[Crafty Killers]

Prisoner: Gentoku Omuro (Voice: Taku Yashiro), convicted of murder—serving a 110 year prison sentence.

Izane works for Yurukill, Inc. as Gentoku’s chaperone. She is mysterious and doesn’t leave much of an impression, and it’s difficult to tell how old she is. You could say she was in her teens or in her thirties and no-one would bat an eyelid. She is extremely timid, and prone to bouts of sobbing. Yet she sometimes makes sly remarks to her teammate, Gentoku.

2) A message for Yurukill: The Calumniation Games players

"I'm sure people will quickly find out once they start playing, but Izane is a very idiosyncratic character, and she was a lot of fun to play. I want everyone to get their hands on the game as soon as possible just so they can see how crazy she is! At first glance she seems pretty feeble, but, well, things aren't quite what they seem. Let's put it that way. Anyway, I hope everyone plays the game once it comes out. I suppose Izane turns out to be a fairly important character... Although you can say that about all of them, Izane is definitely something special. I said it before, but I really can't wait until you can get your hands on Yurukill! It's such an interesting game—I really hope people play right through till the end."

Gentoku is the son of Yurukill, Inc.’s CEO. He feigns being mild-mannered, but inside is malicious, cold-hearted, and abusive. He’s unable to suppress his instinctive “tut” whenever he gets annoyed. He’s taking part in the Yurukill Games as part of a deal with his father.

2) A message for Yurukill: The Calumniation Games players

"Gentoku Omuro looks like the kind of guy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he has this really refined, gentle way of speaking. But the further into the story you get, you start to see another side of his character—to me that's what's so appealing about him. Just like Gentoku, I think there's a lot lurking beneath the surface of the other characters too, so I hope players enjoy delving into that aspect of the game. Yurukill... it's a hell of a ride, haha. When I first saw the title, I got the feeling it'd be a pretty disturbed story. But then again, you've got the "Games" aspect of the title to consider as well—which really piqued my interest and got me thinking just exactly what kind of game this was. I think ultimately, the main draw of this game is the fact that when you start to unpack it, there's all sorts to dive into. Having done voice work on the game, I can say that everything about it, including the characters, is really distinctive. I hope players leave no stone unturned when they try Yurukill: The Calumniation Games out!"

[Death Dealing Duo]

Prisoners: Futa (Voice: Subaru Kimura) and Raita Yamada (Voice: Yuma Uchida), found guilty of a robbery-murder case—serving 78 year prison sentences. Executioner: Kagura Kagutsuchi (Voice: Rie Takahashi), trashy teen. Cheerful and easy-going.
