New character PVs show Hinao and Char Kyonagi ahead of the TV premiere in April 2027.
The TV anime Kagurabachi has expanded its cast: Miku Ito voices Hinao, while Miyari Nemoto takes on the role of Char Kyonagi. The series' official website released new character visuals on August 28, along with a separate character PV for each of the two characters.
Hinao works at "Cafe Haru Haru" and connects people seeking the help of sorcerers with the appropriate contacts. Ito describes the character as a special part of the story and hopes to convey her presence at the café in the anime as a kind of familiar place. Char Kyonagi, meanwhile, is being pursued for a reason not yet explained in detail. Nemoto takes on the role and says in her official comment that the offer for Char initially filled her with both joy and nervousness.
