HACHIROTA ROHBE / CV: Yuga Sato

My name is Yuga Sato and I'm the voice actor for Hachirota Rohbe!
I'd like to start by saying that it's a genuine honor to be able to play a new character created by Tite Kubo himself.
When my manager told me that Mirrors High was holding auditions, I was thrilled at the possibility of becoming a part of BLEACH!
I re-read the original story and did some research on various other works in order to enter the role of Hachirota Rohbe for my audition.
When I got the news I'd passed at my agency, I was in a daze, it just didn't feel real. It wasn't until my manager had me put on the Shihakusho they got for me that it had truly sunk in. Joy began to well up inside me, at the same time, the reality that I'd be involved in BLEACH filled me with both a huge sense of responsibility and nervousness. I felt like I had to prepare myself.

It's such an honor to play the role of Giro Hando!
My name is Batori!
I was so nervous during the audition that when I was asked to just speak freely for a bit, my love of BLEACH got the better of me and I blurted out, ""I can recite the Kurohitsugi incantation!"" which led to an improv incantation performance. (laughs)
After failing to control my inner fanboy, I was sure they'd pass on me, so I was thrilled when they announced the casting results!
As a long-time fan of the series, I'll pour my heart and soul into the role and into conveying what makes my character great! Of course, that means I know how high the fan's expectations are, and I'll do my best not to let them down!

TASUKU NIMURA / CV: Hiromu Mineta

I'm the voice actor providing the voice of Tasuku Nimura, my name is Hiromu Mineta.
Saying that I like this series wouldn't even begin to cover it; BLEACH truly is something special.
My heart was pounding when I was in talks to audition for the role, and I still vividly remember the moment I was told I'd passed. I was so happy that I kept reading my audition results over and over—it didn't register to me as real until quite some time had passed.
Back when I was aspiring to be a voice actor, I always dreamt of being a part of BLEACH someday. That's why I'm ecstatic to be part of the cast now—both as a fan and an actor.
Each time I go into recording, I'm moved by the characters and the story unfolding right in front of my eyes. There were multiple times that I felt a huge sense of fulfilment from realizing that at that moment, I was genuinely a part of that world.
I will wholeheartedly take on the role of Tasuku Nimura and give it my all in order to convey even a fraction of the love and passion put into this project to all the fans who love this series.
I'll put all the joy and gratitude I feel at being able to be a part of such a beloved series into my performance. I hope you look forward to the result.

MAIKO TOKISHIMA / CV: Yu Sasahara

BLEACH is my number one favorite series in the world and the reason I even thought about becoming a voice actor in the first place, so I had to pinch myself when I was able to audition for it.
I remember thinking, ""There's no way I'm letting this chance slip away.""
I believe it was destiny that led me to the role of Maiko Tokishima, so I prepared several methods of delivering lines for the audition.
When my manager suggested it might go well if I mentioned that I had my own Zanpakuto, I refused. That was the one thing I wanted to keep to myself... But in the end, I got found out anyway and I had to push past the embarrassment and put everything into my performance.
Honestly, I don't really remember the moment I heard the news that I had passed the audition.
Before this, I couldn't even imagine that my biggest, most unattainable dream would ever come true.
I'm also really looking forward to the day we can play the game.

IBUKI KAJIMARU / CV: Shuichi Uchida

[Read the full comments below]

Pleased to meet everyone! I'm Shuichi Uchida, the voice actor for Ibuki Kajimaru in the BLEACH Mirrors High game!
For me, BLEACH is the very essence of my youth. I could never forget the very first manga I bought using my own money. That manga was volume 3 of BLEACH. The very first CD I bought was UVERworld's ""D-tecnoLife"". And the very first DVD was Bleach: Memories of Nobody. It was all just BLEACH!
When I received the offer to audition, it felt like a dream come true to the point that I couldn’t quite believe it was real. I remember on the day of the audition I still wasn't entirely sure it was actually happening and left afterward with almost no memory of the event itself.
Even on the day I heard I’d landed the role, I honestly couldn’t quite wrap my head around it. It wasn’t until I'd gotten home, taken my bath and was lying in bed that things finally started to sink in, and the tears just flowed out of me.
The pressure and anxiety is pretty intense, but I'm also filled with overwhelming joy as I charge full steam ahead alongside Ibuki!

MIZUKI GANDERA / CV: Natsumi Fujiwara

I've loved BLEACH ever since I was a student—my friends and I would even do the incantations—so when I heard about the auditions, I thought, ""Wow! If I could play a BLEACH character, I'd be over the moon..."" My heart was beating out of my chest during my audition.
When I made it all the way to the final stage of the audition process, we took some time to talk about the project. I was so nervous and I remember feeling dejected on the way home because I felt like I hadn't expressed my thoughts well enough, haha...
But later on, I found out that I'd gotten the part! I was actually jumping for joy!
I really liked how my character looks in her illustration! I hope I can bring out her charm as we embark on this journey together!
And I hope that every one of you will look forward to it as well!

DAIKAKU SOHAJI / CV: Taiki Yamashita

[Read the full comments below]

I'm Taiki Yamashita, and I'm the massive voice actor (size-wise) who'll be playing Daikaku Sohaji.
It feels like only yesterday I was playing every BLEACH game under the sun on my PSP—and reading the manga, of course.
For the record, I'm proud to say that I was one of the premier Byakuya Kuchiki mains.
I tended to avoid the strength-based meathead characters. In the world of video games, at least, I could escape reality and pretend to be as cool and stylish as him!
I think I have a lot in common with Daikaku Sohaji (on the inside and outside, but mostly the outside!) and I tried to ensure that each and every line I recorded conveyed as much of his charm as possible.
I'd be overjoyed if you were even a fraction as excited about the release as I am!

TAMESU GOCHO / CV: Fumiya Imai

[Read the full comments below]

I'm the voice actor for Tamesu Gocho, Fumiya Imai.
A mustache. That's right. A mustache.
When they called to tell me I'd gotten the part, I must've asked them countless times whether I was actually a good fit for this role. They seemed to believe so.
To prepare for the role, I tried growing out my mustache as best I could before recording started, but all the pain I endured during laser hair removal must have paid off because in the end I only managed to grow two lone hairs. What a shame.
I showed up at the studio with the smoothest face possible. I think everyone has fantasized about visiting Soul Society and fighting as a Soul Reaper at one point or another. I've imagined it too, of course.
I'm honored to be a part of BLEACH Mirrors High. And I'm thrilled to set off on this journey with you all.

KANUKA SANAKURA / CV: Saho Shirasu

[Read the full comments below]

My interest in voice acting and what made me want to become one both originate from BLEACH. I'm pretty sure that if I hadn't encountered this story, I would never have decided to become a voice actress.
When I heard that I would be able to audition for the series that meant so much to me, it felt like a dream come true!
The studio audition itself was a blast, too! I remember wishing that my time living in the BLEACH universe—my time being Kanuka—would never end...
So I was jumping for joy when I heard that I got the role!
Never could I have imagined that the dream I had in elementary school would actually come true!
In fact, I had to make sure multiple times that it wasn't actually a dream.
I will cherish these feelings I have of wanting to learn more about Kanuka, and I am truly grateful and ecstatic for the opportunity to be her voice.
Now that I've been entrusted with this role, I'll aim to do my very best!

SEISHIRO GINZA / CV: Tomohito Takatsuka

I was so nervous during my audition! Despite that, I gave it everything I had. Even during the impromptu Q&A session, I spoke plainly about all of the memories I had with BLEACH from when I was a student. I remember leaving the audition without any regrets.
Saho, who plays Sanakura, and I found out that we'd been selected for our roles at the same time, and we were so happy we started jumping around the room together, haha!
To think that I'd actually be able to work on BLEACH! It still feels like a dream.
I'm super-duper fired up!! I'll put everything I've got into playing Seishiro Ginza and make him a character you'll all love! Even I can't wait to see what he gets up to!!

NARU JURINNA / CV: Fuka Izumi

[Read the full comments below]

I'm Fuka Izumi, and I play the voice of Naru Jurinna.
It's still hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that I get to be a part of BLEACH, and as a member of the Thirteen Court Guard Squads on top of that...
When I was a student, I actually went around reciting the Hado Number 33: Sokatsui incantation...
At the audition, I remember getting so enthusiastic that my voice cracked at one point. I really gave it my all to put my own spin on Naru!
The new characters were designed and created by Kubo-sensei himself, and I'm so excited to see how they interact with all the familiar old faces!
Please look forward to finding out how the story unfolds!
