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!

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!
■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.
