additional cast

Kotori Koiwai will play the role of Amari Tennoji, the princess of the ninja village, and Hitomi Ueda will play the role of Utsuro, a mysterious girl who is a member of Amara Riruku.
We have also received comments from each cast member.

Tennoji Fu (CV: Koiwai Kotori)

A ninja and princess from Shimoga no Sato. She is ignorant of the world and has a weak constitution, but her ninjutsu skills are excellent.
She always carries around her favorite sword, Shinto Muku, and she is a runaway from the village.

<Comment>
My name is Kotori Koiwai, and I will be in charge of the voice of Tennoji Amou.
Although she is the older sister of the ninja sisters, she is troubled by her lack of strength, but she is a strong-willed girl who walks straight.
I would like to try to understand the subtleties of her heart and record her.
And she…it’s a personal matter, but she loves ninjas…! I am happy that one of her dreams has come true.
She would like to do her best to brighten up the world of “SHY”.

Utsuro (CV: Hitomi Ueda)

A member of “Amara Riluk”. He always carries a sword with him,
He feels emptiness in this world.
I know about you and am looking forward to meeting you, but…?

<Comment>
My name is Hitomi Ueda, and I play the role of Utsuro.
Since she is in a position of conflict with Shai and the others…
At this point in time, I think it would be too close to her to tell everyone about her thoughts and thoughts about her character, but just a little bit…!
I will try my best to understand why she is so “blank” and to become someone who stands firmly in front of the heroes.
I am very happy that I was able to connect with Utsuro and “SHY” because of my ability to speak the Kansai dialect.
A story about a shy but warm and kind hero…
We look forward to seeing you in the second season of the anime.
