Nihon Falcom has revealed new details and screenshots for Kyoto Xanadu going over characters Masayuki Rikudo, Shu Kadenokoji, Toushu, and LinoN. The voice cast for the four new Kyoto Xanadu characters was also revealed.
Get the full details below, via Gematsu:
Masayuki Rikudo (voiced by Shunsuke Takeuchi)
Age: 18
Soul Device: Odachi types
The leader of the top-ranking team “Juuikkoku” and the student council president, who wields tremendous authority at Hirasaka Academy.
Strict on both himself and others, he carries himself with constant dignity and exudes a quiet aura of intimidation that compels those around him to follow.
Possessing both proven ability and strong leadership, he is respected by many. However, he exhibits an unusually cold and dismissive attitude toward his younger sister Fuka.
Shu Kadenokoji (voiced by Kazuki Ura)
Age: 18
Soul Device: Fan and amulet types
The sub-leader of the team “Juuikkoku,” known for his lighthearted demeanor and refined Kyoto dialect.
He comes from a family that for generations has produced leaders of the Japanese government’s anti-otherworld organization, the “Bureau of Onmyo.” Within the academy, he represents the members dispatched from the Bureau of Onmyo.
Although he appears to have a personality completely opposite to that of Masayuki, who is his best friend from childhood, the two work well together. He has also known Fuka since they were kids.
Toushu (voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi)
Age: 40
A mysterious woman who conceals her face behind a mask and serves as the head of Hirasaka Academy.
She gathers “Chosen Ones” affiliated with various factions, as well as qualified individuals like Rei who do not belong to any specific organization, and has them compete to conquer Hirasaka Xanadu. However, she generally does not interfere with their chosen courses of action, instead watching over their fates as though taking pleasure in it.
LinoN (voiced by Hina Aoki)
A virtual singer who gained worldwide popularity for her gifted voice. The protagonist, Rei, is a huge fan.
Through her enchanting avatar, she has released a wide variety of songs to the world. However, about a year ago, she abruptly went on hiatus, leading to various speculation regarding the truth behind it.
Kyoto Xanadu, previously dubbed the Tokyo Xanadu New Project, will launch in summer 2026 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam. In the meantime, fans can catch up with the Nintendo Switch version of Tokyo Xanadu eX+, which includes 60 FPS support, a revamped localization, a high-speed Turbo mode, and all previously released DLC.
Final Weapon’s review of Tokyo Xanadu eX+ notes that the Nintendo Switch version is the best version on consoles. With a 3.5 out of 5 score, Final Weapon’s review notes that “despite its story and combat-related flaws, Tokyo Xanadu eX+ still presents RPG fans with a great offering of content and features that will make them want to explore Tokyo and discover the secrets of the underworld.”
