KonoSuba, better known as the abbreviation for "KonoSuba", is a very famous work that focuses on reincarnation in another world. The original work is so popular that it has sold over 10 million copies, and the anime has aired two seasons. The third season is scheduled to air in April this year, and fans are already excited. New characters will appear in the new series, but do you know who the voice actors are? In this article, we would like to introduce the cast of new characters all at once!
Introduction: What is the story?
High school student Sato Kazuma (Kazuma) dies in an accident. In heaven, the goddess Aqua invites him to reincarnate in another world, but Kazuma is angry at Aqua's mocking attitude, so he drags Aqua into the reincarnation. In the reincarnated world, Kazuma becomes an adventurer, and Aqua becomes an archpriest. After that, he makes friends with Megumin and Darkness, and spends his days being tossed around by their problematic behavior, including Aqua. And those problematic behaviors cause great turmoil. What will happen to Kazuma's life in another world?
Takao Kanon (Berserk Stylish Sword Iris)
Takao Kanon has been familiar with the piano since childhood, and her brother Takao Kanonosuke is an active pianist. Takao himself has a brilliant career, having won a prize at the Milan Piano Competition. Her talent as a voice actor also blossomed at a fairly early stage, winning the Grand Prix at the National Voice Actor Grand Prix at the age of 12. Her favorite anime include "K-On!" and "Encouragement of Climb," and she has actually appeared in "Encouragement of Climb." Since around 2020, she has been appearing in more works, and this year she also appeared in "One Room, Normal Sunlight, With Angels."
Yahagi Sayuri (Claire)
Yahagi Sayuri originally liked anime, but at first she didn't think about becoming a voice actor. However, she started to think about aiming to become a voice actor after a friend told her, "You have an anime-like voice," which led her to aspire to become a voice actor. During her school days, she was a member of the softball club and played pitcher and shortstop. By the way, Yoko Hikasa, who is a good friend of hers both in public and private, also plays softball. She is also good friends with Satomi Satomi, and Yahagi, Hikasa, and Sato co-starred in "Seitokai Yakuindomo."
Ueda Reina (Rain)
Ueda Reina started to think about voice acting when she was in junior high school and there was a member of the drama club who wanted to be a voice actor. When she was in her third year of high school and had to choose her career path, she sent her resume to audition for a voice actor position. Her debut work was "Inazuma Eleven GO Chronostone." She made headlines for playing 18 people in "Tesagure! Bukatsumono." She said that she was happy when her name filled the screen during the ending credits because it gave people a chance to know her. She is originally from Toyama Prefecture and has a strong attachment to her hometown, so she almost always wants to go to Toyama Prefecture when filming on location. She is the type of person who gets into her role, and when she was playing Shinjo Akane in "SSSS.GRIDMAN," she found it difficult to communicate with the people around her.
