Overview
The Japanese voice cast for Beast of Reincarnation was first revealed on June 7, 2026, during a developer interview with director Kota Furushima that aired at the PC Gaming Show. The reveal confirmed nine voice actors and named Yui Ishikawa as the voice of protagonist Emma. The game ships with Japanese voice acting; full language and subtitle support is listed on the store pages.
At the reveal itself, only Emma's actor was paired with a named character. Official character profiles published on June 9, 2026 alongside the Japanese physical edition then paired four more actors with named roles, so five of the nine announced cast members now have confirmed characters and four remain unassigned. Koo has no listed voice actor; he communicates through animal vocalisations rather than dialogue.
Confirmed Cast
The following Japanese voice actors were announced for the game.

Character Profiles Published With the Cast
The same announcement carried a short official profile for each named character. These are the profiles as published, and they are the first official descriptions of several of the supporting cast.
Character | Voice Actor | Profile |
|---|---|---|
Yui Ishikawa | The protagonist, a Blightborn with neither memories of her past nor emotions, who wants to understand the feelings she lacks. Colony residents treated her as a Malefact and shunned her, until the King of the Capital charged her with the journey to destroy the Beast of Reincarnation. | |
Not listed | A white Malefact who joins Emma's journey after the two of them resonated with one another. He fights with powerful Blooming Arts and is happy to be petted between fights. Why a Malefact that should be her enemy follows Emma at all is left unexplained. | |
Miyuki Sato | A spirit girl only Emma can see, and the one presence Emma can be open with while living alone at the edge of a Colony. Emotionally expressive, and sometimes protective of Emma like a guardian. | |
Akio Otsuka | Pilot and mechanic of a vehicle called the purification ship, and the man who carries Emma to the Capital once the King's order is given. He knows the outside world well and guides her with advice, keeping a quiet resolve behind his mask. | |
Sumire Morohoshi | An introverted girl from a Colony who lost her parents, was isolated by the people around her, and lived under mistreatment from Golems. A particular incident brings her along on Emma's journey, where she sustains the party's day-to-day travel. | |
Yu Kobayashi | A formidable swordswoman making her own way to the Capital, capable of cutting a steel-bodied Golem in two. Like Emma she is a Blightborn travelling with a Malefact, and she repeatedly opens contact with Emma as though she is watching over her. |
The announcement noted that further characters and cast members appeared in the PC Gaming Show segment beyond the six profiles published in text, so more pairings are expected before launch.
Reveal Details
The cast was announced alongside fresh gameplay and story details in a recorded interview segment. Furushima discussed the game's world, narrative, and the bond between Emma and Koo. The interview reiterated that Emma is a "Blightborn" outcast who lacks memory and emotion, and that the pair travel west to confront the Beast of Reincarnation, the source of all blight.
Notes
Four announced actors are still unpaired with a character: Akira Ishida, Satoshi Mikami, Rina Satoh, and Tetsuo Kanao. Those assignments will be added here once an official cast sheet pairs them. No English-language dub cast has been announced, although the store language table lists English as a full-audio language alongside Japanese. Beast of Reincarnation launches August 4, 2026, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
