Kira Buckland, Angela Tran join Kitsune Tails' voice cast
The voice cast for Kitsune Tails was revealed on Thursday.
Kira Buckland (NiEr: Automata, Street Fighter V, Ace Attorney) will lend their voice to the game’s protagonist Yuzu, who “lives and loves in the world of humans while serving as a divine messenger for the kitsune goddess, Inari.” Angela Tran (Genshin Impact, Akedo: Ultimate Arcade Warriors) will voice Yuzu’s childhood friend Kiri.
Katlyn Dannes (The Homework's Revenge: Esther in Wonderland and Square Roots) will voice the human healer Akko while Brent Mukai (Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Pokemon Masters) portrays the Cat Merchant. Mylo Reid (Kiri’s uncle Kamino), Kellyn Stephens (the Village Elder), and Shogo Miyakita (the Ghost Samurai) round out the voice cast. A voice cast announcement video can be seen below.
Kitsune Games (Super Bernie World) founder Emma 'Eniko' Maassen said this about the voice cast:
“Auditioning so many talented voice actors to help bring the world of Kitsune Tails to life was rewarding and a challenge to determine who was the right fit. The fact we got the talent behind 2B to voice Yuzu is still surreal to me, and we hope our fans enjoy this taste of what’s to come!”
A synopsis for Kitsune Tails reads:
Run, jump and dash across five worlds inspired by Japanese mythology as Yuzu, a young and inexperienced member of the fox people called kitsune serving as a divine messenger of the goddess Inari. Follow her destiny and prove even a half-kitsune with a human father can master adorable elemental outfits bestowing powerful abilities including ground pound attacks, running on water, shooting fireballs, and freezing enemies solid.
A mishap on Yuzu’s first outing leaves her in serious trouble. Fortunately the friendly healer Akko saves the kitsune from a dire fate. Perhaps this turn of events was written in the stars, as a budding romance develops between the two young women. Unfortunately, Yuzu’s childhood friend and mentor has other plans, and with the help of a special amulet gifted to Yuzu by her goddess she must rescue Akko from her former mentor before it’s too late.
A crowdfunding campaign for Kitsune Tails will be unveiled soon. The game is slated for release on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. The game can be wishlisted on Steam right now.
