Akibaranger Season 2 Cast Confirmed
 

Thanks yet again to user DrillBit for pointing us in the right direction for this info. It has been revealed, via the Akiabranger Official Website who the confirmed cast members are for Hikounin Sentai Akibaranger Season 2!

Masato Wada as Nobuo Akagi Akiba Red
Karin Ogin as Moegi Yumeria/Yuko Yokoyama Akiba Yellow
Shione Sawada as Mitsuki Iwashimizu Akiba Blue
Honoka as Malsheena
Maya Uchida as Hiroyo Hakase
Kozue Aikawa as Kozkoz
Ryo Horikawa as new villain General Tsu. Fans of Horikawa will recognize him as the voice of none other than Dragon Ball Z's Vegeta!

Sadly this news confirms what has long been suspected. Akiba Blues' original actress, Kyoko Hinami, will not be returning. She recently changed acting agencies in between the 2 seasons of Akibaranger and as a result can no longer work on the show. Her inability to return will most likely be written into the story as Hate Saburo messing with the Akibarangers universe once again.

The alterations to the Akiba Blue costume probably stem from the characters departure and the new persona that Yellow has taken on (Yuko) could explain the buns where her pigtails used to be. We're still waiting for more info on the Akiba Red Z-Cune Power Up Armor as well.

Who is Shione Sawada?

The post kind of explains it dude :lol

She's the new actress for the new character who will be Akiba Blue.

I think he means in general, as he's never heard of her before :lol

Oh. Well I don't think I'd heard of any of these people before season one.

Well, aside from Honoka.... :o

Gee, I wonder how... :lol

And what about Karin Ogino? She played the Bells in OOO Wonderful, remember?

Yeah but that wasn't particularly memorable. I only figured out that had been her after watching the entirety of Akibaranger

*Googles Honoka.*

…I subtract 8,000 KRX points from you.

Ah. Well, I recognized her by the voice and smile :D

You're really going on this point system, aren't ya buddy?

Well Stardust still has her profile page online.
She is not going anywhere until her contract is done. :)

Now thinking of how to secure a Deluknight from Tamashii Web next month.

In the immortal words of Big Macintosh:

"Ah, yup."

What? When was his release ever confirmed? I definitely would have noticed that.

Really going to miss Blue, but I'm excited nonetheless :D

I assume he means pre-orders, since the July/August news is starting to trickle out.

not sure I like the design changes for the girls

I almost can't believe that we didn't hear about that sooner. I didn't even know they'd confirmed he was actually being released. Considering we've only ever seen Delu-Knight once as a proto at an event I am very but happily surprised.

The information has been pass along 2 months ago from those who had been to the toy show earlier. Only until now that we know it is a web-exclusive.

Probably be a lot of news incoming because of Tamashii Features in Taiwan coming up next week. Derringer(bluefin rep) already confirmed a new Tiger & Bunny figuart will be announced soon.

I meant actress wise.

I'm mostly asking because JEFusion made it sound like we should already know who she is as if she has done these type of shows before or something.

That armour on Akiba Red is creepy as hell.

WTF is that blue thing supposed be?

The redesigned Z-Cune Aoi-Tan

Oh, ok.

I'm sure the different actress for Akiba Blue will be explained as one of Hatte Saburo's doings.

Agreed. It looks like it's holding onto him.

Actually, it looks like the armor is trying to kiss him to me.
