What drew you to this character?
Because Emi is an energetic character who works part-time at a ramen shop, I also went into the recording full of excitement and in high spirits.
Comment from the performer:
Recognized for her driving skills, Emi joins Denshattack, a competition where Japan’s greatest drivers face off against each other in tricks and races. With its stylish, cool, and cute art style and exhilarating sense of speed in the driving, it’s a thrilling and incredibly fun game!
The allies and enemies you meet along the way are all super, super, super unique and absolutely full of charm! And not only is it exhilarating, there’s also a certain scene with her grandmother that really moved me...!

What's your favourite thing about playing Fernando?
The way everything came to life through the camera felt so vivid and exciting, and I found myself speaking Fernando’s lines with that same sense of thrill.
Comment from the performer:
I had actually heard about Denshattack! even before I joined the project as a voice actor, and I remember thinking, “Whoa, what is this insane game?!” (laughs)
As someone who uses the train every day, it was quite the experience to see the potential of how they could be used in-game. I can’t wait to see everyone unleash their inner Denshattack spirit!
I hope you’ll have a lot of fun playing.

Hello, everyone! I’m Hana Takeda, and I voice Yoshie in Denshattack!.
What drew you to this character? I first fell in love with how vivid her character design was, and how exciting the world of Denshattack! was. Because of how stylish, upbeat, and full of energy she is, Yoshie was such a fun character to bring to life in a lively, playful way.
Comment from the performer: Hearing that “you move trains along the tracks and pull off tricks!” might sound a little strange at first, but once you play the game, I think you’ll really get to enjoy that feeling for yourself! It’s a wonderfully over-the-top game, so I hope you enjoy it!

Hello, everyone! I’m Motoki Sakuma, and I play Fumihiko in Denshattack!.
What drew you to this character?
What drew me to Fumihiko was the contrast between his cool, rock-and-roll way of life and the playful side he shows when he hums to himself. That unique gap in his personality made him a lot of fun to perform.
Comment from the performer:
The story and battles created by this original world and its colorful cast of characters were full of surprise after surprise. I’m sure players will enjoy them as much as I did.
🕸️Yamagata grew up on the streets of Namba raising his siblings after his mother died, and has been at war with authority ever since. Expelled from the local gang for refusing to work with corrupt police, he built his own crew of outlaws across the Kinki area using abandoned train lines as their network. Yamagata is reckless, principled and never backs down.

I’m Yasuhiko Tanabe, and I played Yamagata in Denshattack!.
What drew you to this character?
What drew me to Yamagata was the unexpected contrast within the character—at first I thought they might be rough and hard-edged, but they also reveal serious and delicate sides. That complexity made the role especially challenging.
Comment from the performer:
Above all, it’s artistic! And speedy! Kaiju! Giant robots! This title really has it all.
You may find yourself thinking, “Have I ever seen scenery like this before?!”
And yet, there’s no mistaking it—this is Nippon (Japan).
Immerse yourself and lose track of time while riding the beat in the world of Denshattack!
💀Shihori Yoneda is a Yakuza captain and the heir to the Yoneda family, who fought twice as hard as anyone else to earn her place. The family moved into Denshattack! to keep a grip on crime outside the domes; useful leverage with the government. Shihori is the final obstacle standing between Emi and her goal: ruthless, powerful, and completely committed to keeping the status quo intact. Defeat her, and she'll respect you for it.
