Akiho Suzumoto revealed as protagonist voice actress for SHINONOME ABYSS – The Maiden Exorcist

TOKYO, Japan. September 20th, 2024 - Famous voice actress Akiho Suzumoto has been announced as the voice of the protagonist for the new action-based survival roguelike with horror elements “SHINONOME ABYSS: The Maiden Exorcist”.

Akiho Suzumoto will lend her voice to the game's protagonist, Yono. She has worked extensively in anime, games, and theatre, including in the role of Natsuha Arisugawa in “THE iDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS.”

The new game is the second title to be created by KADOKAWA Game Linkage and ABC Animation, who were also behind the Ninja Slayer Neosaitama in Flames franchise which was released earlier this summer. 

Akiho Suzumoto said: “I feel very privileged to be able to voice the protagonist Yono-chan. 

“I portrayed her while feeling her serene and internally fiery personality. Since this is a horror action game, there is a constant undercurrent of suspense and I remember being a little nervous during the recording because it was different from usual. 

“I would be happy if you enjoy the game while watching Yono-chan's efforts!”

SHINONOME ABYSS: The Maiden Exorcist is an action-based survival game which boasts horror elements. It will follow the story of Yono, a Miko (maiden exorcist), trying to track down her missing exorcist brother. However, the hunt takes a turn for the worse when it leads her to a mysterious and terrifying mansion where many mononoke (yokai and vengeful spirits) are waiting for her.

Even those who do not ordinarily enjoy action games can enjoy this game due to its strategic elements.

A special game related live broadcast will take place on YouTube on 28 and 29 September featuring Akiho Suzumoto and a number of game makers, where the secrets of SHINONOME ABYSS: The Maiden Exorcist will be revealed.

SHINONOME ABYSS: The Maiden Exorcist is set to debut on the renowned gaming platform, Steam, as well as Nintendo Switch - and you can add it to your wishlist now. The latest updates about the game are also being posted on its dedicated X account. 

SHINONOME ABYSS: The Maiden Exorcist and Ninja Slayer Neosaitama in Flames will be available to trial play in the KADOKAWA Game Linkage booth at the Tokyo Game Show which takes place on 26-29 September at Makuhari Messe.
