Say Hello to Emma Koishikawa!

Greetings, SOUSAI fans! This is Kameyama, the series’ Planner and Producer.

It’s the second year of the series, and we’ve got a new character to introduce!

I'm writing this blog for those of you who haven't yet had a chance to see the live stream or the information we shared on Twitter.

Just like Madoka, Koyomi and Ritsuka, this new character is designed by En Morikura, and her name is "Emma Koishikawa."

Emma Koishikawa [ST. IRIS GAKUEN GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL]

She attends St. Iris Gakuen Girls' High School along with Ritsuka and is a second-year student. Her dream is to become an illustrator, and she spends most of her days drawing like crazy trying to become one of the best artists in the world.

She really enjoys "tokusatsu" shows (like those live action hero shows), video games, and anime. She loves big, cool things like mecha and robots, and is especially fond of red dragon robots and transforming mecha.

She is a darling character with hair that’s gently waved, almost like a doll, but there are definitely some thorns to her personality.... She’s very small in stature and is quite self-conscious about it. If somebody tells her that she’s “so little and cute," they’re definitely going to be getting glares from Emma for quite a while.

We’ve posted a detailed profile of Emma on our official site’s roster so you can read up more about her there.

Rika Nagae

Date of Birth: September 28

Hobbies: Making sweets, cooking, piano & guitar, watching television

Skills: Building plastic models, composing, singing

Agency: Aoni Production

Notable roles:

Frame Arms Girl/Baselard

Wataten!: An Angel Flew Down to Me/Hinata Hoshino

Asobi Asobase/Olivia

As you may have noticed, we’ve already posted a video in which Emma introduces herself. Rika Nagae (@rikachimalu) will be performing Emma’s voice for everyone.

Long-time fans of Kotobukiya may recognize the name "Rikachimalu"!

As a voice actress, she also performs the voice of Baselard in the Frame Arms Girl anime.

One of her hobbies is building plastic models, so we plan to have her appear on our YouTube channel in the future to show off what she can do! Definitely look forward to that!

Emma will be appearing in voice dramas on YouTube, radio dramas on “Onsen,” (the internet radio station) as well as four-panel mangas on Twitter, where we’ll see her and the three first-year students expand their adventures together.

(Contents listed above are only available in Japanese.)

This is how things look if we line-up our existing characters. Emma's height is set at 140cm, even smaller than Madoka (150cm).

If released as a plastic model, she would be about 14 cm, which would be closer in size to Megami Device models than to those of FA Girl. 

Compared to the other three, Emma’s personality seems a bit more colorful and expressive.

Her eyes almost seem to sparkle when she talks about her favorite things, but on those mornings that she doesn’t want to head to school, her face will get all droopy as she grumbles "I don't wanna go!”

Moments like these really show off her character. I’m sure we will see many more amusing moods from her in the future, so we’d love it if you could show her your support!

So that wraps up our introduction of our new, 2nd-year St. Iris Gakuen Girls' High School character, "Emma Koishikawa."

But she’s not the only new character that’s coming! Stay tuned for some other 2nd-year classmates of Emma to make their appearance as well!

Thanks for your support of “Year Two” of SOUSAISHOJOTEIEN!
