Born in Kanagawa Prefecture and president of the student council. Blood type AB. She is passionate about people but hates losing more than anyone in her local area.

I’m in charge of the role of Sho Kochikashi! I’m also from Kanagawa prefecture, so I’m really glad to get the chance to play her! I want to shout out my passion for the prefecture as Sho Kochikashi. Please look forward to her straightforward and constantly serious attitude!
【Aonaji Kei, played by Sora Tokui】
Born in Chiba and vice president of the student council. O blood type. She is positive and laid-back in her local area. She knows she’s cute. She’s good at biology, but struggles with handling information in classes. Side-scroller action games are her favorite.
■ Comment from Sora Tokui
I’m Sora Tokui, and I’ll be performing as Aonaji Kei! I’m from Chiba prefecture myself, just like Kei-chan! My favorite food from Nagoya is Taiwan Mazesoba!! I’m really happy to be able to participate in so many runs of Yatogame-chan with so many wonderful characters! I’ll do my best to get across the love of Chiba as Kei ♪ Thank you very much!
【Kiina Asaka, played by Reo Kurachi】
Born in Saitama prefecture and in charge of the student council’s finances. Blood type A. She lacks confidence in many things, including her hometown. She has a tendency to speak somewhat viciously. Excels in math and music, but struggles with Japanese as a subject. Music games are her favorite.
■ Comment from Reo Kurachi
My name is Reo Kurachi and I’ll be performing the role of Kiina Asaka. I’m glad to be able to get involved with such a fun series and play Kiina-chan! When talking about Kiina-chan, I think that the words “gap” (lit. disparity; disconnect) and “rap” are essential to mention. Among all of these unique characters, I’ll do my best to show off her uniqueness as well!
【Anime Overview】
『Yatogame-chan Kansatsu Nikki』 Season 4
A high school girl who spends a lot of time with her grandmother and has an unvarnished Nagoya dialect named Monaka Yatogame (voiced by Haruka Tomatsu), a boy from Tokyo named Kaito Jin (voiced by Mitsuhiro Ichiki), a girl from Gifu prefecture who attends the same school as Monaka named Mai Tadakusa (voiced by Yuki Wakai) and finally a girl from Mie prefecture named Yanna Sasatsu (voiced by Mikako Komatsu). Through these four highly distinct characters, this is a comedy where you can experience the dialect, culture and unique traits of Nagoya and the Chuukyo area!
Also, in seasons 2 and 3, Shizuoka prefecture native Lala Shonai (voiced by Yoshino Nanjo), Shiharu Itemae from Osaka prefecture (voiced by Honoka Kuroki), and Kyoto native Nanaho Koshiyasu (voiced by Ayasa Ito) all joined the cast of characters! Starting in the Chuukyo area, the backgrounds of the characters have expanded to include the Kinki region as well.
Finally, in season 4 of Yatogame-chan Kansatsu Nikki, the charm and unique culture of Nagoya city, the Tokai region and other areas will all continue to be conveyed through various “loving insults”.
