Three more voice actors have been announced for the anime adaptation of Kōcha Agasawa's manga "Kōri no Jōheki" (English title: "The Ramparts of Ice"). They will play the roles of the classmates of the main character Koyuki Hikawa.
Accordingly, Akari Kito will lend her voice to the character Momoka Kuriki, Kakeru Hatano will voice Yūki Azumi, and Natsumi Kawaida will be heard as Akine Atagawa. The three new characters are teenagers who attend a class one year below the protagonist Koyuki Hikawa, who is called "the Queen" by her classmates due to her distant demeanor.
Momoka Kuriki is a girl who openly expresses her feelings and particularly approaches Minato Amamiya. Yūki Azumi is the one-year-younger brother of Miki Azumi. Visually striking, he approaches others casually and knows how to gauge their moods. He is also a childhood friend of Koyuki. Akine Atagawa, on the other hand, shows hardly any emotion on her face, which can sometimes make her seem intimidating, and for unknown reasons harbors a special interest in Koyuki.
Akari Kito, who voices Momoka Kuriki, commented on the appeal of the series: "It's a wonderful story that captures everyday events and conflicts from school life. You see how the characters live each day with their own thoughts and feelings." For her role, she emphasized portraying Momoka as a confident and strong girl who wears her heart on her sleeve.
Kakeru Hatano, who lends his voice to Yūki Azumi, described the work as "very real, cruel, sweet, and bittersweet." He tries to take a somewhat independent position in the role and not get swept away by the serious mood of the others.
Natsumi Kawaida, who voices Akine Atagawa, highlighted the multi-layered characters as a major plus point: "They overthink things or take detours because they consider others. That's what makes the story so special." In her portrayal, she focused on how the world looks from the perspective of the tall and quiet Akine.
The anime is directed by Mankyū, with animation produced by Studio KAI. The main role of Koyuki Hikawa is voiced by Anna Nagase. The series will premiere on April 2, 2026, on Japanese television on TBS group channels and on AT-X. Internationally, the anime will be streamed on Netflix.
