Jigoku Korin Reveals Two New Hell Characters and AGF2026 Exhibition Plans
The reveal of two more hell characters and a confirmed presence at AGF2026 signals the project is moving toward a broader public rollout beyond its initial concept.
Reporting from 1 source: 4Gamer.net.
The Beppu City Public Enterprise Bureau has unveiled details for Shiraike (voiced by Takeaki Masuyama) and Oniishi Bouzu (voiced by Masaaki Mizunaka), two new characters in the Hell Tour personification IP project Jigoku Korin. The project will also exhibit at Animate Girls Festival 2026 in November, with limited goods planned for sale.
Shiraike is described as a hell with pale, changing boiling water and a tranquil Japanese garden aesthetic, possessing otherworldly beauty and high self-esteem but a ruthless side toward the uncouth, while cherishing tropical fish. Oniishi Bouzu is a hell named for gray hot mud bursting like a bald head; it once disappeared until a modern-era event brought it back, and is characterized as a carefree, friendly free spirit who is also a calculating realist.
The project will exhibit at Animate Girls Festival 2026 on November 7 and 8 at Ikebukuro Sunshine City, one of Japan's largest otome events, with limited goods planned for sale. Remaining character details will be released sequentially, and voice cast comments have been published.
