Game designer Jiro Ishii revealed character illustrations for Aren Ando and Kaiji Kayama, two playable characters in the live-action adventure game Shibuya Scramble Stories. The designs reflect costumes for the main story. Yuto Nakamura and Hironari Amano, both returning from 428: Fuusa Sareta Shibuya de, play the roles. Crowdfunding Part 2 begins September 1.
The illustrations set the visual direction for the live-action production, with Aren Ando styled around a red New Eco T-shirt and Kaiji Kayama in a military-style black blouson with bright blue gloves. Nakamura, who played Aji Endo in 428, addressed fans directly, promising an adult Aren Ando who runs through Shibuya and the courtroom. Amano, who played Shinya Kano, invited passengers to join him in rushing through the city.
Meanwhile, the CAMPFIRE campaign is soliciting reward ideas from supporters through August 19, with Part 2 crowdfunding scheduled to start September 1. The project has raised about 54.75 million yen against a 5 million yen target since its April 2025 launch.
