Rei Sakuma is an active voice actress currently playing Batako in Anpanman and Hamlet in the novel adventure game Schrodinger's Call, which launched on May 28.
Rei Sakuma's recent work spans both a long-running children's series and a newly released game. In Anpanman, she plays Batako, a role that came into focus on July 30 when she shared a script mix-up on X. The script mistakenly assigned Baikinman's name to Batako's dialogue, and during a run-through she read the line in Baikinman's voice. Fans responded with laughter online, turning a simple typo into a moment of humor for the series' audience.
Earlier in the year, Sakuma was featured in the launch trailer for Schrodinger's Call, a novel adventure game released by Shueisha Games on May 28. She voices Hamlet in the game. The release included a 10% discount on Nintendo Switch and Steam through early June, a 74-store bookstore collaboration with five collectible cards, and a 76-track original soundtrack available on Steam. The game marks the commercial debut of Acrobatic Chirimenjako, the three-person team that won the Shueisha Game Creators CAMP GAME BBQ vol.1 grand prize.
Together, the two stories show Sakuma working across different genres and formats, from a long-running animated series to a new interactive title. Her public posts and trailer appearances keep her connected to fans, and the script mix-up became a lighthearted talking point that reinforced her presence in the Anpanman cast.
