posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
This year's 29th issue of Shueisha's Young Jump magazine is announcing on Thursday that Kenshō Ono will voice the original protagonist of Bandai Namco Entertainment's Tokyo Ghoul Jail PS Vita game.
The magazine describes Rio as trying to find "Jail" to prove his own innocence. Original manga creator Sui Ishida designed the character.
The magazine also includes a still showing Kaneki and Rio side by side. Natsuki Hanae will reprise his role as Ken Kaneki for the game.
Bandai Namco Entertainment previously streamed a teaser promotional video for the game on June 1, revealing that the game will ship this fall.
Bandai Namco Entertainment had revealed the game in January under the title Tokyo Ghoul Masquerader.
The game takes place after the battle of the Aogiri Tree in the 11th ward. Rio works with Kaneki to accomplish a certain goal. Based on dialogues and the relationships built with other characters from the manga series such as Ken Kaneki, Tōka Kirishima, Kōtaro Amon, and Jūzō Suzuya, the game's ending will change.
Ishida's original manga has also inspired the "Tokyo Ghoul Carnaval" smartphone game that is now available for iOS and Android.
