ATLUS Unveils Rise Kujikawa for Persona 4 Revival, Confirms September 27 X VORDER RUNWAY Appearance

Q: With her original English voice actors unlikely to return, who will voice Rise Kujikawa in Persona 4 Revival?

Rise Kujikawa’s English voice actor for *Persona 4 Revival* has not been announced. Atlus has confirmed that *Persona 4 Revival* will use a completely new English voice cast, while the Japanese cast remains in place. For Rise, that means Rie Kugimiya is returning in Japanese, but the English performer is still undisclosed. The uncertainty matters because Rise’s previous English actors are widely seen as unlikely to return. Laura Bailey voiced her in earlier *Persona 4* releases, and Ashly Burch voiced her in *Persona 4: Dancing All Night*. Neither has been confirmed for the remake, and current reporting points instead to a recast. So the direct answer is that no one publicly knows yet who will voice Rise in English. Atlus has announced other new English cast members, including Nazeeh Tarsha as the protagonist, Paul Castro Jr. as Yosuke, Anne Yatco as Chie, Brianna Knickerbocker as Yukiko, and Ari Thrash as Marie, but Rise’s English actor remains unconfirmed.

Q: How will Mika Pikazo's exclusive designs update Rise Kujikawa's look for her live performance this September?

Rise Kujikawa will receive a brand-new, event-exclusive costume by illustrator Mika Pikazo for her September 27, 2026 appearance at X VORDER RUNWAY, but ATLUS and the event organizers have not yet revealed what the redesign actually looks like. What is confirmed is that all performers at the Makuhari Messe fashion-and-music event will wear limited-edition outfits created by Pikazo, and Rise is scheduled to appear in the “True Story -Revival-” segment alongside NIJISANJI’s Sara Hoshikama. That means Rise’s live look will be updated specifically for the runway setting rather than simply reusing her standard Persona 4 Revival design. Beyond that, the available information stops short of describing the costume’s colors, silhouette, accessories, or how closely it will reference Rise’s classic “Risette” idol image. Organizers have said those designs will be unveiled later through newly drawn key visuals by Mika Pikazo. So the practical answer is that Rise’s look is confirmed to be refreshed with a bespoke Pikazo-designed outfit for the event, but the exact visual changes remain under wraps until the official artwork is released.

Rise Kujikawa is the latest Persona 4 Revival character to get a full reveal, with ATLUS confirming Rie Kugimiya voices the idol teammate ahead of the game’s February 18, 2027 launch.
In battle, Rise serves as a rear-line support character rather than a direct attacker, using skills that can expose enemy elemental affinities, inflict random status ailments or nullify incoming damage.
ATLUS said those support abilities expand through both leveling and Social Link progression, tying her combat utility to bond-building with the protagonist.
Rise is also set to appear at X VORDER RUNWAY on September 27, 2026 at Makuhari Messe, where reserved-seat tickets are priced from 11,000 yen to 16,500 yen.
Persona 4 Revival is already open for pre-orders across PS5, Steam, Windows and Xbox platforms, with the standard edition priced at 9,900 yen in Japan.
