Hana Hishikawa is cast as Minori in the Tensei Elf television anime, which premieres in January 2027, and as Sachiko Konno in the Horror Collector anime, which debuts on NHK on October 10.
Hana Hishikawa's two announced roles place her in productions from the same director, Yuki Inaba, at the same studio, Studio Palette. In the Tensei Elf adaptation of Monsho Sakakibara's light novels, she voices Minori opposite Daiki Yamashita as Liese. The series has a January 2027 premiere and has already begun streaming the first two minutes of its first episode. Inaba directs and handles series scripts. The source novels started on Kakuyomu in 2021, and a manga adaptation runs on Novema and Manga Zegra, with a sixth compiled volume shipped on June 26.
Before that premiere, Hishikawa appears in the Horror Collector anime. She voices Sachiko Konno, one of three supporting cast members added alongside Sae Hiratsuka as Momo and Ryota Osaka as Raita. Yoko Hikasa, Sumire Uesaka, and Yuma Uchida take guest roles across the first three episodes. The show debuts on NHK on October 10, with Crunchyroll streaming it as it airs in Japan. Inaba directs at Studio Palette here as well.
Both projects were revealed in stages, and the two casts arrived through different kinds of announcements. The Tensei Elf production was confirmed with its main cast, staff, and a 2027 premiere in June, then narrowed to a January 2027 window when the two-minute preview was released in September. Horror Collector's additions came days before its NHK debut, filling out the supporting roster around the previously announced leads. In both cases, Hishikawa's role arrived as part of a cast announcement tied to a specific production update.
