Kaori Sakamoto is set to perform as the Ice Spirit in the Touken Ranbu ice show Touken Ranbu - ICE BLADE -, which runs October 3-4 at Yoyogi National Gymnasium.
Kaori Sakamoto, an Olympic silver medalist, was cast as the original character Ice Spirit in the first ice show based on the Touken Ranbu franchise. The show, titled Touken Ranbu - ICE BLADE -, was announced in May 2026 with Sakamoto joining top skaters Takahito Mura and Keiji Tanaka, who perform as Touken Danshi alongside voice actors from the game. The event runs October 3-4 at Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo.
In July 2026, Axel Entermedia revealed the key visual for the ice show. The story involves a five-headed dragon attacking a honmaru and the awakening of the Ice Spirit. Ticket sales began July 3. Sakamoto's role as the Ice Spirit places her at the center of the show's original narrative, merging competitive figure skating talent with the established Touken Ranbu voice cast in a hybrid performance format.
