Takuya Yamanaka is a planner and scenario writer on UN:Me, a soul triage adventure game from developer Historia and publisher Shueisha Games. The game is set for release in 2027 after slipping from its earlier 2026 target, and it appears at Tokyo Game Show 2026 with a playable demo and an interview tied to the show.
Takuya Yamanaka's credit on UN:Me runs alongside the studio that made the Caligula series. Coverage describes him as a planner and scenario writer, with Historia handling planning and development and Shueisha Games publishing. The setup is reported the same way each time: a girl holds four souls, each claiming to be the body's true owner, and the player gathers clues, talks with each soul, and erases souls one by one until one remains.
The release plan moved during coverage. In September 2026 the game was planned for 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and PC via Steam. By September 17, 2026, Shueisha Games said the game had slipped to 2027, with the date to be set later, and tied the delay to motion capture work. A demo appeared at the publisher's Tokyo Game Show 2026 booth in Hall 5, 05-C10, running September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe.
Yumiri Hanamori was cast as the protagonist, voicing all four souls. The team recorded each soul on separate days rather than switching between them in one session, and added motion capture after her performance. An interview tied to the show features general producer Taiichi Kawai, Historia director Shun Sasaki, Yamanaka, and Hanamori, and the team framed the game as built without a fixed genre, aimed at unease rather than fear.

Shueisha Games will release UN:Me, a soul triage adventure for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, in 2027 at an undecided price. The game follows a girl carrying four souls, labeled I through IV, each claiming to be the body's true owner. Players explore her unstable inner world, gather clues, talk with each soul, then erase souls one by one and choose who remains. Historia, the studio behind the Caligula series, handles planning and development. Yumiri Hanamori voices all four souls, a role that led the team to record each soul on separate days rather than switch between them in one session. Producer Taiichi Kawai, planner and scenario writer Takuya Yamanaka, and director Shun Sasaki discussed the project at Tokyo Game Show 2026. The team also pushed the release from an earlier date to 2027 and added motion capture after Hanamori's performance.

Shueisha Games said on September 17, 2026 that the soul triage adventure game UN:Me has slipped from 2026 to 2027, with the release date to be set later. The publisher is showing a demo at its Tokyo Game Show 2026 booth in Hall 5, 05-C10, which runs from September 17 to 21 at Makuhari Messe, and it is the game's first playable exhibit in Japan. Takuya Yamanaka, who worked on the Caligula series, handles planning and scenario, and Historia, which developed Caligula 2, directs and develops. The protagonist is a girl who houses four souls that each claim to own her body. Yumiri Hanamori voices her, keeping one voice across the four personalities. The delay is tied to motion capture work meant to let players read each soul through movement and facial expression during dialogue, with studio footage released alongside the announcement. Shueisha Games also detailed Soul II and Soul IV. A campaign to mark the voice cast runs through September 30, with five signed boards from Hanamori drawn by lottery.
