Now that the first instalment in the trilogy is out of the blocks, it has been revealed that 23-year-old relative nobody and Horipro talent Kinami Haruka has been cast as high school girl and reluctant resistance operative Koizumi Kyoko. One of the saga’s less well-rounded and more annoying sub-characters, Koizumi nevertheless plays a crucial role at certain points in the latter half of the story as well as adding some ditzy comic relief, and was introduced to audiences with a brief unheralded appearance at the end of the first film. Iza has pics here, and on this scant evidence she at least seems to have the character’s gormless hysteria downpat. Kinami’s only other film role so far was as chainsaw fodder in “Seven Rooms”, Adachi Masaki’s contribution to the omnibus film “Zoo”.
