Voice actress Hanaiwa Kana, known for her role as Katsuragi Ririya in Gakuen Idolmaster, will release her first photobook on September 11, 2026 (Friday). The book will be available at major retailers including Shosen, Gamers, and Animate.
Born on September 11 in Tochigi Prefecture, Hanaiwa is affiliated with Haikyo. Her notable roles include Katsuragi Ririya in Gakuen Idolmaster, Mita in MiSide, and Sakurai Miyo in Blue Archive.
The photobook was shot in Nagano Prefecture, surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Japanese Alps. Photographer Yasushi Nishimura captures Hanaiwa’s pure, unguarded expressions against a backdrop of white snow, presenting her natural self in a series of candid shots.
