This page compiles verified information on protagonist Choko, key story figures such as her sister Aya and Granny Peace, the announced Japanese voice cast, and the revealed antagonists Shogun and Gokou.

Protagonist: Choko & Key Figures

Confirmed

The protagonist is listed on the official website as Choko and on Steam as Chigusa Choko. At age 19, she debuted as a stunt actress and came to Neo Yokohama (formerly Hollywood) with her sister Aya to audition for a new action film, dreaming of becoming a movie star.

Upon arrival, Choko was attacked and buried by mysterious men in black while her sister disappeared. Returning from death after an unspecified period, she travels with new companions along America's Route 50 in search of Aya, truth, and vengeance. In the Chapter 3 demo slice from gamescom 2026, Choko heads to Mount Neo Yokohama to visit Granny Peace for clues about Aya, only to find the Warriors have arrived ahead of her.

Revealed Bosses: Shogun & Gokou

Confirmed

Developer-republished IGN coverage introduced two distinct boss characters (retaining the names used in that report):

Shogun is shown with a shield, cape, and a black giraffe, whereas Gokou is the Governor of Texas sporting a hybrid cowboy-and-samurai design. The sources confirm they are separate characters and should not be conflated.
