#2nd Live-Action Kaguya-Sama Film Find Its Miko Iino in Hinatazaka46 Member Yuka Kageyama

The battle of love has found another player to fight in the trenches in Hinatazaka46 member Yuka Kageyama, who will be playing the first-year auditor of the Student Council, Miko Iino, who fans of the franchise met in the second season of the TV anime adaptation of Aka Akasaka‘s manga series KAGUYA-SAMA: LOVE IS WAR in the second Kaguya-sama live-action film.

Manga version of the character

It’s interesting that the second Kaguya-sama live-action film is only now bringing in the character when the first had already used part of her introduction arc as the second half of the first film, but without the character. Kageyama will be joining the cast and crew from the popular first film in the franchise, which brought in 2.24 billion yen (US$20.56 million) at the Japanese box office in its 2019 run.
