Ufotable's Witch on the Holy Night Film Reveals Character Visuals for Aoko, Alice, and Soujyuro

Ufotable unveiled three character visuals for its upcoming Witch on the Holy Night anime film on May 16, 2026. The visuals spotlight the story's central trio Aoko Aozaki, Alice Kuonji, and Soujyuro Sizuki each accompanied by their confirmed voice cast.

The Central Trio

The newly revealed character visuals put a spotlight on each of the film's three leads. Aoko Aozaki, the fiery and proud witch at the heart of the story, will be voiced by Haruka Tomatsu. Alice Kuonji, the quieter, more enigmatic witch who leads a secluded life, is played by Kana Hanazawa. Rounding out the trio is Soujyuro Sizuki, an ordinary boy whose chance encounter with the two witches sets the narrative in motion, voiced by Yusuke Kobayashi.

All three actors are well-established names in the anime industry. Tomatsu is known for roles across dozens of major franchises, Hanazawa is one of the most prolific voice actresses of her generation, and Kobayashi has steadily built a reputation through prominent leading roles in recent years.

A Type-Moon Classic Comes to the Screen

Witch on the Holy Night adapts the visual novel written by Kinoko Nasu and developed by Type-Moon, originally released in Japan on April 12, 2012. The story is set in the late 1980s and follows the convergence of three disparate lives an ordinary boy stumbles into the world of two witches living quietly in the modern era. One carries a gallant pride; the other leads a sleepy, hidden existence. Their meeting reshapes all three of their futures.

The visual novel has long been considered one of Nasu's most refined works, celebrated for its atmospheric storytelling and striking art direction. A film adaptation by Ufotable, the studio behind the Fate franchise and Demon Slayer, has been one of the most anticipated Type-Moon projects for years.

Production Details

Ufotable is handling animation production, continuing its long-standing partnership with Type-Moon and Aniplex. A key visual for the film was previously released in March 2026, and these individual character visuals represent the next phase of the promotional rollout. The film is scheduled for release in 2026, though a specific date has not yet been announced.

The copyright notice on official materials lists Kinoko Nasu, Type-Moon, Aniplex, Notes, and Ufotable as credited parties, confirming the production committee structure behind the project.

What Lies Ahead

With the character visuals now public and a 2026 release window in place, a full trailer and concrete premiere date are the next milestones fans are watching for. The combination of Nasu's source material, Ufotable's visual pedigree, and a strong voice cast positions Witch on the Holy Night as one of the most closely followed anime films of the year.
