Yuuka Iijima, the actress responsible for bringing the character Rinko Nishida to life in Silent Hill f, has announced that she will soon face the horrors of the game herself via a public livestream. Following the massive attention surrounding fellow cast members playing the title, Iijima has set up a dedicated YouTube channel appropriately titled “I’m Yuka Iijima” to share her experience. Her journey into the fog is scheduled to begin with a broadcast on Saturday, November 22, at 9 pm JST (12 pm UTC), allowing fans to witness her authentic reactions to the terrifying narrative she helped create.

Engaging with a Global Audience

This decision places Iijima in the center of a growing trend among the Silent Hill f cast and crew. The game’s community has recently been captivated by the viral gameplay streams of Konatsu Kato, who plays the protagonist Hinako, as well as teases from the game’s writer, Ryukishi07, about his own team’s playthrough. Iijima’s entry into the streaming space is highly anticipated, as fans are eager to see if her reactions to the game’s psychological horror elements—specifically her in-game encounters with Kato’s character—will mirror the terrified and memorable reactions Kato had when encountering Rinko.

Fan Engagement on Her YouTube Channel

To prepare for the event, Iijima has already begun engaging with the fanbase by posting a short introduction video on her new channel. Notably, this video includes English subtitles, signaling a welcoming approach to the franchise’s international audience who may not be fluent in Japanese. While it remains unclear how experienced Iijima is with the horror genre or gaming in general, her willingness to broadcast her first playthrough adds a layer of excitement for fans enjoying the game on PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X|S.
