[UPDATE: more information has been revealed about Ikushima, which we’ve added below.]

Falcom have revealed a new playable character for their upcoming RPG dungeon-crawler, Tokyo Xanadu, and provided a few more screenshots from the game.

Sora Ikushima, pictured above fighting Greed, is an earnest, talented freshman at the same academy that Kou Tokisaka and Asuka Hiiragi attend. She is affiliated with the karate club, and has the same traditional karate style as her sensei. Her natural talents at martial arts in tandem with her sincere personality causes friction between her and the senior members of the karate club. In order to become more worldly, she leaves Kyushu to travel to Tokyo, and now lives in an apartment there. She and the protagonist Kou have something in common, so they know each other before the start of the game.

Tokyo Xanadu is being developed for the PS Vita. It will launch some time this year in Japan.
