Alice in Borderland gained global recognition after the premiere of Squid Game Season 1. However, several fans noted that Alice in Borderland is better as it features a more compelling story and amazing characters. Now that the third and final season is available to stream, which will conclude Arisu’s story, aren’t you curious to know about the talent bringing the final chapter to life? If so, we unveil every confirmed cast and character in Alice in Borderland Season 3 here, including returning and new cast members.
Alice in Borderland Season 3 Returning Characters
1. Kento Yamazaki as Ryohei Arisu
Alice in Borderland featured Ryohei Arisu as the central figure of the story, so it wouldn’t have made sense for the creators to move forward with Season 3 without our protagonist. Arisu appeared as the intellectual, game-obsessed, and emotionally complex character who won every face-card game by defeating the enemies in the first two seasons.
He survived the comatose situation by playing the psychological games and reunited with the other survivors, including Usagi, at the end of Season 2. Now, Alice in Borderland Season 3 will give him another chance to be the narrative anchor and take him back to the borderlands, where the new games will again test his intellect. And, to add to the anticipation, this time Arisu must be the victor, not for himself but for Usagi.
Kento Yamazaki is a popular Japanese actor recognized for her roles in Kingdom, Golden Kamuy, Death Note, and more. He will play a pivotal role in the Alice in Borderland cast in season 3.
2. Tao Tsuchiya as Yuzuha Usagi
Usagi, the skilled mountain climber, became Arisu’s primary ally in the borderlands. Together, the duo fought every threat and returned to the real world after defeating the Queen of Hearts in season 2. They also got romantically involved while playing the psychological games, and now, we will see the two leading a peaceful post-borderland life until the horrors from their past resurface. As teased by the trailers, and those who have read the manga might know, a scholar fascinated by the afterlife will kidnap Usagi and push Arisu to face the new challenges in the borderlands. Usagi’s return in Alice in Borderland Season 3 will not only advance her character arc, but it’s also pivotal for Arisu’s strategic and emotional development.
Tao Tsuchiya became a fan-favorite actor after appearing as Usagi in the Netflix series Alice in Borderland. However, she has also gained widespread recognition with her portrayals in Ohisama, Suzuki Sensei, My Brother Loves Me Too Much, and more.
3. Ayaka Miyoshi as Ann
Despite sustaining severe injuries in the chaotic finale, the skilled forensic expert, Ann, managed to return to the real world. The trailer for Alice in Borderland Season 3 also gave a glimpse of her, so yes, she will be there in the highly anticipated final episodes. Like the previous seasons, Ann will play a crucial alliance role to our main characters, and we will certainly see her emerging as the intellectual backbone of her allies, particularly in the diamond-suited games, as that’s where her expertise lies.
Ayaka Miyoshi is a Japanese model-turned-actor who has appeared in several films and television shows to date. Some of her notable projects include Dance with Me, Angel Heart, Alice in Borderland, and more. She will play a supporting role in the Alice in Borderland Season 3 cast.
4. Hayato Isomura as Sunato Banda
Sunato Banda enters the game in Alice in Borderland Season 2 with his twisted sense of ethics, and he soon becomes one of the series’ antagonistic characters. In the real world, he was convicted of murdering four women, and in the borderlands, he appears as the most cunning player who can do whatever it takes to get what he desires.
Unlike the good guys of the series, he partners with another manipulative player, Oki Yaba, and manipulates the other players to outwit them in the game of Jack of Hearts. He also decides to stay back in the Borderlands even after winning the deadly games in the Season 2 finale. As teased by the trailers for the upcoming seasons, Banda might appear as the game master or a villainous character in the Alice in Borderland Season 3 cast, exploiting the rules of the Borderlands.
The 32-year-old Japanese actor, Hayato Isomura, has blessed the industry with some amazing television series and films. These include Kamen Rider Ghost, Suits Season 2, Tokyo Revengers 2: Bloody Halloween Part 1 and 2, Alice in Borderland, and more.
5. Katsuya Maiguma as Yaba Oki
Like Banda, Yaba Oki was introduced to us in Season 2 during the Jack of Hearts game. His sadistic nature allowed him to grow close to Banda. He was a supporting antagonist since the start, and Season 3 is all set to escalate his development. When the face-card games were cleared and the surviving player rejoiced, as they could finally return to the real world, Banda and Oki opted to stay behind. So, it’s evident that now that the protagonists are about to return to the Borderlands, they will again cross paths with the villains with a twisted sense of ethics.
Katsuya Maiguma captivated the hearts of cinephiles with his performance in Alice in Borderland. However, we want you to know that he has also worked in several watch-worthy television shows and films; these include Love and Other Cults, I Turn, Laughing Policeman, and more.
Alice in Borderland Season 3 New Cast Members
Netflix has announced the new cast for the anticipated final season, but their roles are yet to be discovered, except for one character. Kento Kaku is confirmed to play Ryuji, but for the rest of the characters, we will have to wait for the new season to arrive. Until then, you can check the names of the new cast members in Alice in Borderland Season 3:
6. Kento Kaku as Ryuji Matsuyama
Ryuji Matsuyama is a college professor who is fascinated with near-death experiences. His obsession brings him across Banda, who uses him as a puppet. Banda wanted to make Arisu a permanent resident of the Borderland. So, he asked Ryuji to bring Usagi to the Borderlands to provoke Arisu to follow his beloved wife. Ryuji’s character growth in Alice in Borderland Season 3 is something that no one can ignore, and it’s something to be praised.
7. Kotaro Daigo as Nobu
Nobu is one of the best supporting characters featured in Alice in Borderland Season 3. He is a young man with a timid stature. Before arriving at the Borderlands, unemployment pushed him into depression, and then he also tried to commit suicide. In the Borderlands, Arisu encountered him in the first game, which is the Sacred Fortune. Following the first interaction, he sticks with Arisu in every game and gains confidence under his guidance.
8. Koji Ohkura as Tetsu
Tetsu is a short-tempered individual who serves as a crucial asset to Arisu’s team. He is in his fifties, but age never stops him from participating in games that require physical endurance. In his pre-borderland life, he was an unemployed drug addict who led a rough life that eventually became the reason for his breakup with his love, Yukiko. His skills in treating wounds and that makes him a valuable member of the team. Tetsu starts his journey as a foul-mouthed man, but Borderlands transforms him into a kinder, supportive team player.
9. Hiroyuki Ikeuchi as Kazuya
Kazuya is the muscular man who enters the game in the Sacred Fortune game. He is a bold character whose criminal past gives him a heightened edge. He is someone who uses violence to tackle opponents in the games. He is a reliable teammate who supports Arisu after the latter helps him in the ‘Zombie Hunt’ game.
10. Risa Sudō as Sachiko
Sachiko is a middle-aged housewife who appears for the first time during the Sacred Fortune game. She becomes a close ally to Arisu; she is someone who is seen passing judgment on the characters, such as Tetsu, but on the other hand, she is extremely compassionate towards Arisu and Nobu.
11. Tina Tamashiro as Rei
Rei appears in the Zombie Hunt game for the first time in Alice in Borderland Season 3. Initially, she appears to be a suspicious character, but as the story unfolds, she emerges as a trustworthy teammate. She plays alongside Usagi and consistently proves her worth. The series also reveals that before coming to Borderland, she wanted to pursue a career as an anime artist.
11. Akana Ikeda & Joey Iwanaga as Yuna & Itsuki
Yuna and Itsuki are the brother-sister duo who formed an alliance with Usagi and Ryuji in Alice in Borderland Season 3. Throughout the series, the bond between them plays a significant role. We see them surviving the games altogether and also serving as potent players on Usagi’s team.
