Would he like to join Heartslabyul dorm? (No.) He also mentioned the care the game takes to adhere to its Disney origins, saying “…what's interesting about this game is, because it's inspired by Disney, there are areas where there's dialogue from Disney works. Hanae has also voiced many other characters in properties such as Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and was also was the Japanese dubbed voice for Artie (John McCrea) in the live-action Cruella. The panel’s special guest was Natsuki Hanae, the voice actor for the rule-obsessed headwarden to dorm Heartslabyul, Riddle Rosehearts.
