I was expecting Becky, Bomber Bob, and Little Ninja to be the other three characters, but these new ones seem fun enough. I'm really more interested in the new stages since the original SNES game was a little too short (and the prior Ninja Warriors remake didn't add any).

Dammit, when's April?

Bumping with some translated info from the YT comments (edited to fit space)

>Sayo-chan (Pocky)
A miko who lives at a shrine in a mountain valley far from human habitation. She once punished a group of berserk youkai who kidnapped the 7 Lucky Gods. She is a very kind girl who does not discriminate between humans and youkai, but she shows no mercy toward those with evil hearts.

>Manuke (Rocky)
A shapeshifting tanuki who lives together with his youkai buddies on the mountain behind the shrine. Though buddies with the youkai, he is also Sayo’s best friend, so he came down the mountain to tell Sayo about the troubling change that has come over the forest.

>Ame no Uzume
From Shinto mythology. A young woman of the ancient world. A goddess and founder of shrine maidens, she lends her power to Sayo, who has wandered from the world of the distant future. However, what is Ame no Uzume’s motive for doing so? Being a goddess of dance, violence isn’t her scene, but she summons strong divine power into herself to exorcise evil.

>Ikazuchi
A marten youkai of a war-torn world. Also known as a thunder beast and feared for that dreadful power, she sends hail, kicks up tornadoes, and wails thunder across the skies. But even youkai who control the weather are powerless against Black Mantle, who has appeared in this world, and she is captured and about to be used by the fiends.

>Hotaru Gozen
Modeled after historical samurai Tomoe Gozen. A female warrior of the war-torn world. She easily handles the odachi (claymore) and naginata with unrivaled monstrous strength. However, she fell before the fiendish army overrunning the war-torn world, and lost her life together with her lord. She has returned to the world of the living through Black Mantle’s power, but resurrected as a pawn of the fiendish army.
