After Konatsu Kato’s streams blew up, the rest of the cast couldn’t resist and jumped on the Silent Hill f streaming train!

The Silent Hill f cast is going full stream mode, starting with lead actress Konatsu Kato, whose chaotic and entertaining gameplay on YouTube brought many fans to the game community. Now, some of the cast announced they’d be streaming too, and we are ready for it!

The beginning of the Silent Hill f streams

Everything started when Konatsu Kato, the lead actress behind Hinako Shimizu, announced she was going to stream Silent Hill f on YouTube. Even though the gameplay is in Japanese, many international fans came to support her and watch her crash out while playing the game. Just like many of us, Kato is not a very good console player.

Her reactions quickly became a meme within the Silent Hill community, boosting the popularity of her YouTube livestreams. At the time of writing, Kato has produced nine streams totaling around 12 million views. This excitement surrounding one of 2025’s biggest horror releases has even inspired other cast members to jump in and play the game alongside fans.

Rinko joins the Silent Hill f streams train

On Nov. 19, Yuuka Iijima announced that she would be streaming Silent Hill f for the first time. The actress behind Rinko has since streamed on Nov. 22 and promised to return to finish the game. Across her livestreams, she has already gathered nearly one million views.

Just like Kato, Iijima is a must-watch if you love this franchise because she is very entertaining and clearly loves this game as much as the rest of us.

Recently, Rinko's English voice actress, Frankie Kevich, gave an interview to esports.gg. If you're interested in learning more about the character and the actress's experiences, be sure to check it out! Frankie also voices Conduit in Apex Legends, Machyua in Fire Emblem, and Cantabile in Arknights.

Shu is coming next!

On Nov. 25, Shu's actor, Natsuki Osaki, also announced what everyone has been asking for. He will be streaming Silent Hill f, entering his cast members' trend. "I've made up my mind. I'll do a gameplay stream of Silent Hill f within this year!" he wrote on X. "I'll let you know as soon as the date is decided."

We will need to wait a bit longer to see Shu on screen, but this trend marks a new beginning that brings the actors closer to fans. It’s genuinely wholesome to see the actors bring out both the best and the worst of their characters in such an engaging way!

Osaki is set to be the third cast member to stream Silent Hill f, leaving only Eri Goda as the last one yet to join the fun. Unfortunately, the actress who portrays Sakuko Igarashi, has not yet joined the Silent Hill f stream train. She hasn't shared any information about it, but it would be amazing to see all four main characters' actors come together to stream and enjoy the game.

That's all for now. Stick around for more streamers news, guides, and updates on esports.gg.
