Miyano had the following to say about joining the series, "I never thought that I would be able to appear in Oshi no Ko, so this is a great honor. I hope to cherish the worldview of this series that so many people are looking forward to, while facing my role of the mysterious and enigmatic 'Hikaru Kamiki'."

The final episode of the season also introduced a mysterious white haired girl, and following the premiere Oshi no Ko has confirmed that this new character is named Tsukuyomi, and will be voiced Hina Kino in the future. Kino said the following about joining the series in full for Season 3, "Thank you for watching the last episode! I'm Hina Kino, and I voice Tsukuyomi. Even though I voiced her, it was quite difficult as there were many things I didn't know about her, but I paid attention to the gap between her childlike appearance and the words she uses when voicing her. Oshi no Ko, a series where various elements overlap and blend together to create an increasingly fascinating story. Please look forward to what developments the future holds!"

How Does Oshi no Ko Season 2 End? 

Oshi no Ko Season 2 ends with Ruby discovering the body of Goro following his murder. It's the first time she's confirmed that he had died, and Tsukuyomi tells her that he disappeared around the same time of Ai Hoshino's birth. It's here that Ruby's demeanor shifts completely as the news hits her. Thinking about her brother and why he decided to enter the entertainment industry in the first place, Ruby starts to put two and two together and she seeks out vengeance as well. 

Aqua ends the season no longer desiring revenge for himself, but it's clear that Ruby's desire for him to get that revenge will finally come to fruition. Whenever Aqua discovers that their father is still alive and still killing, it won't be too much longer before it all gets intense once more.
