Is it le or does that Rider looks quite a bit like Golden Huge Bear ? I mean obviously they're both samurai armor, but I wonder if we're once again going to have a Tametomo situation
Rider has Takeda's crest.

Oh didn't notice that. Shingen would be interesting since he showed up in Zipang, that would be the first time a Gudaguda servant shows up in a non Gudaguda setting right ?
Also looking at the Caster silhouette, does that look like Taigong Wang to anyone else? Maybe it's his fabled Grand Caster level alt

All I get about Chiemon is an art by Torii Kiyomitsu with Otani Hiroji as Kurofune Chiemon.
Chiemon has cuts all throughout his body with one around his neck and has dark gray skin. He is a survivor or "remnant" of the Shimabara Rebellion.
If I recall, technically, I think no one survived the Shimabara Rebellion, aside from one who later betrayed the rebellion.
So, just throwing it out there, maybe Chiemon is a reanimated Amakusa Shirou by Mori Sōiken. Amakusa was beheaded and the one we are familiar with has scars on his body. While Mori Sōiken did appear to die in the Shimabara Rebellion, he does live on, like in Makai Tensho in which he does reanimated Amakusa. Mori Sōiken is mentioned in Amakusa's 1st Interlude and maybe somewhere else, but that is probably just a simple Makai Tenshou reference.
He does have a different VA, so it's unlikely.

Nasu should just buy up the Makai Tensho IP at this point
I would buy this, considering how he’s clearly super mysterious and everything it’s clear Chiemon is likely just a fake name. He doesn’t even have a last name. Amakusa Avenger mode real? Would also kind of, again, work thematically for why he feels so similar to Angra considering Amakusa was always a play on Shirou among other things. Not to mention the connection to Jeanne.

Btw if anyone’s curious the girl is Iori’s fellow adopted sister, she’s traveling with him to make sure he stays out of trouble.

Takao is a real person too
So is Kaya also Musashi's kid or did she and Iori become siblings after Musashi died? Her family name isn't Miyamoto.
Boy I wish her profile was working on the English site.
All VAs from servants we didn't hear speak are hidden though, Archer, Rider, Assassin and Caster. Though I guess Rider is the only one non silhouetted and also that doesnt have a VA.
Yeah that's why Rider is suspicious to me. All the others without VAs listed also have their designs hidden, but Rider shows us their design without saying their VA.

Oh, looking at the deluxe edition stuff, in addition to the Mats book there's also a short story booklet.
Maybe Rider VA is hidden because the guy doesn't have a speaking role in the trailer at all. So it makes sense to keep the VA hidden until Rider spoke a line or two
Maybe it's just a case of Rider is the only one that showed up and didn't speak, while everyone else either showed up and spoke or didn't have a face reveal or spoke.
