The official website for Noragami Aragoto, the second television anime season of the Noragami manga, announced on Monday that Hisako Tojo and Takanori Hoshino will join the cast as Aiha and Kugaha, respectively. The website also revealed designs for the two characters.

Funimation streamed the first season as it aired in Japan last year, and it describes the story:
Yato may just be a minor god now, but he's determined to make it big and he's got a plan. Unfortunately, things just don't seem to be going his way. He doesn't have a single shrine dedicated to him, his partner has just quit, and now he's got to find a new divine weapon. Just when things look bleak, he meets a girl named Hiyori and changes her life forever.
Funimation is releasing the first season's DVD and Blu-ray Disc release in North America on July 7. Kodansha Comics published the fifth manga volume in North America in June.
