A new Pragmata report making the rounds claims Capcom animators Kenji Irie and Serina Ohara said at CEDEC 2026 that Diana almost ended up with a bob cut because it would’ve been cheaper. As of now, though, the public coverage doesn’t confirm that Irie and Ohara actually said that, so this is one to read carefully, not something to accept as settled fact.
That rumor gets attention because Diana wasn’t thrown together casually. Capcom seems to have built her with a lot of care as Hugh’s childlike android companion. Director Yonghee Cho has pointed to Arale-chan from Dr. Slump, along with small android-like mannerisms, and even an internal all-female “Diana Police” review group that checked whether her movement and voice felt natural instead of drifting into something overly cute.
Her finished long hairstyle also reportedly helped Capcom push the RE Engine’s strand-based hair tech further. Add in the fact that Pragmata had already sold more than 2.5 million copies by July 2026, plus Yoshikazu Shimauchi talking about a sequel and the steady back-and-forth over Diana’s design and fan content, and it’s easy to see why even an unconfirmed story about a haircut is drawing eyes.
If you’ve been following Capcom’s Pragmata closely, this is the kind of update to keep in mind, but with some skepticism.
You can play Pragmata, released on April 17, 2026, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
