Fairouz Ai has been cast as Erimina in The World's Strongest Witch anime, which premieres in October, and as a dodgeball team member in Honō no Tōkyūjo: Dodge Danko, which debuts on July 6.
Fairouz Ai has two upcoming anime roles confirmed in mid-2026. In June, the cast for Honō no Tōkyūjo: Dodge Danko was announced, with Ai playing a member of the dodgeball team led by protagonist Danko. That series, a sequel to a 1990s franchise, premieres on July 6.
Later in the same month, Ai was revealed as Erimina, the master of the adventurers' guild known as the "Inferno Witch," in the television anime adaptation of Mochimaru Sakaki's The World's Strongest Witch light novel series. The anime is directed by Jōji Furuta at studios Bridge and Aisle and will premiere in October. Azusa Tachibana stars as protagonist Rona Hermit.
The two roles place Ai in supporting parts in distinct genres: a sports-action sequel and a fantasy adventure. Both productions have announced their full main casts and premiere windows, with Dodge Danko arriving first in July and The World's Strongest Witch following in October.
