Fairouz Ai is attached to four anime and game roles announced across 2026. She voices Mao in The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All, which premieres January 8, and she is set to appear in the second Disney Twisted-Wonderland season, a dodgeball sequel, and a fantasy adaptation.
Fairouz Ai's 2026 slate is four roles announced in the space of about four months. The earliest of the five stories places her in Honō no Tōkyūjo: Dodge Danko, the sequel manga adaptation that premiered July 6, where she is one of six new cast members announced alongside the opening theme by Momoiro Clover Z. Two weeks later she joined The World's Strongest Witch as Erimina, the adventurers' guild master known as the Inferno Witch, in a series directed by Jōji Furuta at Bridge and Aisle with an October premiere and Azusa Tachibana as protagonist Rona Hermit.
In August, Disney+ named her as the voice of Yuuka Hirasaka, the protagonist of Episode of Savanaclaw, the second season of Disney Twisted-Wonderland The Animation, which streams in December 2026. The role is a shift for the adaptation: the second season follows a new judo-competent high school student rather than the game's original main character. Takahiro Natori is chief director and series script supervisor, Shin Katagai directs at Yumeta Company and Graphinica, and the composer of the game, Takumi Ozawa, also handles the anime's music.
October brought two more credits on the same day. Aniplex confirmed her as Mao in the anime adaptation of Sumiko Arai's The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All, premiering January 8 with CloverWorks animating and Masashi Ishihama directing. That same day, Level Infinite implemented the LITTLE WITCH TRICK update for Goddess of Victory: Nikke, where she voices the new SSR Nikke Belorta: Pumpkin Witch. The cast is spread across a dodgeball sequel, a light novel adaptation, a Disney streaming series, a CloverWorks television anime, and a game update.
