Kazuyuki Okitsu has three anime roles set for the fall and winter of 2026: the lead in Ojisan wa Kawaii Mono ga Osuki., Momo's father in the new Fairy Princess Minky Momo OVA, and Asuma in Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden.
Three separate productions list Kazuyuki Okitsu in their casts, and the roles run from a lead to supporting parts. The earliest of the three announcements, in June 2026, put him at the top of the cast for the television anime of Tsutomu's manga Ojisan wa Kawaii Mono ga Osuki. as Mitsutaka Oji, with Tomoe Makino directing at LIDEN FILMS and an October premiere set.
Two months later, the official website for the new Fairy Princess Minky Momo OVA named him as Momo's father, alongside Show Hayami as the King of Diginarsa, Kikuko Inoue as the Queen, and Mie Sonozaki as her mother. The OVA opens in Japanese theaters on November 13.
The Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden adaptation followed in September, with Okitsu cast as Asuma among four new additions that also include Koichi Sakaguchi, Junichi Suwabe, and Maaya Uchida. Motoki Nakanishi directs at KONAMI animation, the series runs for two consecutive cours, and it premieres October 6 on Tokyo MX, with BS NTV and MBS to follow and streaming on ABEMA, d Anime Store, U-NEXT, and HIDIVE. An advance screening of the first three episodes is set for September 22 at the esports TOKYO BAY studio.
What the three stories settle is a workload split between a leading part and smaller family or ensemble roles, all attached to productions with announced dates. No further Okitsu casting has been reported in these stories.
