Shunichi Toki is attached to four anime productions with 2026 and 2027 premiere dates, playing Lewis in The Final-Boss Prince, Kou Keishou in the second cours of Though I Am an Inept Villainess, Faker in Overgeared, and Theodore in The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power.
Shunichi Toki's current slate spans four television anime, three of them announced with cast confirmations over the past five months and one already set for an October 2026 broadcast. The four roles sit in different tiers of each production: Faker in Overgeared and Theodore in The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power are supporting parts revealed alongside other additions, while Lewis in The Final-Boss Prince and Kou Keishou in the second cours of Though I Am an Inept Villainess arrived in the same announcements that fixed January 2027 premiere dates.
Two of the productions share a January 2027 window. The Final-Boss Prince will premiere in January 2027 with a first promotional video, key visual, and new staff, including Naoyuki Kuzuya directing at Studio Lings. The second cours of Though I Am an Inept Villainess, titled The First Royal Outing arc, also premieres in January 2027, with Yuichi Nakamura and Chiaki Kobayashi joining Toki in the new cast and the first cours staff returning. Overgeared is the nearest of the four, set for October 2 at 11:30 p.m. JST on Tokyo MX and BS11, with Toki's Faker named among six new cast members. The Oblivious Saint Can't Contain Her Power has the longest lead time behind it: the July premiere on Tokyo MX, BS11, and AT-X was announced in May, when Toki's Theodore was confirmed alongside Inori Minase as Melissa and the ending theme by Utahime Dream All Stars.
Across the four, Toki is being placed in ensemble additions rather than solo leads, with a mix of fantasy, isekai, and game-world material. No production has named him as a headlining cast member. Each role is tied to a confirmed broadcast platform or date.

Toho announced on Sunday that the second cours of the Though I Am an Inept Villainess anime will premiere in January 2027 under the title The First Royal Outing arc. Three cast members join the new arc: Yuichi Nakamura as Kou Keikou, Reirin's eldest brother; Shunichi Toki as Kou Keishou, her second-eldest brother; and Chiaki Kobayashi as Unran, described as the young leader of a village in the southern territories. A key visual and character visuals were released alongside the news. The arc moves the story to early autumn for the Harvest Festival, held in the southern lands ruled by the Shu clan. With no consort as guardian, Keigetsu continues preparations under pressure, while Reirin supports her and looks forward to her first royal outing. An unforeseen accident interrupts the ritual, Keigetsu's spell runs out of control, and the two swap bodies again. After the swap, Reirin is abducted. The staff returns from the first cours, which premiered on July 12.
