Taito Ban's most recent announced role is Toki Ninomae in the Fall in Love, You False Angels television anime, scheduled for 2027. He also appears in the July 2026 premiere of Mebius Dust and voices Takamichi Araki in The Ogre's Bride, which is scheduled to premiere in Japan in July 2026.
Taito Ban's three Yomimono entries land within four months of each other in 2026, and each one places him in a different production tier. In May, The Ogre's Bride named him as Takamichi Araki, one of three supporting additions to a light novel adaptation that already has a substantial circulation figure behind it. Two weeks later, Mebius Dust confirmed him among the new cast for an original anime that premiered on July 9.
The most recent story, from September, is the one that moves him onto a main cast line. Fall in Love, You False Angels lists him as Toki Ninomae opposite Nao Ojika as Otogi Katsura, with the reveal promo marking the first time Toki's voice is heard. The production is a MAPPA adaptation of Coco Uzuki's manga for a 2027 television broadcast, with Yasutomo Okamoto directing and Kensuke Ushio on music.
Coverage does not establish how large any of these parts are beyond the labels the announcements gave them. Mebius Dust and The Ogre's Bride both list him as an addition to an existing or expanding roster; Fall in Love, You False Angels names him in the main pair. What the three stories do settle is that he is working across original anime, light novel adaptation, and shojo manga adaptation within the same year, and that the farthest-out commitment on the record is the 2027 title.
