Yōhei Azakami has been announced in three voice roles for anime premiering in July 2026, all within a four-day span in May 2026. The first announcement, on May 19, cast him as Prince Clarence in the light anime adaptation of Saved by the Ice Cold Prince's Embrace, directed by Yūsuke Morishita at IMAGICA Infos and Imageworks Studio in collaboration with Stainlab. The next day, he was named as one of two leads in Perfect Addiction, a light anime adaptation of a boys-love manga, produced under the BALLOON label. On May 22, he was cast as Lucas Lebrick in A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even, a traditional television anime adaptation directed by Naoyuki Kuzuya at Studio Comet.
Two of the three projects are light anime, a production format introduced in 2022 by Dai Nippon Printing to reduce costs and production time. The third, A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even, is a standard TV anime with a July premiere on TV Tokyo, BS11, and AT-X, and a preview event at Anime Expo on July 4. All three roles are supporting or co-lead characters, and all three series are scheduled for the same premiere month.
