Yurina Amami is attached to three television anime, with the most recent confirmation placing her in the cast of The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All as Chizuru. She also voices Dr. Radio in Tank Chair and Kyoka Minato in I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class.
Yurina Amami's three announced roles sit across three different productions at different stages. The earliest confirmation came in May 2026, when ASMIK Ace announced that Amami voices Kyoka Minato, a subordinate of Itsuki Maehara, in I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class. That series premiered on Tokyo MX on April 7 and streams on Crunchyroll, with the role announced during its first cour.
In August 2026, Bandai Namco Filmworks revealed that Amami joins the cast of the Tank Chair anime as Dr. Radio, a genius scientist hiding in an abandoned radio tower. The adaptation of Manabu Yashiro's manga premieres on October 4 on Tokyo MX, with Gen Sato also joining as Uzu, a mysterious newcomer to the Academy's Class A. Polygon Pictures animates.
The most recent confirmation came in October 2026, when Aniplex announced that Amami joins the cast of The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All as Chizuru. CloverWorks animates the adaptation of Sumiko Arai's manga, which premieres January 8. The same announcement included Fairouz Ai as Mao and Maiko Nomura as Kanna, and confirmed Kenjiro Tsuda and Tasuku Hatanaka reprising their audio drama roles.
Across the three projects, Amami is credited as a supporting cast addition. None of the announcements describe her characters as leads, and the stories give no details of her prior work, agency, or career history.
