Yuu Hayashi voices Mikey in the Tokyo Revengers anime. At Anime Expo 2026, he appeared on the series' panel alongside Yuki Shin (Takemichi) and Masaya Fukunishi (Draken), the three in Tokyo Manji Gang jackets. Hayashi said the next season shows a darker Mikey who acts without hesitation. Shin said Takemichi would find true strength in the upcoming season. The panel also promoted that season.

Earlier, on May 19, 2026, Hayashi was announced as the voice of Cyborg 008/Pyunma in Cyborg 009: Nemesis. Ishimori Production had announced the series on May 15, with Yuki Kaji as Joe Shimamura, the main character. The series is directed by Hideki Ambo at studio Arect, with Atsuhiro Tomioka and CHARATEX writing the screenplay and sanorin designing characters. It streams in summer 2026. The theme song is "Taga Tame ni" by Kyoko of Barbee Boys, originally used for the 1979 Cyborg 009 TV series.

The two stories cover separate projects with no overlap in cast beyond Hayashi. His Cyborg 009 announcement came through the series' weekly Nemesis cast reveals; his Tokyo Revengers work continues a role he has held across the series, with the panel framing the next arc around a changed Mikey.
