Ai Kakuma plays Eris Boreas Greyrat in Mushoku Tensei III, and Homare Takanashi in the My Stepmother and Stepsisters Aren't Wicked anime. She is slated to appear in an ABEMA pre-season special for Mushoku Tensei III.
Ai Kakuma's recent work centers on two anime roles. In Mushoku Tensei III: Eris Training Arc, she voices Eris Boreas Greyrat, a character central to the season's opening arc. At a June 20 preview event in Tokyo, she appeared on stage with co-star Haruka Tomatsu, who voices Nina Farion. The event introduced new cast members, including Yoko Hikasa as Isolte Cruel, Katsuyuki Konishi as Aubert Corbett, and Mari Yokoo as Reida Reia.
Two days later, ABEMA announced a free daily broadcast of the first two seasons and the OVA, running from June 27 to July 4. That final day also marks the premiere of Mushoku Tensei III, which will simulcast with a two-episode debut. ABEMA will air a pre-season special featuring Kakuma, Tomatsu, and Hikasa, who will discuss highlights of the upcoming season. The special will include footage from the June 20 advance screening event.
Separately, Kakuma joined the cast of the My Stepmother and Stepsisters Aren't Wicked anime, playing Homare Takanashi. The role was announced in September 2026, with the character appearing in the ninth episode. The series debuted July 8 on TV Kanagawa, TV Saitama, and Chiba TV.
