Akira Ishida has two announced anime roles as of August 2026: Dayir in Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia and Senya Kiryūin in The Ogre's Bride.
Akira Ishida picked up two new anime roles in the span of about a week in late July and early August 2026. The first, announced on July 27, places him in the television adaptation of Kureha's The Ogre's Bride light novel series. He voices Senya Kiryūin, the father of Reiya, a central character. The character appeared in the fourth episode, which aired on Saturday. The series premiered July 4 in Japan and streams on Crunchyroll.
The second role came on August 5, when the staff of Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia revealed that Ishida plays Dayir. That character appears in the anime's sixth episode on Saturday. The Science SARU production is the more recent of the two announcements, and it places Ishida in a supporting role as the series approaches its sixth episode.
Both roles are supporting cast additions rather than leads, and both were announced as the respective series were already airing. The Ogre's Bride had passed its fourth episode, and Jaadugar was heading into its sixth. Ishida's casting in each case was revealed alongside other new cast members, with Inori Minase and Shōya Chiba joining him in Jaadugar and Misato Fukuen joining him in The Ogre's Bride.
