Daisuke Ono has been cast in two upcoming anime roles: as Edward Asher in Victoria of Many Faces, which premieres in July 2026, and as Kazami in Are You a Landmine, Chihara-san?, which has been delayed to January 2027.
Daisuke Ono was announced for two new voice roles in the spring and summer of 2026. In late May, he was named as Edward Asher in the Victoria of Many Faces television anime, joining a cast of eleven announced actors. That series is set to premiere in July 2026 on TV Tokyo and its affiliates. One month later, in late June, Ono was added to the cast of Are You a Landmine, Chihara-san? as Kazami. That anime was originally scheduled for 2026 but was delayed to January 2027, where it will air in the Super Animeism Turbo block on MBS, TBS, and 26 affiliated channels.
Both roles are supporting characters in adaptations of existing properties. Victoria of Many Faces adapts a light novel series that began on the Shosetsuka ni Narou website in December 2021, while Are You a Landmine, Chihara-san? adapts a manga that launched on the GANMA! service in June 2021. Ono's casting in the latter was part of a larger announcement that also included a tie-in music project for the lead character, with a digital single due in July 2026. No further roles for Ono have been reported in Yomimono coverage beyond these two projects.
