Makoto Furukawa is attached to two 2026 television anime: Victoria of Many Faces, premiering in July 2026 on TV Tokyo, and Aoki Densho Welsh & Shedar, premiering October 2 on Tokyo MX.
Makoto Furukawa's two most recent credits are supporting roles in original and adapted television anime. In Victoria of Many Faces, Furukawa plays Zaharo, one of eight cast members added to the production on May 29, 2026. That grouping brings the total announced voice cast to eleven, alongside previously announced leads Chika Anzai, Shion Wakayama, and Yohei Azakami. The series is directed by Nobukage Kimura at Studio DEEN, with Naohiro Fukushima on series composition and Mina Osawa designing characters, and is scheduled to premiere in July 2026 on TV Tokyo and its affiliates. The source is a light novel by Syuu with illustrations by Nanna Fujimi that began on the Shosetsuka ni Narou website in December 2021; Kadokawa has published three print volumes as of January 2024, with a fourth set for June 25, 2026, and a manga adaptation by Komo Ushino has six compiled volumes. Yen Press publishes both in English.
Furukawa's second credit is Joris in Aoki Densho Welsh & Shedar, the original television anime from French company Ankama. The role was confirmed in the main promotional video, posted to the official website alongside the broadcast date of October 2 on Tokyo MX and the theme song "Bokura no Mirai e" by Hironobu Kageyama and Masami Okui. Yuko Kaida plays Zabel and Risa Kayama plays Bechamel, with Wataru Takagi and Show Hayami also joining the cast.
Across the two productions, Furukawa is working in supporting ensemble roles rather than leads. Both projects are in the promotional phase ahead of their 2026 premieres, one on TV Tokyo in July and the other on Tokyo MX in October.

HoYoverse's preview program for Genshin Impact Ver. 7.2, streamed on October 23, showed gameplay footage of two new characters: Mitiya, voiced by Yusuke Kobayashi, and Valerie, voiced by Makoto Furukawa. The version preview video also featured Noi, voiced by Shinichiro Miki, and appearances by the Seven Archons. The program title for the update appears in two forms across the coverage: one write-up gives it as "When the End Falls," while another renders it as "Tracing the End." The stream broadcast the character footage rather than a standalone trailer, and the images circulating are captures taken from that broadcast. Both new characters were introduced by voice cast announcement and in-motion footage in the same program.
