Fairouz Ai is a Japanese voice actress at Mausu Promotion, best known for roles like Hibiki Sakura in How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? (2019), her breakthrough role.
She's half-Egyptian, half-Japanese—her father is Egyptian and her mother is Japanese. Her name comes from the Lebanese singer Fairuz. She spent part of her elementary years in Cairo before moving back to Japan, where she eventually developed a serious obsession with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure during middle school. That fandom actually shaped her future; she got involved in fan Skype reading sessions, which sparked her interest in voice acting.
Her parents weren't thrilled about the idea at first, so she took a different route initially—graphic design vocational school followed by a year working as a dental assistant. Once she'd saved enough money, she finally enrolled in voice acting training, and the rest followed.
