Aniplex’s Fate/Strange Fake TV anime series has revealed a character visual of Tsubaki Kuruoka and Rider. Tsubaki Kuruoka will be voiced by Aoi Yuki. The series will premiere in January 2026.
The Fate/strange Fake was first announced in July 2023, and in December 2024, it released its first episode. It is based on the light novel series written by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Shizuki Morii and is one of the many titles in the Fate franchise. The series started publication in 2015 and has released nine volumes as of November 2025.
Crunchyroll is streaming the series and describe it as:
In a Holy Grail War, Mages (Masters) and their Heroic Spirits (Servants) fight for the control of the Holy Grail—an omnipotent wish-granting device said to fulfill any desire.
Years have passed since the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War in Japan.
Now, signs portend the emergence of a new Holy Grail in the western American city of Snowfield.
Sure enough, Masters and Servants begin to gather…
A missing Servant class…
Impossible Servant summonings…
A nation shrouded in secrecy…
And a city created as a battleground.
In the face of such irregularities, the Holy Grail War is twisted and driven into the depth of madness.
Let the curtain rise on a masquerade of humans and heroes, made to dance upon the stage of a false Holy Grail.
