Jojo is one of Japan’s most well-known series, but with the anime produced by David Productions in 2012, Hirohiko Araki’s series embarked on a new youth that has resulted in its being seen on screens worldwide. Now the phenomenon is no longer Japanese, known everywhere with Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.
Unsurprisingly, Season 6 has snagged Netflix. The streaming giant has focused heavily on adapting Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, where we see Ai Fairouz voice the protagonist Jolyne Kujo. And it’s the voice actress who gives some details about this work.
In an interview, Ai Fairouz starts talking about himself. As is immediately evident from the surname, the voice actress has a Japanese mother but an Egyptian father and therefore spent some time in Egypt as a child, a place that gained much more meaning for her after reading the third part of Jojo, Stardust Crusaders . His first encounter with the series was in high school when he crossed the Ora Ora Ora and Muda Muda Muda on the internet. She was immediately impressed by the illustrations, so she went to the bookstore and found Volumes 1 through 5 of Stone Ocean and bought the first one. It was his first volume of Jojo and in a short time he bought all five available. Ai Fairouz was immediately fascinated with heroin like it had never been seen before and decided to start the series over, starting with Phantom Blood.
From this arose the desire to try himself as a voice actor and to attend a school for voice actors. After so much work and time It was time for the casting of Jolyne Kujo, but at the audition she was incredibly nervous, tripping and eating words. However, she managed to make it to the final audition where she was selected. So he got the chance to play the role of his dreams in Jojo: Stone Ocean, which led her to increase her passion and love for the series even more.
It was already known that Ai Fairouz was very attached to Jojo and Jolyne in particular, but with this interview it becomes clear how it was the character of Araki that gave her the push she needed to break into the anime industry.
