Cai is an energetic and earnest boy who loves his family. He and his childhood friends spend their days peacefully living in the quiet town of Libeira, but on the day of his fifteenth birthday, the wheels of fate begin to turn. Cai loves physical activities and catching animals. As a note, “Libeira” is an unofficial translation based on the Japanese name of his hometown. It will probably have a different name in the English version of the game.

In Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, Cai can ride ‌a “flying ostrich,” which will allow him to jump over obstacles to more easily get to enemies with his spear. This will be its own type of unit. You can watch a clip of him in battle here:

Daiki Yamashita will voice Cai in the Japanese version of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. Yamashita’s most prominent roles include Onoda from Yowamushi Pedal, Izuku from My Hero Academia, and Narancia in the David Production adaptation of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo. His English voice actor has not yet been announced.

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave will come out on September 17, 2026 for the Switch 2.
