Japanese voice actress affiliated with Mausu Promotion (formerly Raccoon Dog).

Fairouz was born to a Japanese mother and an Egyptian father. She was named after the Lebanese singer, Fairuz. She spent a few years of her elementary education in Cairo before returning to Japan. During her junior high school years, she became familiar with the manga series [JoJo's Bizarre Adventure](https://anilist.co/manga/31517/). Due to her growing interest in the series, she would join Skype reading sessions with other fans. Eventually, she was inspired to pursue a career in voice acting, but her parents initially disapproved of her plans. Instead, she would initially study at a graphic design vocational school before spending a year as a dental assistant. Once she was able to save enough money for tuition, she enrolled in a voice acting training school.

In 2019, she debuted as [Hibiki Sakura](https://anilist.co/character/132856/), the protagonist of the anime series [How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?](https://anilist.co/anime/107226/)

In a Twitter post on 31st December 2024 she announced her indefinite hiatus from voice acting due to health complications surrounding PTSD. On April 1st, she announced she would be returning from hiatus, and that she would be leaving Raccoon Dog for talent agency Mausu Promotion.
