Ikezawa Haruna, who voices Yoshino in Marimite and Momoka in Keroro Gunsou, took the unusual step of publicly issuing a warning for a guy (who’s been harassing her on the internet for some time) after being informed of more rubbish being written about her on 2channel.
The rage-filled message on her site is TL;DR but basically mentions that she has reported said stalker to the police and goes on to describe some of the weird stuff the guy has done, such as him claiming that he is in a relationship with Haruna, with a love message addressed to him by Haruna as proof (apparently, it was actually an ‘official’ item auctioned off by her agency Oscar Promotion for charity 5-6 years ago). Mr. Stalker also says that he can read the hidden messages written especially for him in her blog posts (deluded fool), and has also purportedly posted a bunch of odd messages on 2channel such as ‘Love. Destiny. Fated bonds. This ain’t a joke lol. The coincidental meetings number way too much… I’ll talk about that later’.
Ikezawa seems really pissed off by the guy, rambling on and on about how she wants to cut ties with the stalker. She relates that he keeps sending her insanely long, ridiculous emails (which she doesn’t bother to reply to) and mentions that a phrase that he often repeats ‘Haruna is crying because of love’ probably refers to a previous incident where an unknown man jumped out and virtually attacked her in the middle of the street at night, making her cry. Ikezawa says that she isn’t crying because of love, she’s crying because she’s scared to death.
Um yeah, otaku stalkers are freaky. Ikezawa doesn’t seem to be taking this lying down, which is a good thing I guess… wonder which other seiyuu might be suffering from similar stalker-ish activity?
And as usual, when weird otaku do weird stuff to seiyuu, it appears in the mainstream press:
