A-List Seiyuus seems to have it bad though. But really, one wonders about all these Stalker-Otas.

Are they really so damned hard up for love or what? I mean, look at it this way, they’ve got the moola to purchase multiple identical DVDs for a ticket for a poster, autograph or a handshake session (damn those buggers! I’m always in Japan at the wrong time when there’s no Seiyuu activity to boot!), they can use part of it to goto Shibuya or Shinjuku to get their balls off.

Right now, unlike big-name celebrities, most popular seiyuu on a meager budget can’t afford security detail or bodyguards (unless one’s probably a superstar idol-seiyuu with a big contract) so the most popular ones will have to learn self-defense, how to call for help and understand the business of dodging potential stalkers and personal security procedures (including the technique of erasing EXIF data off their cellphone snapshots before posting their blogs).

One of these days, the identity of Haruna’s stalker might be unraveled at 2ch and could get the taste of his own medicine by angry fans with kendo sticks and bokken.

While I don’t blame her for being upset, I don’t think she should’ve made this whole incident public. I’m pretty sure any celebrity, A-list to C-list, have their fair share of creepy fans that they’ve got to deal with. If he threatened to injure/rape/kill her that would be another story, but this just seems like a publicity stunt.

If the 2channer is the unknown guy, it’s time to start invetigating though. But making this incident known to the whole wide world won’t stop the crazy anyways.

Poor Haruna… I guess things like these happen a lot to the better-looking seiyuu. I agree with Andrew, God help anyone who dares stalk Minorin, or Mizuki Nana, or Tanaka Rie… or any of the more popular seiyuu. Legions of loyal otaku fans (and hopefully the police) will prounce on crazy otaku stalkers XD

So did the unknown man got arrested?
And if the letter was auctioned off, can police track the person who has it? There’s only one letter anyway.

Poor Haruna, I always think she’s one of the prettiest (and brightest) in the seiyuu world.

Tisk tisk. Wonder if that unknown man was the stalker?

Unfortunately I’d imagine a lot of the better-known seiyuu get dirty emails and letters. God help whoever does this to Minorin!
