Obsessed Malaysian otaku have launched a hunt of epic proportions for bikini idol Aya Hirano after it emerged she was in the country briefly for filming; their hysteria has in a day spanned 20 pages and encompassed efforts to check hotels, to analyse her photos and even to track her down using Google Earth, after she unwisely posted pictures from her hotel on her blog.
Their manic efforts have taken on a bizarre sense of farce, as it has emerged that throughout their frantic search Aya Hirano had in fact already returned to Japan, with the result that their hunt was focused on prey already far out of reach.
“i dont mind being prisoned if i could grab her butt/whatever.”
A mere day after news of Aya Hirano’s arrival in Malaysia, and subsequent posing in a veil, like sharks converging on the bloody scent of chum in the water, a horde of otaku descended upon the thread at popular Malaysian forum Lowyat.net, each vowing to hunt down the elusive celebrity for his own dark purposes.
After first being incredulous at the photos of a veiled Aya Hirano and being convinced they were Photoshop work, soon the otaku Aya stalkers managed to enlist the aid of Japanese speakers in confirming that she did indeed write that she was in Malaysia on her official blog.
This ignited a frenzy of speculation as to where she might be going and, most importantly, where she was staying and how she could be accosted.
“Lets guess what angle this is and hotel its from. TONIGHT WE DINE WITH AYA.”
Soon after, search parties were being organised, and observers began the painstaking process of calculating her precise hotel room and floor from a grainy shot taken out of a hotel window with a mobile phone, and it seems unlikely the stalkers will give up until she is sighted safely back in Japan.
“The first one to identify this hotel — WIN”
We even hear of them checking with hotels in a vain attempt to find out if there is anyone staying there under her name; in this they are unsuccessful, speculating that she might be registered under a different name.
Clearly, Aya Hirano’s staff already have to deal with swarms of Japanese otaku, so we must expect they have defensive countermeasures in place.
Here is a condensed version of the discussion which should give you some idea about the the perverse otaku frenzy currently gripping Malaysian stalkers:
“Lets organize a aya hirano seach party right now?”
“japan embassy didn’t pick up the phone”
“Somebody camp outside Nikko (suspected hotel) and give us pics lulz”
“Or atleast find one of her crew members and make him/her talk.”
“i dont mind being prisoned if i could grab her butt/whatever.”
“This is a bloody madness !!”
“Commencing OPERATION AYA at 1700hrs – commander must give phone number to sms XD”
“Johor has their sex party…. we have Hirano-san party!!!”
“Now Im seriously considering ditching my new year eve plans and camping out at nikko.”
“how dare she ikku in malaysia and not notify us fans.”
“If target caught we advertise in 2ch and make those otaku cry.”
“Who is Aya Hirano again?”
“She is your father.”
“You guise better be quick; latest intel says that alot of other Malaysian anime boards are also organizing their own massive manhunt for Aya”
“she is using her HP to take photo. doCoMo N905i. lol. tht is what she use to blog :3”
“we got Google satellite tracking on Aya now!”
“(redacted) is currently running operation “HUNT AYA” in its secret HQ. do join us if interested. FIGHT FOR THE GREATER CAUSE!”
“KLCC where the red circle is. Due the the angle of the towers, if the image is bounced off a building where the red line is, her hotel should be the opposite direction. Ditto for the green line.
Either way, looking at the image, her room is not very high. I’d say 10-15 floors up. So realistically you are looking at hotels around the golden triangle area. I do not think she would be able to see it that close from hotels in Bukit Bintang. My guess would be to call the hotels within the vicinity of Jlnm tun razak, Jln Kia peng, Dang Wangi, and even some of the service apartments in the Jlan Ampang area.”
“do we need /as/funds to bail out whoever got jailed later?”
“i can smell jealousy rage-bait blog posts from miles away that somehow will talk shit bout MY otaku plan to stalk AYA or even kowtow.”
“faster faster , hunt her down and bite her meat !”
It is not really clear just what this pack of maniacal stalkers had planned for her (forcing her to sign Haruhi posters is about the least of the desires evident in the thread), though it looks as if she has escaped their clutches for the moment.
Whatever the case, idols are somewhat inured to such assaults, frequent as they are, though of course obsession of this nature can always have tragic consequences.
You can read the thread, still ongoing, here.
Thanks are due to linkinstreet for tipping me off about this latest act of depraved otaku excess.

Msians need to put aside seriousness, racism, unnecessary pride and enjoy the commotion.
"Talking cock" or exagerrating stuff is part of their culture, and yet they expect everyone, especially foreigners to understand that, getting agitated over being misunderstood. Satire isn't in the malaysian culture too, so that's another bummer.
On a side note: Damn it, I was shopping at Lowyat on the 30th, but I'm pretty sure I didn't miss her 'cause I checked every pretty girl that walked by. =D
Haha, not that's the right way to shop.
And pity I've got classes, if not I would've joined in.
I wonder if trolling ever going to be cliche....
I can believe this. I knew a guy in Malaysia who was obsessive over Tamaki Nami. His sig was "Oh Tamaki Nami-chan, I would wear your skin while rubbing myself erotically." The last I heard, he's an administrator at one of Malaysia's top unis.
Man, what helluva culture -is- that?!
Besides, my uncle's son got robbed when he went to malaysia... he got hit in the head and ended up in a coma for ages and had to relearn how to speak and communicate all over again... the crime rates there are absurd. =/
the day when trolling leads to a band of armed policemen busting down door to discover u have child pornography on ur pc... the jury is NOT gonna be on ur side
wow.good one.i had a visual of the fbi bustin in
Girls gotta love the Batik in our country.
They fit Aya so lovely!
Hope she enjoyed the malaysian food culture too =3
Teh Tarik, satu!
You have successfully marketed your site to Malaysians. Good job!
lol why I don't know about this??
Imma Malaysian too and about that otakus, its kinda stupid..honestly..
I had two assholes SMS me when i was out celebrating New Year's at some party wishing me good luck with the Aya-hunt.
Whoever you are, i KNOW your number and i'll fucking kill you tomorrow.
Latest update. Her blog says she went on the night of the 28th and came back on the morning of the 31st. So, she was actually not in the country anymore when everyone was trying to find her.
Fucking epic rickroll there, Aaya-chan.
aww man.i love you people.you make me lmao all day
I love it! lol
of course, that happens a lot. People hear a rumor about a celeb being in their area, they flip and go searching, and in the meantime their object of search is already out of radar range XD.
To say I'm ahsamed that my fellow Malaysian's to behaved like this. Yes, I'm from Malaysia too.
I was kinda surprised when I read this article, though I myself is an anime, manga & game fan but to behave to this kind of level is way out of any normal fan to do.
But then again.....This is kinda funny to find out that there are some (Malaysian) fans who are willing to go all out just to hunt her down and bite her meat....LULZ. The power of Otaku I see....
I agree, I'm Malaysian too and I'm not even that fucking insane! Seriously, they need to get a life!
I'm very ashamed by this ridiculous behaviour!
As a Malaysian myself, I'm deeply shocked by the behaviour of some people in my country. We're a safe Islamic country with no bombs and whatsoever shit, but it seems I'm ready to accept that we still have these "closet guerrillas" on our streets.
suuuuuure, you don't hate the Jews and apostates for no good reason.
HAH! this shit is hilarious, LOVE IT. I wonder wtf they would've done if they managed to find her.
Aya in a kebaya...
Damn thats a good one...
A kebaya is that green dress she's wearing.
yeah.she looks cute in anything she wears
Interesting.....nobody ever thought of lying in wait at the airport. lol
I live in Malaysia and don't know about this until I read this entry. Amazingly their use google earth to track her down like tracking an escape prisoner in the country.
Luckily she left the country unharmed and in one piece.
this actually makes me proud to be a motherfucking malaysian. i think im gonna cry
Jesus fucking christ, if the USA were THIS motivated they would have captured Saddam 5 years ago, and Osama 3 days after 9-11.
unfortunately Osama and Saddam did have her looks. or else i would have been in on it.
Um... they kinda *did* capture Saddam 5 years ago. It was the winter of '03.
seriously!
lmao best response ever lol
True . . soo true
you, sir, made my day.
ahahahahaha LMAO pwnd..
you sir is a winner!!!
i fucking lol'd at your comment XDDD
You sir, won the entire internet
A winrar is you!
We are not afraid of death, like Singaporeans.
Well I don't think Aya was actually HIDING...but you may be on to something here.
The guy has a valid fucking point though ^_-.
Nice call.
LMAO!!
Epic i love this and it's so true.
So true...
you instantly become my hero
BEST COMMENT EVER
i bow to you
I'm sure late getting this news, being a fan of Japan myself. But of course i agree that we should not take it too serious. Most of the statement they made are exaggerated to attract more people to read it. If they are REAL fan they won't do something that hurt their idol.
wah aya hirano was in malaysia? i wish she came 2 sarawak,kuching ;_;
Searched the thread for the "bite her meat" post, but it's gone. Did that really warrant a removal?
Stop trolling...and enjoy the show of aya...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP1xjDabrpI
Now that is rather unexpected, never knew there are so much fellow Malaysian here in Sankaku.
Anyways, I'm really tempted to say "Who is Aya Hirano again?" but I make a little effort to Google her (After sankaku did promotion on her). So yea, I wonder why I don't know her before this?
Again, Kurogane... we Malaysian not just "Talk cock". We also happened to love "talk crap" ^^ but yea, I don't think we would be THAT aggressive when it comes to doing it.
No shit. But when you were reading that thread, you will notice that SOME are willing to do what they posted. Honestly that thread scared me in a way D:
like me? OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
we all got KIA'ed though LOL XD
ps: met up with shah+luna and steno at kino KEK!
jan ke MALAYsia aja donk AYA HIRANO chan....ke INDONESIA jg dnk(INDONESHIA e ikimasho ne)
Well, they need to make Aya's life interesting or else she's going to be bored and start destroying the whole countries in Malaysia..
How many stalkers does it take to find one Japanese girl in Malaysia?
Not enough.
Second winnest comment in this post.
lol I cant believe she is here too, shit should've joined the hunt instead of eating takoyaki with friends in connaught pasar malam XD. Would be great to have a photograph with her =X
so did anyone find her?
where is she!!!!
hope she is in penang.
SANITYYYYY IS FOR THE WEAK.
eff yeahhhhhhh
If all Muslim girls looked this cute, I might consider converting.
In the end, a clueless auntie, not the fanatically dedicated fanboy, who gets the photo-op with Aya. So, who's gonna look for this auntie hoping to get a bit of intel from her?
I wonder if the otakus would nominate her for Datuk-ship?
hmm.not a bad idea.commence operation:find auntie lol
Meh, Im malaysian myself and I dare to admit I hate the politics of this country. They speak democracy and being multiracial but nearly everyone in the goverment is malay. Noticed that?
And hell no, NEVER convert to muslim in this country, If you do, you'll have to circumcise and be a muslim forever or else you'll be sued by syariah court. For gods sake, they even consume liqour.
I rather get my ass off to Aussie. Srsly, this country sucks for alot of reasons. And btw, Aya looks good in that baju kurung and sarung. Keep it up!! xD
Peace m'asians. I know you wanna get your ass to japan and play PS3. We cant even afford that shiv here.
Also faggot, FYI the PS3 was considered too pricey even in America, and with an electricity usage that cost more than a fridge the moment it's being used, I wonder why people are still not over that overrated piece of crap.
And yes, Malay rule the government where you live. Big deal. If you're so racist about it, then go out to Singapore down north. Not like we would miss you :D
south yo LOL
Stupid faggot. Even jews are circumsised. Get your fact right racist tard
then why not you get your ass to aussie right now!
talking cock like this won't change anything.
or perhaps migrating to japan would be much better since you are an otaku....but don't expect to enroll your children in chinese national type school in japan heh
woops, I meant they cant even drink beer. Lol
Yes they even drink beer and smoke
Malays drinkin beer here can get sued for that ya know >_>
Some people need to stop raging. Artefact only brought this to our attention to generate lulz.
Malaysia truly azn! Yes I am azn myself, Malaysian Malay to be more precise.
Im amused w/ some ppl replying here taking it too seriously.. despising others act.
Man theyre weak against internet trollan.
Y SO SERIUS?
Its understandable that to someone Aya is like Britney of others(in before LOL britney).
But taking it too seriously on trollan act lulz doramu on internet sure make one looks dumb.
We dont need internet police/judge here
Haih..
“Who is Aya Hirano again?”
“She is your father.”
I lolled.
Lol , this post is invaded by many malaysian/Lowyat ppl :p Well im both of them .... There was actualy so many otaku in malaysia , well back to hunting aya from internet.
Lol, if it werent for the headline I would have thought that Aya is a mixed Chinese-Malay girl in those pics XD
Too bad that its someone else who got to take a pic with her. SATAY FTW!!!!!
Hahaha...
You guys really took this seriously, don't ya?
Go Malaysia. Malaysia Boleh.
As a fellow Malaysian (Sabahan to be exact) I LuLz when I read this. Seriously guys y so srs, at this rate we can be the next Japan or something. Well probably not since the whole (SOME) figures being banned and there being no legal anime store and if u do find a anime magazine here like newtype or something most of the pages are removed especially the pin-ups (Y_Y) DAMN U OPRESSIVE TO MALAYSIAN OTAKUS GOVERMENT.
Hi-five, my fellow Sabahan friend~!!
Yea, otakuism will never be any decent here in Malaysia. Take a look at those so-called best AMG magazines in this country called Gempakstarz (Thank God they stopped publishing Starz) and all those "legal" manga, 99% of all the fanservice-ish pics are horribly ruined with MS Paint quality censorships which look like a 9yo kid. Speaking of "legal" anime stores, there's exactly NO SUCH THING as Original Anime DVDs.. All of them are poor MPEG videos being stacked in at least one or two disc with shitty translation subs.. Lol, Train Heartnet from Black Cat is named "Toli" (which means v@gin@).
WHAT THE FU- HIRANO AYA? IN MY COUNTRY?
WHERE THE FUCK WUZ I WHEN IT HAPPENED?!
Watching football maybe?
Anyone who thinks Malaysian otakus are sad... just needs to look at fans of local football. Most of the time I think Malaysian football fans do it for the lulz.
wwohh !!
kawaii !!
that "mak cik"(auntie) so lucky !
Typical barbaric Malaysian behaviour and internet catchphrase-filled look-cool comments
look who's talking
Man, they should have just opened up the Osama hunt to the internet detectives.
Aya looks good in the kebaya though, successful trolling from her posting times.
Artefact, you should come to Singapore and be a journalist for this tabloid paper we have here, The New Paper
It's the same type of news that causes shitstorms
In case you find this offensive, I did find your entry very funny.
Well, there's not as much freedom of speech in SG media rite? What with their "tighter democracy" and authoritarian media system....
All of it by means,Obsessed fanboys/girls are way too scary than creepy....
how more pathetic can my fellow countrymen be? sheesh!
This is embarrassing, these people are pathetic, especially those dudes over at LowYat showing off their huge pile of BootLeg anime.
Yes you suckers out there!(referring to Malaysians) There is no legitimate anime store in the COUNTRY!!!
I've double CHECKED!!!! None! Zero! or maybe you guys will understand "KOSONG!!" and "TIADA".
I agree with you on 'there is no legitimate anime store in the country'
Sup brah.
I believe few comrade can and may be willing to teach you how to obtain original merchandises from internet stores.
Just because theres none in the country does not hinder one to obtain it. Feel free to come back once you have a credit card.
ohhh... baju muslim...!! cool man!
So if any stalker who reads this actually DID manage to get her.... do post!
Bah, that's why I always find our northern neighbours are a little crazy.
Heh, wow, lots of 'debate' going on this post escalated from the search of Aya. Well, not funny at first read but if read with discretion, it's both funny and real.
I think anyone would be hyped if a fav idol/star landed on their country. We just wanted a photo with her. T.T
lmao! I lol'd at that USA comment XD the malasians will not stop till they get what they want eh?
I suddenly have this urge to change my nationality to Singaporean... oh well, let's hope it'll subside soon.
DO IT FAGGOT, and enjoy the tighter authorities. And old news is ancient. You've missed the whole epic discussions.
Why so seriouz??
All the outraged Malaysians coming in claiming this is all a joke, or outraged that a non-Malaysian site would pick it up are really quite amusing.
Where were they when we covered the 2ch otaku madness, I wonder?
Just applying what we learned from anime :P :w
They are in their internet, stalking their Aya :D
Just trying to say those weren't said seriously - it was really a joke, and that we would never do something like this. Its natural for one to defend oneself when wrongly accused..
too bz lurking LULZ!
Just take these people who whinned with a grain of salt. IF you can.
