The predatory nature of otaku when confronted with their seiyuu prey has once again been brought to the fore by the shameless theft of Nagato seiyuu Chihara Minori’s water bottle, with the gleeful thief proceeding to publically quaff down her liquids and even brazenly post photos of himself doing so online, delighting many in the Malaysian otaku community.
The incident took place at the recent Daicon anime convention, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Chihara Minori, a singer-seiyuu most noted for her role as Nagato, amongst many others, was booked for a singing appearance; this went ahead without issue.
However, no sooner had the main event concluded and she had left the scene, one of her opportunist stalkers spied that she had left a bottle of Evian mineral water unattended, from which she had drunk.
He immediately seized his chance and filched the bottle, in plain sight of all.
With the warped logic of men who have never tasted the flesh of a real woman, this is considered an “indirect kiss” by way of a notional exchange of fluids, which is naturally considered a prize of no small standing when it comes from the lips of none other than Nagato herself.
The online reaction amongst the notorious pack of seiyuu stalkers which makes up the Malaysian otaku community has been to fete the daring bottle snatcher for getting a sup of Minorin’s precious fluids, though some non-Malaysian observers have not been so kind:
We have a guy, who’s even a blogger of some reputation, sneaking up on stage and swiping the Evian mineral water bottle that CM ingested water from, and running off with it gleefully.
It might have been less creepy if he had just kept it, but he proceeded to drink the water, take photos of himself with the straw in his mouth and post the pictures online showing off his brave deed. Where the fuck is your dignity and pride as a human being?
Harsh words indeed, though as anyone who saw the fiasco surrounding Aya Hirano’s fleeting visit to Malaysia can attest, perhaps well deserved.
It seems Minori herself is as yet blissfully unaware of this liquid theft, though with the propensity of such scandalous news to propagate wildly across the Internet, true fans can only hope that she be preserved from the knowledge of just where her fluids ended up.
Thanks to Aoshi for the tip.
The maniacal actions of otaku with respect to the objects of their obsession is sadly an occupational hazard for seiyuu, with all manner of bizarre and vindicative behaviour directed against them. Chihara Minori herself has even been the subject of death threats from her otaku following, so this latest act is at least unlikely to faze her…

There are no such things as "dignity and pride as a human being" on the otaku dictionary, non-Malaysian observer dudes...
*Tenjho Tenge (Aya Natsume)
*The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Yuki Nagato)
*Dragonaut -The Resonance- (Toa)
*Ikki Tousen (Chouhi Ekitoku)
*Minami-ke (Chiaki Minami)
*Wellber no Monogatari: Sisters of Wellber (Rio)
*Ga-rei -Zero- (Kagura Tsuchimiya)
*The Tower of Druaga (Coopa)
Chiaki... I guess I could've done something similar but more sexual.
oh my. That is very pathetic. Where is his sense of decency and his pride.
That guy is creepy and i guess his dignity and pride of a human being is lost in his maniacal obsession.
Low life foreign otakus, its even more degrading to know of such actions carried out by non-japanese individual.
I was wondering when this would show up here, haha^^;
thats why in japan people hate otakus
OV3R 9000!!!!!!!11!!!!1!!11
+1 to this guy. You people need to hop off his dick. He obviously did it for the lulz. Personally, I would have done the same thing and I'm not even an otaku. It's just fucking funny.
Exactly the reaction i've been looking for all this while.
"Lulz-worthy"
+1 for you.
You sir really understand us no less. :D
What other reason could be better than for the lulz?
lol take that Singapura! Malayzians have got moar balls than you! That guy was brave, like Arthas Menethil himself. +1000 points for Slytherin
http://dreamingartemis.smugmug.com/photos/588717569_yMYg8-L.jpg
see his true ID
HOLY SHIT! THAT'S THE GUY?
I know him, he was the guy who harrassed the Mo-Wota in a convention by calling out "Hentai, hentai!"
.....Shiiiit!
From the looks of it, Otakulture is the same in every country that airs anime. Compare that to Amerikka's 'weabooism'.
He looks like a typical otaku, btw. Fat, bespectacled, bowling shirt, huge-arse camera...prolly in his 20s.
Good. Alright then.lets print his face on a wanted poster, and ask people to whack him with water bottle everytime they see him.
i smell jealousy post much included the one who reported it lmao XD
The jealousy level is strong with this news....
Hmm, probably a suburbia-born Malaysian Chinese. The Malays are more Mo-Wota (Morning Musume). And I think the forum he posted in was Lowyat.net forums
I wish them otakus had the same level of enthusiasm on local artistes. The local artistes in Malaysia had to pay people to be their stalkers, lol.
No! Stealing is bad!
Oh you. :D
[http://s800.photobucket.com/albums/yy288/liewwh/?action=view¤t=wattheh.jpg]
Malaysians...
Can't live with them... Can live without them... (latter)
Also, TJ Han (riuva.com) and DarkMirage (darkmirage.com) owns all the little girls here.
I'm starting to wonder how long should I laugh at you srs bzns ppl before I call for a stop. Don't say never.
Way to go trolling, my fellow countrymen. Good job.
By the way, how many of you know who this guy is and his blog? I must pay that ass a visit. He just pisses me off. Such immoral act.
Who actually believes in indirect kiss? I think its pretty stupid to do so. If you want to kiss a person, just go to that person to get her approval first, though in this case, Minori will slap that ass.
LOL u think he did it for the indirect kiss? He just did it for the lulz :P And make ppl's butt hurt :P
So we gorge his eyes and tongue out too. All for the lulz.
And no, I'm not butthurt at the slightest. I don't care if others are.
You were saying "indirect kiss" is a stupid thing to believe so, and yet you are also saying that the said "kiss" done by him was immoral. Too much contradiction Eh?
What the hell is so immoral about drinking from some person's water bottle? o_0?
If it was Arabia, that guy would be executed on a carpet by a headshot
Son...i am disappoint
I would say all nations will certainly produce a handful of such "undesirable" people. It's just whether we know their presence, or not.
Wonder if I could a make fortune by selling tap water and then slap a "Chihara Minori's love potion" label on it?
Seriously, eww. Good job at making the Japanese even more xenophobic when they heard about this crap.
Man Malaysians are that bad? lolooll
some ppl(s) just took is wayy too serious -__-
ROFLMAO Fail
This is really pathetic and not to mention a disgrace to all otakus in Malaysia
Sigh, yet another case in Malaysia...
Malaysia Boleh!
Bon Odori Malaysia is 5 more days away, wonder what will happen then??
So someone nicked a bottle that a famous person left on the table.
If it were you, would you do it??
is this something to be proud of?
Im Malaysian and I can gladly say Im not retarded like him.
One of the best ways to troll the whole of Internets is to make up a disgusting story, and then add 'Malaysia' somewhere in between.
PS: As for Malaysians who hate their own country, good luck with getting a job overseas and a new citizenship lulz.
Otaku's can be weird either Malaysian or not Malaysian.....
pleaze be fair guys.....
To be honest, ever since the article came up on Atalude, i decided it would be lol-worthy to get it posted here.
I certainly wasn't expecting comments from one extreme to another that would villify or venerate the person-in-question. Seeing as he himself had the guts to post HIS PHOTO drinking the water from the straw on otherwise well-known blog Atalude.Net, it would only be a matter of time before the news would've spread here.
We've already courted notoriety one way or another. What he did IN MY OPINION... should never have happened. But it did happen, and he apologized for it. It's also unfair that he get singled out as more than one person sipped from that bottle.
So keep your snide comments to yourselves. If you want to say it's bad, go ahead. But don't use ONE MALAYSIAN as an excuse to bash Malaysians and Malaysia in general.
You knew this was coming. Don't spew shits out to justify your action and then proceeding to defend Malaysia(n) please, because you obviously have no care for the consequences when you openly and audaciously stated that you've given Artefact the pics etc on LYN. That for one, is trolling in itself. As I've said, lol-worthy has to be the most pathetic excuse to act upon anything, especially when you already knew it would be degrading to the image and name of our mother land.
Hypocrites like you make me sick. Or did you felt the need to rectify matters because the fellow Malaysians have started condemning your foolish choice of action?
oh yeah... i did expect some shit happening. But sadly, not on this scale. So much to the point i'm worried.
I gave Artefact no pics whatsoever. So where did you get that information from?
And no one's condemned my actions. By posting the photos online himself, the perpetrator in question has already started the chain reaction.
Sooner or later it would've ended up here. I just somehow accelerated the chain reaction.
Still, I find it funny that Malaysians on the Internet are easily trolled. Post any negative news article, whether faked or otherwise, with 'Malaysia' stamped on it, and here comes the Malaysian keyboard insurgents dragging politics, butthurt rants and whatnot. And to add the mustard gas that made Rowan Atkinson shit his pants dead, 99% are still living in the same shitty country, paying up their taxes for the country they hate, doing absolutely nothing to change the country (like you and me), with no motivation at all to move out of this country and start a new life elsewhere.
winrar
To add on...
Yes, i did it because it would've gotten around and i thought... "Why not be the first?". And at the time i sent that mail to Artefact, i was only thinking of the lulz-worthiness of it.
I'm telling you right now, straightforward, i wasn't expecting such STRONG reactions.
Frankly, i don't know how it turned out to be like this considering others also drank from the bottle. My main concern in sending the mail to Artefact was that IT HAPPENED, not because it was over the bottle. So why did it turn out to be over the bottle?
I did include in the mail an excerpt from my own article which artefact NEVER quoted or used. He quoted straight to the non-Malaysian piece by TJ Han.
Why so serious?
PEOPLE THESE DAYS. HAYS!
I just love how misleading these titles are xD
And still the shit goes on.
I'm out of movie popcorn to enjoy watching these in HD.
Maybe I should've bought more if there's going to be a second season...
Christ...>........<
Woa~!!
i'm also attended the concert...
but i never think to steal the minorin drink bottle...
what i wanna say is... you are so lucky....
O_O fcuk that.
mmm wow...i laughed so much just reading the comments...people these days
Epic Win
lol I'm surprised to remember what this post is all about after reading the comments.water,anyone?
I bet I'll do the same if she comes to Russia.
Malaysians... As usual.

Poor Chihara-sama... I hope she managed to finish it...
Dude...its just a water bottle...free advertising for the seiyuu. Btw, i was there at DAICON,i am a malaysian,and most importantly,I don't drink from bottles of others. He does disgrace himself as a human, but don't group all malaysians are the same...
What a waste, that bottle could've cured aids or cancer or something...
Send this guy to equality to judge his tongue cut off LOL . Also send pictures to Agnes-chan so she can proclaim what otaku really means. Then try to convince her for the freedom of bottle lol
Am I the only one to think that's a pretty normal thing for an otaku to do? I would simply put the bottle into private Minorin shrine instead of drinking from it though.
Also there's no difference Malaysian or not. There are otaku all over the world, and many (if not the most) of them are retarded.
Geez. Malaysia boleh, huh? -facepalm-
Though I'm not proud of this at all... This guy has some serious balls. o____o
The fuck is wrong with people.....
Drinking mineral water is srs bu$$!ne$$.
i think i saw this guy once though. i was at a meet and greet session with a local Malaysian mangaka, and lots of people lining up to get her autograph or take her pic. all of a sudden he came up the front desk and started snapping with that HUGE camera of his. what disturbed me was not the fact he cut the queue (while we patiently waited) but the fact that he was snapping dozens of pictures WAAY TO CLOSE, as in right under her noses.
that guy, his camera, his face...looks just like him.
either that or all chinese looks the same to me. hahah!
Blaming on malaysian, that a lot of crap!! just one person make that kind of action make a hole country a bad name,you guy should look at the big picture here, for example here, many indonesian,filipines,bagladesh and much more come to malaysian, at first they come just to find a work ,but!!!many of them make a lot of crime here, like Indonesian, they always rob & steal here! almost every month you will hear this case!!
Obtaining the bottle is as if
Chihara Minori's lips kiss can cure cancer
Though the person in question didn't get to get the so-called indirect kiss :P Someone managed to take the first sip before him :P
indonesians = robbers,rapist etc etc
if you dislike malaysia that much, then stop coming here you stupid b-tards! hypocrite fktards.
troll'd
Yeah, great, defending yourself whilst attacking other country, what are you doing ?? denials by changing to other topics ? dont forget that malaysians are robbers and rapist too in our country too you retards
I humbly apologise for the lack of rationality and intelligence shown by my countrymen. While there are certainly rational and intelligent Malaysians, they are hard to come by thanks to the brainwashing by our government - such behaviour can even be seen in our politicians and country leaders themselves. That, and humans are stupid in general, of course.
I am thoroughly shamed and apologise yet again for their behaviour.
Sincerely,
a Malaysian
This guy wins
two words =
dumbass bloggers.
get a life! or a real girlfriend!
Wow, you guys seriously need to chill. It was just a freaking water bottle. It's not like he actually did (or even attempt to do) something to her.
I saw it in front of my eyes and others did. We are just so shock and shouts ring out all over the place. The point of him taking the bottle to show around is a stunt at first. But later i heard that he drank from the bottle onces he got out of the concert area... OMG a ( indirect kiss ) some say.
There are 11 hardcore japanese Minori fans there, they only see the guy running away but don't what happen.
If this news reach minori manager , i wonder how is the backlash !!
And also not all malaysians are to be blame for this.
It is just this guy ,..
Saying its racist that he drank from a bottle that belong to Chihara Minori who was so kind enough to come to Malaysia.
You think your country has it bad on Sankuku Complex which news from your country being posted 2% of the time saying that it was Racist when the source comes from a Blogger why don't you say that to the Blogger?
MALAYSIA BOLEH!
That is all.
Indirect kiss is such total bullshit, I allways wonder what they are thinking every time I see some loser on anime get all exited over something so pathetic.
Still over this shit?
I'm tired to laugh already and you are still trying to make me laugh?
Not only me, though.

Guess what, I think I found the bastard's site. Here it is:
http://www.atalude.net/2009/07/13/daicon-the-minori-ty-report/
For those who don't know his site, this is the ass hole's site who caused all Malaysians to be embarrassed, thanks to his F*** up action!
Dnt say anthing bad abou malaysian ;(
At least it was just stolen and not drugged, I guess. Next thing ya know, she's half-awake in some creep's bed with butterfly wings taped to her like what's-her-face in Great Teacher Onizuka.
whoa, that Malaysian really is creepy.
tuh malaysia satu bener2 nakutin gwa.
Mlalaysia.... truly (not)Asia, I Think?
just go back to your slums Indonesian
this will be my 1st time as a malaysian to proudly say this
" THIS, IS, MALAYSIAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!! "
THIS IS MARESHIA!!!!
kore wa MERESHIA DA!!!!!!
All of you are just jealous that you don't get the chance or are just butthurt that Setsuna got the balls to actually pull off this stunt.
From your Southern Otaku brothers, we salute you, Setsuna, brave Malaysian Otaku/ soon-to-be martyr. You got some serious cajones.
IMMA CHARGIN MA' LAYSIA
cajones = drawers
cojones = balls
I'm already embarrassed to be Malaysian.
This only adds more wood to the fire...
Go apply another country's passport
Haha you guys are overreacting la~ Water bottle (with some leftover water inside) only. Indirect kiss is overrated >_<
That's where you're wrong sir, this means that Minorin is no longer fit for marriage! Imagine the consequences of that!
