After publicly mocking K-ON! and defacing one of its cast, Yamakan has been the target of otaku death threats.
After plucking the head off of Ui, 2ch’s legion of creepy K-ON! fans was in uproar, with one fan going so far as to threaten the Haruhi producer with death: “I’ll cut off Yamakan’s head to punish him for the grievous crime of insulting K-ON!”
He was subsequently reported to police and faces probable arrest unless savvy enough to have employed an anonymous proxy.
As if this fracas were not enough, at the same event Yamakan apparently also went on to insult seiyuu Kana Hanazawa upon seeing her video, saying “her face is huge” amongst other unfriendly remarks.
With the atmosphere at the event thickening fast he then proceeded to tangle with the CEO of Good Smile Company, who light-heartedly remarked “that was an amusing teen movie” – Yamakan ignored him completely and then left the event.
Many have remarked that it appears Yamakan’s real talent is not for anime direction but instead for annoying people.

Oh, otaku could never hurt anyone...
K-ON FAGS SURE ARE MAD AND BUTTHURT
I am wondering if Mr. Yamakan can put his money where his mouth is and produce something better than K-On, rather than just aimlessly insulting people. Maybe he has in fact lost the plot.
Japanese otaku are getting more retarded everyday.
coming from a guy who looks like he gets hit frequently by a shovel.. heh
That's a clear death threat... trace 'em, jail or fine 'em, and put those retarded manchildren in their place. This over the over the top otaku fanaticism has to stop before someone really DOES murder someone in an "honor killing" for besmirching some 2D character merchandise's image.
Get it together, guys, you're threatening to murder someone for popping apart a modular toy disrespectfully. Grow the fuck up.
To be honest, I think the man could have probably known that making such rude insults might result in death threats. It seems like a likely reaction after seeing what otaku are otherwise up to. I'm not trying to justify what the K-On! otaku are doing though.
Burn his house, beat his mother!!
I sense Hazama coming.
Hoh~
I guess he's still butthurt from getting fired...
As previously noted by some above, Yamakan is obviously trolling the more sensitive seiyuu stalkers on his "insult" on Hanazawa.
Why would he bother to burn bridges with a seiyuu who has a close working relationship with him, having appeared in both series he has directed (Kannagi and Black Rock Shooter)? Especially if he wants to prove to Kyo-Ani that sacking him was a wrong decision, he would do best to build up more relationships with people in the industry, not alienate himself from it.
Not trying to defend Yamakan, as some of his bitterness with Kyo-Ani does sound like sour grapes, but criticism where criticism's due folks.
For the record, I absolutely adore Kana-chan's cute voice. She's the reason I even bothered to have a look at BRS. And no, personally I hardly find that comment an "insult".
It's hard to take something like this as a simple 'troll' when he does this kind crap so often. He not only criticizes other directors and creators in the industry, but he also attacks all different types of fans and otaku. His latest targets have been fans of high quality animation in anime (from an interview published online just days after his incident took place).
I wouldn't mind so much if he could actually back up all his criticism of others with his own work, but he simply hasn't. His best work was with kyoani and he has yet to prove he can be consistently successful without them (Kannagi being his only hit so far, but even it was a relatively modest one compared to anything he did at kyoani).
Really, he just needs to keep his thoughts to himself and prove that he is as skilled as he seems to think he is. Then he can feel free to say whatever he wants.
Black Rock Shooter I remember Artafact mention in 2ch some Otaku posted on 2ch saying it was rubbish when it first came out.I didn't really have an issue with this anime it wasn't the best animation but I enjoy watching it.
After what he has done disrespecting people I am going to watch an Episode of K-On!! because I never watched the show I might as well watch if I like it or not.
Pathetic butthurt otakus...sigh
K-ON is a crappy moe blob anime and so is The Bitchiness of Haruhi. I'LL rape and make a slave out of those whores.
You better get used to the feel of violating your right hand, then.
*Removes figurine 's head* Problem,disgusting nerds ?
He's just jealous 'cause he's not moe.
This man is trolling on a level I can scarcely comprehend
don't worry kana,i love your face.
(and other thing)
Seriously, K-ON fandom is made purely of retards...
Please don't think that all K-ON fans are like that
Pretty much...
Love the anime, hate the fan(atics)...
That said, K-ON! makes my work days more shorter and less stressful...A concentrated dose of MOE~ that beats any coffee or energy drink...
If you're gonna hate anybody it might as well be the trolls who have been mindlessly hating on K-ON! for longer than it took Kyon to figure out how to get out of E8.
Like I said before nerds are fuckin scary.
Haruhi vs K-on
Die Yamakan, Die!!
Beheading a Nendoroid with his bare hands is child's play. I would have given him more credit if he'd been able to pull the head off a PVC figurine.
So, is it ok if I pluck off your head with my bare hand?
dolls are not real people....... you know this right?
Silly Anonymous, you can't do that. You don't even exist.

Dun dun dunnnnn
Yamakan to random otaku: I am.... your faer
Random K-on otaku: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo
Yamakan: Search your heart, you know moe is not true...
wow it's fine if he hates K-On! but to insult a seiyu who is just doing her job? that's just pathetic, it's as if he was handsome at all. people like these make me sick.
He does this all the time, he is a master troll of sorts. It doesn't take much to poke a reaction out of 2ch. It was rather stupid of him to take shots at Hanazawa though, burning bridges with a seiyuu that hes worked with in the past that really didn't deserve it is beyond me. But like i said this guy is a dick who does this stuff all the time to provoke reactions, and the retard trolls at 2ch fell for it...what a suprise.
and they bitch at us when we baw over onemanga being closed. fuck you japan. fuck you. were not that psychotic. i hope.

I would like to praise the one who said this XD.
This is so childish and pathetic...
Beheading some random nendoroid doesn't mean a thing.
Publicly insulting people is on the other hand made
him really miserable. That Yamakan guy and all those
"injured" fans. Both sides are disgusting.
as if they could understand what it feels like being otaku, all that matters to these old fart is their money, and where do they get them? from anime itself.
rofl her face is huge...this guy is a big ass troll
Yea I knew it was coming, now some more stuff is going to happen bcuz of it. I hope nothing dangerous or death but other hate and threats. What he did was uncalled for and he's being a douche.
Wow. How unbelievably stupid.
That's So Scary.. Ughhhhhh
The otakus are too much, get a life assholes.
Is K-ON! really this great? I guess I'll put it on my to watch list...
what next?
otaku terrorist ...?
oh
wait
that seems so dejavu ...
Otaku take anime too seriously
i hope he get's assraped by some gay angry otaku.
k-on is for ronery losers
Yamakan is a master troll.
otakus sending death threads = LOL :)
Just the title of this made me laugh, that's hardcore.
All these people playing the new game "Rage Plus" -- I wish I could get a percentage, but they've all pirated the 'game'. :-)
Yamakan again? sigh...
>>grabs a phone and calls a Hitman<>grabs ak-47 and heads outwith a grin on his face.<<
He got what he deserved.
You don't pick a fight with our 2D waifus.
Baka! You do think the guy cares you uninteresting opinion when he has more thing to do in the live rather than reading 2chan creepy otakus?
Baka! Do you think the guy cares you uninteresting opinion when he has more thing to do in the live rather than reading 2chan creepy otakus?
Yamakan is an otaku himself so he knew what to expect. The difference is he's not loosing sleep over it like those he angered.
2ch's just creepy. But I guess if the man is just overall unfriendly...
"Many have remarked that it appears Yamakan’s real talent is not for anime direction but instead for annoying people"
so he is a troll!
I'd like to see them leave their house first.
2CH Otakus are only putting a fucking bad light to all the others.
Damn faggots.
Is everyone on 2ch such an Psycho?
I mean its only a figure and no real damage was done.
Go ahead 2Ch give me more to laugh.
Damn Psychos.
whats to worry about? those fat ugly geeks will never leave there parents house room anyway olololololol
Troll vs Trolls.. Amusing.
Also Yamakan.., little that you know that you have dug your own grave by insulting Closet Yandere Sister and Anri The Slasher..
I just have to chuckle at him trying to pull Good Smile's CEO into it and the guy just basically saying, "Oh no you don't, you dug that hole, I'm not getting in there with you."
Indeed!
i loled hard at this post.
Yamakan you have gone to far and you need to stop before fans of K-On! in the future will boycott your movies and TV shows you produce.
I understand how frustrated you are focus on your real intentions in making a good story for a TV that would sell.
INB4 butthurt anons saying this is what 2ch gets for the one manga shitstorm *rollseyes*
Needs MOAR HANAZAWA KANA!1!!!!!1111!
Trollin, trollin, trollin on 2ch!
Like any one of them would be able to leave their house, let alone Nice Boat him. Sorry but 2ch disease doesn't affect men, jusk ask Anno.
a real life troll, one of the rare breeds. it'd be a shame to kill such a rare breed. in fact, it might be against the law
Haha, go go Yamakan! I think I finally found my hero~
Yamakan is not just a random troll. Trolls often troll for no reason, like posting on 4chan for the heck of it.
But Yamakan really aims to annoy people, that's my hunch. I've read interviews of him, and there, you can clearly see that he's somewhat a misantrope. Examples include that he despises otaku, and that otaku are annoying, as he would know, because he used to be one.
I agree, he just likes to start crap and irritate people. In fact, right after this whole figure decapitation thing happened, an interview with him was published online in which he attacked fans of sakuga (key animation) anime. He just doesn't know when to stop.
I think I could bet my ass in a prison and keep it virgin in saying that as he arrives at his home, the first thing he does is one of the following:
A: Troll 2ch further by adding dry wood and gasoline to the fire.
B: Making a fuss by "agreeing" with whoever said he'd behead him.
I think this is just a stunt for publicity. I doubt he's any different from celebrities or politicians.
Rofl, I approve of this troll so badly. HAY GUISE! HOW DID YOU LIKE ENDLESS EIGHT? LOLOLOL. I still find it hilarious that people still bought the DVD that contained only Endless Eight episodes, a good portion of them most likely 2ch. See, this is why I'm proud to be pirating your country's products, I don't become a hypocrite.
Again, he was only involved with the first season of Haruhi.
Really? Well, I guess that loses some points for him, but all is well the moment he plucked that doll's head and insulted the show.
Hmmmm... I agree. Reminds me when a friend of mine shot a PSP with a BB gun over the battery being dead and useless.
I'd have to agree with you there. I couldn't really give a shit what he does. Here's a wake up call to all the fuckers at 2ch. ITS JUST A FUCKING DOLL!. I hate trolls but this one I can happily take pleasure in because of what he's done to the fake shit. But insulting the actual person is kind of an ass move though.
id be realy pissed if the figure was rare, and limited production, and this jackass got his hands on one, broke it while i was unable to get one.
i always hate it when people break shit that is perfectly good and in working order. give it to me, or someone less fortunate.
Fun fact, he didn't break anything. You can "behead" the figure and reattach the head (or some other head) as often as you want.
The guy was trolling and 2ch fell for it. Astonishing, considering how many trolls dwell there. They should know better. ^_^
It was more so of the comment he said while doing the dastardly act. Or was it the "HOW DARE HE LAY HIS FILTHY HANDS ON MY UI FIGURE"? I wouldn't know, I don't share those collector feelings.
So he's the alpha troll now?
Sure is.
Unforgivable. I hope he die.
>> Insult K-ON!
ಠ_ಠ
>> Insult Kana!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
+UCK
Yamakan is indeed annoying. He needs to lock himself in his room for a month and choreograph more anime dances.
Only then will he be redeemed.
jealous of how successful kyo ani is with him?
lolhemad?
without*
I just love J-dramas!!
Ui-chan akbar?
Ouch! Ze Drama Unfolds™!
he is a disciple of the card crusher!
Hah, I find it funny... People actually report others to the authorities because of Anonymous threats, if it worked like that on 4chan I'd pity the police.
Don't worry, he'll be fine unless he makes a joke about Muhammad.
Well, Muhammad's guys did behead a guy tv though not for ridiculing Muhammad and Yamakan both ridiculed and beheads Ui on tv.
Especially since they say stuff like this all the fucking time on the chans, or even all boards.
Not like it was an angry remark only made in relation to what he dd you Ui...
2ch = all bark and no bite.
Even if they bite, they still look stupid...
I second that...
That's some K-ON fans hey why don't you pluck the head of a Haruhi Chibi figure in Youtube then it's EVEN no more Fights? But beware of Haruhi Fans!
That would be a mistake. Haruhi is a god, after all; doing that would likely incur her wrath and she would either destroy the universe or remove K-On! from existance at the very least.
No friend, it will only add fuel to this already scorching fire...
I love both shows and I don't want them to rend each others guts just because of someone's stupid behavior...
Yamakan should apologize and stop acting like a child with a bad case of ADHD...
2ch should apologize and stop being a bunch of butthurt faggots...
Yamakan has finally gotten some respect from me after his obvious E8 publicity stunt was obvious. Haruhi at least has some redeemable value. K-on does not.
Are we all sure their death comments aren't just for the joke? I know a some friends does, but I'm not sure about 2ch.
Haruhi and Lucky Star are better than K-ON anyway, so how can anyone be mad at Yamakan?
I was thinking the same thing. I wonder how long before someone makes a Ui bombhammed
We've already had one troll, we don't need a second. Please go away.
@Anonymous 18:42
No, that's called a different opinion.
I'm not saying this because I think K-On! is better than Haruhi. In fact, I prefer Haruhi, but that's my opinion (I'm not commenting on Lucky Star, though).
Learn the difference here in an easy way for you: http://pbskids.org/arthur/games/factsopinions/factsopinions.html
Go Go Yamakan!
He sure got the balls to make fun of K-on, them fans are a bit like muslim extremists when you insult or mock their beliefs.
that's not trolling... it's called telling the truth
Successful troll was successful.
He reached his goal, maybe more than he intended.
I was thinking exactly the same.
Ok then make a customized Yamakan Figure and instead of beheading it how about a little science experiment like these guys doing on a Twilight Figure:

Yamakan is my new hero, watching pissed off otaku is so entertaining.
K-On otaku use rage.
It's not very effective.
