The creepiness of seiyuu otaku is reaching legendary lows – after hearing that Aki Toyosaki apparently lives with her boyfriend, one seiyuu fan-cum-stalker decided to confirm it once and for all by sending them recorded delivery letters as a way of getting them to sign for the letters and thus confirm they lived together.
The evidence, in the form of the tracking page, the delivery confirmation and the innocuous card used in the ruse:
His explanation:
I sent recorded delivery letters to the residence thought to belong to Toyosaki and Oshima. They were deliver without issue today.
Additionally, I left off the room number, so the delivery company must have made the delivery based on their names, demonstrating that they had most likely received packages with those names before.
Online they’ve all been saying I should be arrested for doing this – I don’t recall “sending people mail” being a crime?
Their address is already busted and I removed it from my pictures.
[…]
My feelings at this point are a bit complex, but isn’t this a huge victory?
This sort of behaviour is too much even for 2ch:
“Ah, he confirmed it…”
“This is frightening!”
“Seiyuu otaku and doll otaku are seriously creepy – there’s no way I could go along with this.”
“Terrifying…”
“Scary stuff.”
“Anyone not acknowledging them as a couple after seeing this is fleeing reality.”
“Criminals pretending to be detectives, is it?”
“Seiyuu otaku are utterly crazy.”
“I really think it would be better if seiyuu just stopped showing their faces altogether.”
Kyubei sent them a letter to sign.
It may be extremely creepy, but it’s genious nonetheless
I think this is fans reach new low..Don’t force your fantasy to your idol..Just let them have normal life, got boyfriend or married…
It’s not like you will got a chance even she don’t have a boyfriend
Got to admire,this otaku did nothing wrong in term of both moral and legality. He want to confirm something and found a good way to get it done. No harm done, and there are nothing to criticize his action. In my opinion, this’s way better than stalking around.
Bah, this is just one of the myriad forms that stalking can take.
He has no reason to confirm anything, as it’s none of this damned business to begin with.
If, you’re a fan, then enjoy that person’s work. That’s it. You don’t go digging around their personal life to find out what they’re hiding.
everyone should be like ClariS…
damn it, keep putting such pressure on her and there might not be the same Yui for season 3 when/if it ever happens.
The sad, sad… id… er… person. He thinks he did nothing wrong just because it’s legal.
Well, if Toyosaki drops of the radar and further K-On projects are scrapped, then you know who to blame eh? lol
Nah they’d come up with something like “It’s full of whores now anyway so I wouldn’t watch it”.
But I’d really like to see a big project dropped just because of them and then see how they’d react. Hopefully they’ll kill themshelves for feeling guilty.
seriously wtf!!! wake up. even seiyuu or w/e idol u call it are human. so what if they have a boyfriend or even a harem of thier own. if ure gonna do this to every single 1 of them then all u get is juz dissapointment. u will force them out of business like aya hirano. i dont give a fuck abt thier personal life juz want to have quality voice actress.
At least he didn’t send her a Chinese Toilet.
Y U SO MAD? oO
None of this would happen if they would just be honest about it from the beginning. You could argue that they’re entitled to their privacy, which they are of course, but their blogs are filled with practically every boring detail of their everyday life you could imagine. I went there, I did that, I bought this, I saw that… They’re obviously not concerned about hiding that stuff, but somehow boyfriends are swept under the rug. So it appears as if they’re living a life with only female friends, which comes off as unnatural, and that’s why people become curious about what it is they’re hiding. These people don’t care if they have boyfriends or not, they just want to “expose” them and then be done with it. I doubt jealousy and anger has anything to do with it.
Some voice actors are open with the fact that they have boyfriends, husbands etc, and they don’t get any flak for it. Some hide it, and get flak for it. It’s an obvious pattern that they apparently are having trouble seeing.
It’s none of people’s beeswax what they’re hiding.
That’s what the whole concept of privacy is about, things that only concern you and possibly your loved ones and nobody else.
Let’s suppose she had Cancer, and didn’t want her fans to know, so she keeps it a secret.
Does this mean that the fans suddenly have a right to pry into her medical files to find out what she’s hiding?
Bantha poodoo.
It’s not jealousy, maybe a little anger. Only after these S+++ ronry ranked fools see that there own privet little behined locked doors Idaho is broken like the SOUL of the characters they ahem, worship. After all seeing your reality after liveing the fantisy in the basement and realiseing that just like the person on the other side of that voice you can’t really have have the 2D girl eather.
Unfortunately a lot of seiyuus and idols are driven to keep their romances secret because of the more retarded “fans” out there. You saw those pics earlier of a guy pointing bullets and a knife at a picture of Aki? He’s probably just another of the more violent haters, but who knows? And I wouldn’t be surprise if some of the stricter seiyuu agencies discourage their clients from having relationships.
And now that this is out in the open, this could unfortunately do a lot of damage to her career. Thanks a lot.
Moron. They dont hide it ton protect themeselves from seiyuu fans, they do it to take advantage of the fans so their popularity rises to the heavens companies get sales.
Why do I get the feeling that this guy has done this before…
tom h@ck is a decent composer, who did some of k-on’s music. it’s not like she’s banging half her male backup band…
“The creepiness of seiyuu otaku is reaching legendary lows”
you mean is reaching legendary highs.
“I really think it would be better if seiyuu just stopped showing their faces altogether.”
gotta agree with this commenet… they should just stop show the faces of the seiyuu, to aviod these crazy stalkers
OMG!! Aki’s Autograph!!! CAN I HAVE THAT?!?!?
Sending someone a letter isn’t a crime but stalking, which this is clearly a part of, is.
My feelings at this point are a bit complex…
LOL, no shit.
The next ‘eden of the east’-like anime concept for otaku will be…. private investigator otaku! Their true calling into society.
These guys’ collective minds or the CIA…
If Shocker was real, this world would already ended into full revolution if they kidnapped these obsessive otakus and turn them into Kaizou Ningen. I mean, imagine with that obsession and “dedication” of cracking the personal life of other people, even people like Osama Bin Laden would only take at most 2 days to be tracked and captured.
If he was a true fan and knew her address – he would have sent a memorable post card thanking her for the work she’s done.
But that’s not what he did…
Creepy otakus are creepy.
This is just mean. Let her live her life.
At least it is more sophisticated than digging through their trash…
Hate to shatter the ignorance surrounding everyones comments, but Aki Toyosaki is, infact, an idol. She’s in the pop IDOL unit Sphere and regularly appears in photoshoots for seiyuu IDOL mags.
Did you guys know Maaya Sakamoto, a seiyuu, does not market herself as an idol? Did you know that when she got married, most people congratulated her?
And as we’ve been saying, what’s wrong with an idol having romance? When did Aki or any other seiyuu idol say they were single? I don’t think Haruka Tomatsu ever did.
Wait, why is it suddenly acceptable for an IDOL to have this creepy thing occur to them? Sure, she’s an IDOL, but she didn’t sign up exactly, fo this level of creepiness.
It comes with the job, no doubt, but to this level? I don’t think anyone [barring I think, AV Idols or something.] signs up for this kind of shit period.
Which reminds me, why was 22:10 downvoted?
My seiyuu loving otaku can’t possibly be this creepy!
I am sorry if I am being sarcastic It seems kind of true on what this Creepy Otaku is trying help the Japanese Government by killing a popular anime K-On by exposing Aki Toyosaki and its wrong.
Congratulation you destroy K-ON! .Otaku might as well destroy every Moe character base on what seiyuu screwed up.
this was an strategy that Yagami Light would do to make you sing (with your name) the death note!!! xD, its a plan L would be proud of…
this only happens in Japan and with Otaku
he should seriously try being a NEET detective, lol
Seriously, get the police into this. These guys are really one step away from violence.
IT really depends on what he sent in the package. But yes sending mail isn’t really a crime, but it sure is creepy.
I can imagine what he wrote on the letters:
“I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE”
Yeah thats pretty creepy. Next thing you know, theyre going to be searching for a Seiyuu otaku in connections with a double homicide.
Criminal? Hardly.
Clever? Sure.
Creepy? Absolutely.
Let me say, anonymous, the very same comrades who appreciate your confirmation are simultaneously weirded out, most likely.
One thing.JUST one thing…
Can’t they leave them the eff alone?
Or is that too hard for them to comprehend???
Obsession blinds logic.
Way to go brother!
What is that meme? “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.”
Again, your avatar fits well with your reaction..
and you have the most adorable avatar ever.. no homo
i’m starting to think seiyuu should just say “i have a boyfriend, deal with it” in their profiles or else more shit like this happens.
next sancom article
“seiyu otaku get caught after sending creepy fan letter”
And if the apartment owners handle delivery?
This certainly isn’t proof.
Nothing illegal about this in the slightest, and +10 points for creative intelligence gathering- simple and legal- but the intent and activity itself shows someone who is in serious need of mental/emotional support, cause this is CLEARLY far into creepy stalker territory.
The point is… Since he knows her address, he could kill her in some jealous rage if he wants to. At any time.
How is that not creepy? That’s usually how these stories end. Stalker gets address of (insert name here); stalker visits home; stalker then kills (insert name here) or tries to. I hope that doesn’t happen though. But why else would he want her address? Why else would he try to confirm it? What, he expects her to invite him in for some tea? If that happens, that would be the end of her.
Dunno, could be out of boredom. Don’t see anything creepy about killing some time.
yikes leave them alone…
I like the stamps.
Now lets go confirm if Obama is living with he’ s girlfriend or wife !!!
Naww pretty sure Obama has 4 misstresses
I don’t get what’s do bad about 2ch….. I mean it’s a HUGE community and there’s only a fraction of it is Otakus.
But serious, this site should be called “2Chcomlex.com” it repeated a lot on 2ch(including lists)…,..
Put that in the “things this site should be renamed to” right after ChinaComplex, HiranoComplex, etc.
Don’t forget “Top10Complex”…
Let’s make a Top Ten list of them!
Meh, actually I find the past SC articles where no one ever replied had some unique interesting stuff… im still waiting for the “drama” stuff SC has under stuff they cover maybe you can do music and other real world stuff too to gather more viewers.
Pick any 3.
Isnt it weird logic of those creepy otaku anyways to say they want their chars pure while they fap to them having 5 dicks in them at the same time?
I get what you mean. Probably because they want to do the defiling themselves.
Fuck These Freaks.
Since when does it become ok, or heaven big a “victory” to go snooping around in other peoples private affairs, can’t all of the K-on obsessed Otaku or all Obsessive Otakus period just stick to their 2D shit and fap to that and make a huge event for the birthdays of made up characters and all that relatively creepy stuff, but when you go so far as to invade peoples lives just to confirm something so meaningless to anyone, WHO GIVES A SHIT if some chick who voices a character in an anime has a boyfriend, seriously, I can’t fathom how people can actually care, let alone feel the need to confirm it for themselves, and why confirming it even matters…god I’m done.
Welcome to the new world.
That’s hardcore…..
wich anime (or manga, or game, etc) is your avatar from? nice picture, funny
Not the person you’ve replied to, but that’s Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight!
Hopefully the otaku that are sad enough to actually care about this, get so depressed that they kill themselves.
They’re so entrenched in being forever alone that they can’t even fathom other people have a relationship beyond their hand.
When 2ch thinks you’re a creepy weirdo, that’s it. You have officially made yourself useless to the world.
Losers.
Aki Toyosaki isn’t an idol or something, just a seiyuu, amirite? So, she can do whatever she wants, liek, get marries, have kids, no?
Aki is an Idol. She is 1/4 of the group Sphere.
But Idol or not, she can still do whatever she wants.
Yes and the otaku can decide for themselve wether to buy some stuff or not.
Never said they didn’t.
You’re either a fan, or your not. Nobody is forcing anybody to support her professional career.
She should be able to do what ever she wants.
Definetely agreed with this logic
“Can it get Any Creepier?
The answer, yes yes it can.
This is just sad.
“one seiyuu fan-cum-stalker decided to confirm it once and for all by sending them recorded delivery letters as a way of getting them to sign for the letters and thus confirm they lived together.”
Legendary lows? Hell no. THIS IS UNGODLY LOW!
Unfortunately this probably only represents the tip of the iceberg on the levels of creepiness some of these individuals are capable of.
Victory?
Life wise. Not really.
can’t wait til the cops come knocking on this wackos door.
On what charge?
Stalking. In the U.S. he would be eligible for a five year all expenses paid vacation in a federal prison for using the U.S. mail to harass someone.
>escalates to something much more serious.
Yeah, he could like come over and try to sell her something.
There may not be a crime NOW, aside from the fucking creepiness. But as you may notice, this guys stalking keeps leveling up. It’s only a matter of time before it escalates to something much more serious.
Actually Kuraudo is right how ever creepy he did not break any laws.
I’m not sure of Japanese laws but it would not result in any jail time in the US.
I’m not sure on Japan but in the US a letter requires a return address so his identity could be exposed.
Some thing if you don’t want to.
Some of these Sieyuu Otaku really are sick individuals.
As an above poster mentioned, this involves basic Private Detective methodology; I’m not sure what the law is in Japan, but I’m fairly confident that the 50 states wouldn’t bat at an eye over this kind of thing.
More to the point, what’s with all the calls for the creeper’s death? He sent some harmless mail, not deadly traps.
But if the actual contents of the mail aren’t harassing in nature, where’s the crime?
For God`s sake…
Can they stop harassing people`s life? It`s Aki Toyosaki`s right to live with her boyfriend or with her husband. Who cares about her life if she is can become a really good cast voice?
This is the reason why people always talk bad about Otaku… and yet those creepy otaku didn`t realize it… what a shame…
The worst part about it is that people think so negatively of otaku for the countless creepy acts commited, but fail to acknowledge all the other creeps in the world. In a America there are several stalker types who are just as creepy as these lunatics on 2ch. I’m not saying the behavior is acceptable, it’s downright pathetic, but it isn’t limited to otaku.
Despite the creepiness, no one can deny that he DID get results. Now thanks to him people can stop speculating and some people who were never going to procreate in the first place are ready to jump
For one, I’m impressed by his creativity. Of all the creepy things people get up to, is figuring out a person’s address really that bad?
Even celebs have right to privacy.
The only result I see here is the intrusion into private life of the people.
Do you enjoy being a annoying retard??…Fuck Off!!!
Congratulations to Toyosaki Aki for being able to lead a more normal life than most of us on here or 2ch 😀
Agreed.
Don’t let em ‘fans’ get to ya Aki!
You said it! She needs her life unmolested…
Who give a damn. Seriously, those Seiyuu Otaku need to chill out
Are you kidding me..
Someone needs to beat some sense of reality and respect to these sexless retard Creepers..
lol, can`t think of anything else than the minecraft `creeper` but with a scary otaku face, `i see your home address` BANG exposed you are a whore and need to be punished, lol
Yeah, in the nearest mental health facility. Seriously!
Arkham? :’D
Yes they need to spend some time in a rubber room where some gentlemen in white coats will give them some thorazine.
Yeah, a cool down with some high-power hoses for a few weeks would fix their wagons good.
……Oh, but I guess that’s too Freudian for this day and age? Religious cults don’t have a problem with that stuff, though.
I got it. SEIYUU OTAKU JUST NEED TO BE EXORCISED.
“Isn’t this a huge victory?”
A huge victory for creepy obsession, and a huge loss for common sense and decency…
This is why we can’t have nice things.
“Isn’t this a huge victory fail”
Fixed.
hater gonna hate
@ Megidola 03:21:
It’s a creepy-stalky-GlaDOS-style victory:
“This is a triumph
I’m making a note here:
HUGE SUCCESS.
It’s hard to overstate
my satisfaction.
Aperture Science.
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.”
I have to agree tough, sending mail isn’t a crime, what he did is not unlike what paparazzi magazines do. What is wrong is what you do with this information.
Which he did what magazines do again, which is… expose it to the general public :V
The problem is, that ‘general public’ consists of many psychopaths..
This is so wrong, so very wrong….
Just wait for the next creepy thing the guy does…
This is not helping the cause and only gives more bullets for a certain governor of Tokyo to shoot anime culture (and all that is MOE~) with…
Stop dragging everyone down, you fickle and pathetic bastards…
If only these seiyuu stalkers use your creepiness to benefit animekind (and the anime industry) instead of acting like jealous fools…
If only WHAT??! Don’t keep us in suspense here!!
An unlimited source of raw power just waiting to be utilized.
If only…
If we could harness the stalking potential of the world’s otaku and channel it as a source of good…
it’s really REALLY wrong but it’s not too far from paparazzi.
2chan’a place for training private-eyes. You want to tail someone you hire them.
The meat network of China would probably knock on the door posing as passerby or wayward deliveryman to confirm identity of tenant.
No it’s not… That thing really is a QR code.
Its in Jap kanji about Japanese post or something.
Hey guys don’t you notice there’s a QR code in the pic, wonder what’s inside?
“Can It Get Any Creepier?”
Next the stalker gonna search through their rubbish looking for used condoms.
There’s no need to buy a letter bomb. Just go to China and buy a regular old letter. It’ll probably explode on its own.
What’s saddest about this isn’t really necessarily the lengths they’ll go to, it’s that the creativity is so wasted. For the most part, the guy is objectively correct, there’s nothing illegal in what he’s done, the sad part is what they’re making it mean that it’s confirmed. It’s so sad that going this deep can actually put the seiyuu, and the characters these people fell for, in danger.
Perhaps this is actually beneficial in general. The absurdity could get so far out of hand that it could snap some of these fools into an awareness of what they’re doing, and some of them have the chance to wake up a bit. Here’s hoping.
And how exactly is this different from obsessive celeb stalkers here in the West??
Well… “Can It Get Any Creepier?”
Unfortunately, yes they can!
He should have no problems finding a job in this particular kind of “business” though 😉

And how exactly is this different from obsessive celeb stalkers here in the West??)
While that is true, this is much more common in Japan, and they stalk tv/movie stars than voice actors.
@frank must go to China then, to buy one.
Just send a letter bomb that would get the job done.
These fucking creeps give me the chills and victory…WHAT FUCKING VICTORY YOU VIRGIN LOSERS…I SWEAR OTAKU OF THIS MAGNITUDE ARE THE WORSE..
– I don’t recall “sending people mail” being a crime?
yeah, but disturbing someone’s life? those creepy virgin otakus should just kill themselves
This is getting out of hand.
Just leave these women alone!
Fucking Creeper yo
Mygod get a life!! this is so ridiculous -___-; Poor seiyuus
He needs to meet a firing squad…..
‘He needs to meet a firing squad…..’
It’s easy to say people SHOULD be shot, it’s harder to assemble a death squad and actually shoot someone.
Unless you are living in an authoritarian society and you are the guy in charge.
Welp, you plant thrash, you harvest thrash.
We sowing what what those moe show are truly reaping. I can get absolutely worse and there is nothing we can do about it.
Of course there is still genocide and social cleansing, we can always resort to that along with media blocking.
Blaming K-on for this creepy obsession is like blaming NGE for spawning that idiot who murdered his mom due to him being too absorbed to the philosophy from the show, Sir Bananaman.
Now please don’t spawn yourselves with excuses like “That case is fine because NGE is a masturrpizz while K-on is shit!”.
Who is else there to blame? Parents? Religion? Politics?
No shit, lady sherlock!
Well, i can say K-ON is dead. The other stalkers are definetly hard at work stalking the other 3 Seiyuus.
Crazy japs.
These guys need to be relocated to a remote island with no phone, TV, internet or even postal service.
:V
Good idea, but that guy isn’t a stalker but a dedicated fan of her. Aki Toyosaki shouldn’t have lied and tell the truth to anyone knowing she’s voiced a K-ON character. They should have learn a thing or two from Nana Mizuki (she is completely single cause she’s….) and Horie Yui (although she escaped such hurdle way back 2007 since it’s not true.)
Err… This guy is a total stalker. If he was a dedicated fan, he wouldn’t be flipping out because she has a boyfriend. He would continue to support her and wish for her happiness. He wants her to be alone and miserable, just like him.
I hope this guy lives a lonely life forever, and hopefully he won’t be able to stand it anymore, and kills himself. He makes me sick. ALL people like him, make me sick.
It’s pathetic, really.
Dunno why a person Voice acting a Show should be required to tell possible watchers about her personal Life and Situation the 2 have nothing to do with each other.. She provides a voice for a Character, That does not equate to a need to know for anyone if shes single married etc.. lives with boyfriend all of that falls under the ” personal Info” buzz off bitch category.
Are you stupid. Seiyuus are taking advantage of fans, they know many idolize them an take advantage of it since it increases their popularity, they get their companies crapload of sales, more money for everyone period.
While I do not support the idolization seiyuu fans have towards them, the modus operandi of nowadays seiyuu and their companies is even wayyyyyyyyyyy more reproachable, taking advantage of fans to sale more, to further contribute to fans wrong idealization of voice actors in order for them to make more money and seiyuu to reach new heights of popularity..,,If what I said its not true then companies would not need to ban seiyuu from telling the world they have a relationship and they would not need to male them look like pure virgin maidens, seiyuus are equally to blame evidently since they go along with this idea and further contribute to it, as we have seen this is in most cases only a facade and they have a boyfriend, live with him and in worst case scenario turn out to be total sluts (Slut Aya Hirano)
Now tell me that those hardcore mega fans or whatever you want to call them do not have the right to feel cheated and angry???
Anyone is wrong in this mess period but the real scum are not fans but companies and seiyuu themselves exploiting fans ideals (if they are wrong or right thats an independent issue) to make a profit, to get sales.
Many of you that criticize fans, that say they are sick to expect seiyuu yo be virgins. that they are stupid or sick but you are even more stupid and show your very limited intelligence to not see the whole picture, yes, if you ask me its not healthy to idolize seiyuu the way many fans does but like mentioned the real scum and companies and seiyuu that knowing this take advantage of this situation to get more sales.
On a certain level I understand these stalkers. I view idols as a same basic sort of thing as pro wrestlers. They live a certain role, and they are supposed to never break it, never drop the kayfabe. Everybody on the planet knows pro wrestling is fake by now, but they are still never supposed to admit it themselves. It’s the same thing for idols: they must pretend to be pure and perfect, even though they probably aren’t. An idol who doesn’t pretend to be pure sufficiently well is breaking her role.
The main problem Japan has (in this narrow context) is that it doesn’t seem to have a category of “voice actor but not idol”.
Pro wrestlers get to go home and drop the act knowing that creepy fans won’t be peering through their windows.
True, Pro Wrestling Kayfabe is so 80’s..
Well, except for WWE. No shit, I heard they actually forced Taker to stay at home and prevented him from going out for a movie just to make everyone believe that he’s indeed dead/injured.
Air Gear.
Just sayin’.
She isn’t a idol, just a normal seiyuu.
Not an idol? You do realize she’s in am IDOL pop group called Sphere, right? You realize she regularly appears in photoshoots for IDOL seiyuu mags, right?
Most otaku congratulated Maaya Sakamoto on her marriage. Why? Because she’s a voice actress, not an idol. Sensationalist journalism doesn’t cover that of course.
A little more perspective, and a little less ignorance, please.
wtf with this sakamoto fag? talking like your bias is superior than aki? stfu being an seiyuu idol doesn’t mean she deserves this shit more than a seiyuu whom you stan.
See, told you guys, this is one of the most anoying things why i stop being an otaku, thank god.
everybody look up Rebecca Schaeffer !!!
Looked it up. Apparently Rebecca Schaeffer was an actress who was being stalked by a man named Robert John Bardo. He found her address through DMV in California, and subsequently vistited her home, she let him and they had a conversation and she told him to never visit her apartment again. He later returned to her apartment, and shot her in the chest at point blank range. She screamed and fell to the floor. An ambulance arrived, but she died at the hospital 30 minutes after arriving.
I don’t know why that was voted down, if anything, the person who posted that was showing an example of what could happen if this continues. Especially since that guy knows Aki’s address :/
you should take a look in the mirror first before making seiyuu otaku down… stupid lolicons
LOL
Dont sign it its a trap!!!!!
I didn’t find this that creepy, if they want to really know, this is how to do it without installing some spy cameras or something much creepier. Pretty clean way to do it.
Why would you need to confirm it? Someone going to die if it’s not confirmed? World going to end? What business is it to him what she does in her private life? She’s just an actress that voices characters in anime.
It’s over-invested and creepy as all hell.
I agree completely
I agree
that guy needs to arrested quickly
