Moeblob seiyuu Ayana Taketatsu (Azunyan) has complained of being “peeped at” and filmed by creepy otaku on the Tokyo subway.
She filed her victim report with the masses on Twitter in the tersely eloquent prose common to users of the medium:
“Hmmm, this is most suspect. I may have been the subject of a peeping tom on the Fuktoshin line. And using video…
He shouldn’t have got my pantsu or anything, he seemed to be just filming me sat down. What can you do about this?”
“I should have filmed him back!! Maybe that would have been good proof of what he was up to!! But that’s a crime as well… Sorry. I was hungry, I couldn’t think properly. Curse my appetite.”
“Damn it, this is annoying! I should have at least made a face at him!”
It should be noted that taking photographs of people (or women who subsequently complain about it, at any rate) or using their likeness without permission is a regularly punished crime in Japan.
There is some debate as to whether this was a random encounter with a creepy seiyuu otaku, a random encounter with a creepy pervert filming a pretty girl, or even a stalker or similar, which Taketatsu seems to have attracted an abundance of:
“Poor girl!”
“I can’t believe one of those peeping bastards would target Ayachi. Probably it was just a habitual offender shooting a cute girl.”
“She’s gradually turning into the next Hirano. Next she’ll be making stuff up about taxi drivers…”
“I think she’s just trolling for sympathy.”
“Upload your pics, guys.”
“So Ayanyan uses the Fukutoshin line…”

if you're going to be famous w/in the anime community in japan it's a given you're gonna get the creepos (which japan seems to have a lot of)...plus she is cute so she probably gets creepos that just stare at her for that too (nevermind the anime connection)
Not to mention seiyuu work has always have had quite a bit of a fan following, so various things related to idols overlap. I doubt she got into voice acting without knowing the reality of the business, so she better grow a thicker skin instead of fussing over someone staring.
“So Ayanyan uses the Fukutoshin line…”
Ehehe.
That enlarged, emboldened sentence really made me lol
Filming/taking pictures of famous person = creepy otaku bastard... Got it.
Poor girl has yet to notice that the industry is making seiyuu into idol... and filming and taking pics of idol you happen to see IRL is what most of people do.
If she doesn't like it she can just wear a white mask like half of the cute girls in the metro (don't tell me there are so many girls with a cold regardless of the season...)
Yes, because it's totally her fault otaku are crude, rude, and impolite. Let's not make a person responsible for his own rudeness.
I'm not her fault, it's the industry's fault for making seiyuu into idols.
B still, if she was aware of that status she would take the train and ask her company to pay a taxi.
@Anon 23:09:
And it's a swing and a miss!
The point is that you're still blaming someone else for your own decisions and choices.
Be a damn MAN and take responsibility for your own damn choices. Or remain a BOY and blame everyone but yourself for everything.
T151 W43 B88 W61 , yeah
88's indeed.
Poor girl. It must be tough to be that cute.
so im going to start riding that train so i can stalk her
All abroad the Fukutoshin line,commence operation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AZUNYAN!!!! NOOOOOOooooo!!
Not trying to troll here, but how can they tell her apart from everyone else unless she's in her full getup?
By her face.
Get used to japanese faces. I have a hard time telling black people apart since im not used to see them here in Europe, its basicly the same thing.
I am offensive and I find this black.
Asians only look all the same to non-asians. If the viewer is also asian, then they can differentiate between them. Don't let your white blindness be so apparent.
Do they normally carry around microphones and scripts?
that's true, there are tons and tons of Hollywood stars, this would be the equivalent. Really annoying to have to go out in disguise before going anywhere in public or prepared to be on the news next day.
she is too cute thou.....if I by chance see her on the public transit, I'd totally whoop out my phone and start recording. lol
right, it's your phone that you'd whip out...
only in japan.
Yeah, because celebrity stalking is a Japan-only phenomenon...
Eh???
You can't explain that.
Sarcasm! How does it work?!
But is Creepy Otaku - Counter Stalking acceptable?
Maybe she should of retaliated by taking pics of the stalker to give to authorities.
At least we would have another artecle to either applaud or berate when the pics go public.
Worst of all is that these fans do not accept as a seiyuu tries to have a normal life. They think they are goddesses or Mikus.
To end their life together and devote themselves whole heartedly to fans.
This is outrageous.
Not here in Brazil is so. These Japanese need to grow and leave home.

O pior de tudo é que esses fãs não aceitam quando uma seiyuu tenta ter uma vida normal. Eles pensam que elas são deusas ou Mikus.
Para acabar com sua vida juntos e dedicar-se inteiramente aos fãs.
Isso é ultrajante.
Nem aqui no Brasil é assim. Esses japoneses precisam crescer e sair de casa.

Are you some kind of idiot?
She's adorable.
Agreed, she's freaking cute!!!
She's a fat whore! Live with it!
There are better pictures of her... but yeah, she is cute...

É revoltante isso.

Only in japan? really? Find me a place anywhere in the world where celebrities aren't photographed and/or filmed by fans when they go out in public.
I'd bet anything that it's unwelcome by the celebrity most of the time.
Otaku on train: "Taketatsu-san, what's that long, black, tube-like thing you have hanging from a strap on your shoulder?"
Taketatsu-san: "It's a camera I use to photograph creepy otaku."
Otaku: "Really? What kind is it?"
Taketatsu-san: "It's not a Canon, but it is a cannon. I keep it loaded with ISO 00-buckshot."
Wait, since she is so cute how can she just say that it's an otaku and not a random shy guy bishi hittin-
What am I saying, it's likely an otaku
So... She's famous, it's common for people to take photos/films of her.
It's also illegal. She should have had a fit about it.
It sounds like she was, internally. Raising a fuss would've made it worse, I think.
She should have channelled her inner Kirino if she was really that mad about it...
It was me. I took pictures of her.
“So Ayanyan uses the Fukutoshin line…”
The stalker probably was planning for her to reveal this online at the first place..
So Ayanyan uses theFukutoshin Line
Hope it won't be another stalking case like Toyosaki Aki again.
C'mon, women don't own the world, taking pictures on public places should be legal. Even thought no stalking, like following girls ofc.
“So Ayanyan uses the Fukutoshin line…”
I see the most important point was rightfully bolded and enlarged for our convenience.
I normally use the JR Yamanote Line to commute between Shibuya and Shinjuku, but I guess I'll have to try my luck on the Fukutoshin Line someday. lol
(Though riding outside the range of my monthly train pass would cost me an arm and a leg. :) )
1: She's popular,
2: seiyuu otaku being sociable, not shy at all, and asking if he can take a picture or video? High likelyhood that he's turned down anyway?
Myeah, the guy's just a brave opportunist.
I would cut off one of my own testicles with a melon baller spoon to see her get naked & sexual in a J AV video. She's sooooooo Dam HOT
uhh ohh, she better change her subway line cause a flock of creepy seiyuu otaku will be waiting around the Fukutoshin line
“She’s gradually turning into the next Hirano. Next she’ll be making stuff up about taxi drivers…”
This is what I thought too.
“So Ayanyan uses the Fukutoshin line…”
Lol.
He was peeping at you? You mean looking, right?
Needs a team of SPs to beat up creepy guys.
Japanese are crafty, she probably named the wrong train line to keep other perverts away. They should just arrest everyone on the Fukutoshin line who looks a little creepy now.
Let's hope she gets raped, impregnated, punched in the stomach, and gets her fucking throat slit. No one is more deserving of it than she is.
Somebody do me a favor and slay this bitch already. This pathetic excuse for a voice actress deserves to die. And nobody would care when she dies.
wow, didn`t realise my Azunyan was voiced by such a cute girl, nice
“So Ayanyan uses the Fukutoshin line…”
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
“She’s gradually turning into the next Hirano. Next she’ll be making stuff up about taxi drivers…”
I was thinking the same.
I don't think she realizes what she just did.
Actually he is not a stalker, it so happens that Ayana Taketatsu boards the train, since he's noticed her, there he starts filming without asking her if she would allow him to do so, probably he's scared to be misunderstand as a creepy person, so he decided to do it.
If I where the guy, he should have done what paparazzi's does, do it the legal manner.
I'm still hoping one day I get a video or picture of Aoi Yuuki in her bathing suit or she's cosplaying Nadeko Sengoku.
I would have grabbed his camera and shoved it up his ass.... while it was still recording.
“So Ayanyan uses the Fukutoshin line…”
“So Ayanyan uses the Fukutoshin line…”
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
Oh shit, what did you do?!
You never say what line do you take! And less if you spot someone filming you!
lol agree with the last comment now everyone know what line she takes
“She’s gradually turning into the next Hirano. Next she’ll be making stuff up about taxi drivers…”
More like hirano made them conscious of your never ending creepiness yeah ...
seiyuu or not , these kind of happening are common there ...
but what was just a pervert before is now a creepy stalker looking for a new scandal for the popular seiyuu to them .
(and they probably are )
i swear those guy really are disgusting .
“I think she’s just trolling for sympathy.”
so a seiyuu can't have a private life AND can't even try to get some sort of emotional backup from an encounter with a pervert ?
You human trash ...
“Upload your pics, guys.”
“So Ayanyan uses the Fukutoshin line…”
thanks for adding some proof of what i said up there .
Well, frankly, I don't think if I'd have a bad encounter in a parking lot at night or whatever I'd post about it online. I'm not saying she's trolling for simpathy, but it's not everyone's style.
[more probable if the thing was really bad, like being robbed]
But I'm a man, so at the unconscious level I'm supposed to tough it up and all that shit. If a were a woman it could be different, in our first world society.
Emotional backup online? From who?
Oh right, those same "creepy otaku fans" she was complaining about.
The irony.
Did i say otaku ?
2ch hate EVERYONE , otaku included, and most of them would be more than happy to catch some scandal regarding their "angel" to troll them ,as it happened before .
don't put word in my mouth please .
(or anything else for that matter )
i wasn't that emotional actually .. XD
Na-na-na-na newfag~
Jeez, way to get emotional. You sound like 2ch murdered your family.
I wish it was also a crime here. :l
why not just be happy your popular enough to get photografed by random admirers?
It's uncomfortable.
This is bad...
Really getting tired of Japanese men. This shit isn't even funny anymore.
“Damn it, this is annoying! I should have at least made a face at him!”
An "O" face?!
Her ahegao face.
lmao lmao at the last comment deserved to be in bold ahahaha. Would be annoying constantly being filmed oh wait they are called paparazi.
why she didn't take public transit in disguise is beyond me.
I mean.....a hat, sun glasses, maybe a mouth cover and an overcoat?
Hollywood stars experience the same thing; either go out in disguise or be prepared to be followed.
she is too cute thou
Azu-nyan
I'm all for sexy photos and such, but things start getting creepy when you start doing things without a girl's permission. It stops being sexy and I just want to punch you in the face at that point.
Western mindset = Mutual pleasure is sexy
Japanese mindset = FEMARE CONSENTU IS WLONG!
That's some retarded logic you have there.
What can you expect? Obviously American. It's a given.
Even if they're not allowed to grope them any more, creeps will find some way to make women intimidated and uncomfortable. People like that are why we invented armblades.
Also, her eyes are augmented.
Pics or didn't happen
Uses the same line I do
Prob will never notice.
Looks too average
I do not speak of Perfect Blue, as all here have ever seen.
_
Não falo de Perfect Blue, pois todos qui já viram.
Azu-nyan.
The last post made me lul
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moesia
Her homeland <3
Sooooo she is an idol and is exposed to public and she whine when a fan or whatever film her? ok make perfect sense OR NOOOOOOT! Leave the industry if you cant handle that tbfh.
its her own fault for not asking him to stop.
knowing Japanese otakus...what he is going to do with the video probably isn't anything pleasant.
Idols in Japan are filmed by the masses.
Idols and celebrities in Western countries are filmed by the masses... And the ever-present paparazzi.
I wish to change this aspect of the world for the better.
hmmmm dont know who she is so i dont really care....
Creepy Otaku, very Creepy..
Just play dead already, bitch.
correction, she should just "be" dead.
