An otaku fan of seiyuu 門脇舞以 / Mai Kadowaki, known for her appearances in Doraemon, Kodomo no Jikan and Strike Witches, and lately Rorona no Atelier and Amagami, has been arrested after threatening to kill her parents.
The 26-year-old unemployed seiyuu fan sent a threatening letter to the 28-year-old seiyuu’s office, in which he stated he would soon kill her parents.
He gives the usual bizarre excuse, apparently having resolved to threaten the seiyuu after seeing BBS posts slandering her for “adultery”; “I couldn’t forgive her. I frightened her, I did a bad thing” he confesses.
Police discovered he had left his fingerprints all over the threatening missive he sent her, which allowed them to trace him after they found the prints matched fingerprints found on earlier fan letters he had sent. Celebrities in the public gaze commonly archive fan letters for just these kind of reasons.
He has been arrested and charged with intimidation.

Kadowaki is a bespectacled and artistically capable seiyuu, so it is easy to see how she is prime stalker fodder:
Otaku are an occupational hazard for seiyuu, and as they commonly have to deal with this sort of thing hopefully she will be able to take this in her stride.

more random fags that are just TOO over obsessed with their idols. I never saw the point of such actions.
on another note: she is considered a potential target for stalkers with a megane fetish
Most sane people don't. Any kind of fandom can too far, this is just the latest example.
sadly there will always be extremes...
I tought he was dissapointed that Mai Kadowaki isn't a loli?
On a side note, “I couldn’t forgive her. I frightened her, I did a bad thing”? Wut kind of lame@$$ excuses is dat??
You think there aren't American women out there that'd threaten to kill that guy from Twilight if it came out that he was gay? Or worse, if he publicly said "There really is no such thing as vampires, it's all just a story. I'm only an actor, I'm not really Edgar".
Hell, in that case there'd be a friggen riot. Otaku Endless Eight rage could not even compare.
Think about it :v
As for the otaku who threatened Mai, his excuse should've been, "It couldn't be helped".
Hence..
'sadly there will always be extremes..'
a woman who does such a thing, would be considered 'extreme'..
nevertheless.. I originally deleted this post.. but I am thankful that it reappeared because of this.
"There really is no such thing as vampires, it's all just a story. I'm only an actor, I'm not really Edgar" Hell, in that case there'd be a friggen riot. Otaku Endless Eight rage could not even compare.
- made me laugh.. XD.
Not Edgar. Edward. And yeah i think you're quite right. Obsessive possesive fans really scary...
Chris... you seriously think that American females are turned off by a gay man pretending to be a vampire?
If anything that is full on fanservice.
According to herself, her poor eyesight is due to playing too much gameboy as a child.
More of a genetic thing, I think.
I've been playing video games all my life and I'm the only one in my family that doesn't need corrective lenses
i'm so far w/ you man! but i still consider to take care of my eyes, so i can still watch porn clearly! lol
Send me to japan I will give my life to protect her.
yeah, i will protect her too.
I will give her all my love. ;D
I will give her my buckets =D
...after I'm done with them.
Who will protect her from her protectors? ~_~"
If only she could summon Berserker like her anime counter-part...the over the top otaku would have to think twice before stalking her...
tsk.. another retarded Otaku I see.. it's because scums like him that Otaku is getting a more worser treatment. Not that it's not bad enough.
I think piss poor grammar is the real reason why otaku have a bad public image.
No just being an Otaku has a bad public image. I mean look at America and their Otakus. Randomfags that dress up as fat narutards and think they are cool.
Cool if they stab themselves with a kunai or bury themselves in sands
Otaku shouldn't have a capital unless at the start of a sentence...
Gays and lesbians don't get capitals so neither should otaku
Unless it's the Hellenic sort of Lesbian.
Like Xena, I guess.
Or someone who's nationality is Lesbian
I DREAM OF A FREE LESBOS! One day it shall be the Jerusalem of the sapphicly oriented, and all Lesbians will know to call it home.
I wonder if they'll let me visit, or if I'll just have to resort to watching it on National Geographic.
I too will protect her.... with my reproductive organs
Are you a shapeshifting Tanuki? If so, I imagine you are using your testicle shield to protect out precious Seiyuu.
Many thanks Good Tanuki!
>Are you a shapeshifting Tanuki? If so, I imagine you are using your testicle shield to protect out precious Seiyuu.
That reminds me of Shaman King
i'll teal the guy limb from limb >O
Dude, if you're going to color someone limb from limb, you should at least use something like olive-drab. Teal sucks.
Yes, those otaku can be pretty terrifying!
why can't they just admire them from afar and focus all the fapping to their 2D counterparts?
because that's just not enough to contain them. Have you forgotten how twisted their brain could be once they've crossed the line of being a sane to mega-maniac otaku?
tear too... as many tjings as i can
tear too... as many things as i can
then why dont you go japan yourself
You're no better than the threat. Instead, kill yourself and all obsessors. That's how you circumvent this.
LOL....meanwhile No One was pissed enough about "Endless Eight" to 'Intimidate' Kadokawa- lol.
I don't get it - she's not that hot.
I'm pissed with the soul's window - 5cm per second shit.
Does the boyfriend=slut mentality apply to 3D, too?
definitely, it seems
So the Japanese otaku mentality is more or less the same as someone who practices acid throwing in some backward Middle Eastern or Southeast Asian country. Am I missing something here?
Rorona no Atelier = Win.
She doesn't deserve to get intimidated by otaku rage, :/.
People should rather threaten Kadokawa instead, slandering them with words like: "Your company has entered an endless recursion of rage". Would benefit a lot more.
oh yeah, they are. Well, more like silent anger / threat... through the sale of the merchandises / DVDs of anime Kadokawa is involved in. Or any product that Kadowawa markets for the matter
-nvsds
An organization should be formed to protect seiyuus!
I suggest we form a Sentai group. Alpha, recruit a team of teenagers with attitude.
I shall play the opening on air guiter!
then with 2ch as intelligence? think i understand
Ay yai yai!
I see what you did thar
I want to be the red one
actually... make that purple instead
i wanna be the one in the big mecha
It's Morphin Time!
I think I'll wait for now before I join in. I've heard it pays off if you wait...
I'll be the orange ranger. Just let me get my dreads in, 'cause that's just made of win.
