Seiyuu Minori Chihara, best known for playing Nagato, has admitted to sleeping with her otouto.
From her own blog, speaking about a trip to her family’s home:
What I was personally most pleased about this time was getting to sleep with my little brother. We talked about all kinds of things! ♥ ♥ ♥
She relates other little brother related episodes frequently – “As ever I just love my little brother,” “Of course, the wallpaper on my mobile is of my little brother,” “I got to spend the whole day with him – delightful,” “Today was my little brother’s birthday!” etc.
Naturally 2ch is unanimous in enviously considering this boy the luckiest alive.
This might be considered an isolated occurrence of what is termed “bro-con” in Japanese, but there is an even worse case amongst seiyuu – Shiho Kawaragi, known mainly for playing Sekai in Summer and School Days, is practically notorious:
She has a little brother 8 years younger than her (she is now 34, he 26)
She begged her parents for a little brother and was fortuitously granted her wish
She freely admits to being enthralled by him on net radio programmes (which she dubs “Super Otouto Time”)
For a time she listed her hobbies as “otouto” on her agency page.
She has written “of course it’s ok to wear his swimming trunks” and “I like him so much I’d lick him”
Like Chihara she set her brother as her phone wallpaper, until he told her to stop as she’d never be able to get a boyfriend
She got into her brother’s bed to warm it up for him, but fell asleep there
She claims to have a preternatural ability to sense her little brother, even being able to sniff him out on a crowded train
Speaking about her role in incest anime Akisora, which features actual incest sex in its OVA, she says it would be “disgusting” if she were in the same position, and maintains that “even getting in the bath together would be crossing the line,” although in light of her previous comments this seems slightly suspect.
This time, even 2ch seems to think she is taking things a little far…
I NEED PICS OF HER BROTHER!!!
What I will do with it is epic, and I will post it here when said deed is done. So please help me find a pic.
I don’t think she slept with her brother like most of us think. Usually people will always think about sex when it comes to the matter of sleeping together. But in her case, I think she was just lay besides her and had a chit chat until she felt asleep. The problem was the location of where she slept; is it on the bed or on the futon mattress. She didn’t mention on where she slept with her brother. About she put her brother’s pic as wallpaper in her handphone, I don’t think it brings a much significant meaning. In my opinion, I think her affection towards her brother is more than anyone else maybe for some reasons. Some blogs mentioned that her brother told her that she will hardly find a lover if she still displays her brother’s pic as wallpaper. Okay for that matter I think it was more to advice in order to prevent from misunderstanding. We should acknowledge that she is really a family-loving person. Well, that’s all, any reply to this message are welcome. Thanks.
Correction to this message:-
“But in her case, I think she was just lay besides her BROTHER and had a chit chat until she felt asleep”. Sorry for the mistake. 🙂
Talk about letting your imagination get the best of you… As for AKISORA: When is/will there be a 2nd OVA?
I certainly didn’t expect that! Some may find it disgusting or disturbing, I, well don’t care. ^^
oh, if I had an older sister like Minorin…
