One of Aya Hirano’s remaining fans has been arrested for posting threats against the seiyuu on 2ch and Twitter.
The 24-year-old lifeliner was arrested by Sapporo police after threatening to harm Aya Hirano on 2ch, and it also appears he tweeted a variety of strange remarks, such as “Aya Hirano is dead” and “Aya Hirano has already been killed” on Twitter, and under his real name.
In addition to threatening Hirano, he also made threats to “blow up” Fuji TV.
After his arrest he admitted his crimes, saying “there’s no doubt I made those posts.”
It is not clear whether he was originally a fan who became disaffected (this seems likely), or was instead a Hirano-hater from the start, but in either case the maniacal depths of his devotion are beyond question.
The cops are watching your ass 24/7 in japland. Becareful of your words.
They have time to monitor and arrest idiots like him but turns a blind eye on serious matters.
This Guy Just got a Achievement;
“Aya Hirano just threw me in jail for TYPING COMMENTS on jail and gave me NEWS PUBLICITY”
If I was anyone who was in the same MEDIA as Aya Hirano, I would bail this guy out and put him on TV NEXT TO HER TO SEE HER REACTION!”
Can we say “Jerry Springer” effect?
I wish he did that to Ishihara instead!
Free speech, anyone?
Why not arrest him because he thinks Aya’s a twat?
eventhough bad press is most times beneficial for celebrities, I don’t think its good having the ugliest of fat kids represent your fan base. similar to how goths, emos and anime nerds keep their respective interests from becoming mainstream.
