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
T151 W43 B88 W61 , yeah
88's indeed.
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.
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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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...
Do they normally carry around microphones and scripts?
AZUNYAN!!!! NOOOOOOooooo!!
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.
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.
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 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.
uhh ohh, she better change her subway line cause a flock of creepy seiyuu otaku will be waiting around the Fukutoshin line
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.
“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. :) )
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
