The stalking and obsessive antics of seiyuu otaku are notorious even amongst their own kind, but the fact that seiyuu Shinnosuke Tachibana is having to desperately beg his own fujoshi fans to stop stalking his every move looks to be evidence that female otaku are just as bad as their male counterparts.
The missive comes from Shinnosuke Tachibana (Inazuma Eleven’s Yuuki Tachimukai, Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi’s Chiaki Yoshino, and star of countless “BLCDs,” games and other productions), made via his official site:
And now for a more serious matter.
With the increase in my work and events in recent years, my fans have increased in number too.
I’m truly delighted by this!!
Whether the girls who were with me from the start or new ones, and the fact they now span all ages.
Some issues accompany all this however… In fact, I’d like you to let me make one “rule” about all this.
Please stop waiting for me or seeing me off at the entrances, exits, stations and other places.
To put it nicely, I do not like people waiting for me all the time at these places, although of course I am grateful for you heartfelt encouragement.
[He goes on to explain that such lurking is disrespectful to all the good fans who manage to obey the “tacit rules” which prohibit following his every move]
For example, girls who run into me about town by chance might consider themselves lucky – which is great – but as for deliberately waiting for me so as to provoke such an encounter.
Put nicely, again, I do not like this.
This talk all relates to just a tiny – really tiny – minority of girls who are so overflowing with love that they take things too far, so I’ve had to make this request.
This sort of thing causes huge trouble and bother to all our staff, and I’d like to avoid that.
And this is all most rude to the well-behaved girls, and I apologise for that.
Please forgive the imposition!
[He continues with several more paragraphs of platitudes and apologies]
Online there is a certain amount of sympathy, although many doubt the effectiveness of his tactics:
“This could escalate into them following him home and exposing his wife and kids… but telling a stalker to stop stalking you is not going to work, because they are sick!”
“It’s best to ignore them. They’ll just enjoy the attention.”
“What is his agency thinking? Do they think the nuts who you see mumbling to themselves at events will listen?”
“You lot, stop this! You mustn’t commit crimes, you mothers will be in tears!”
“Handling this is his agency’s job. What the hell are they doing? He shouldn’t be worried about bothering them, they should be protecting him.”
“Seiyuu otaku always wait around like that. His skills at ignoring them are pretty low…”
“Ignore them… warning them will probably just prompt more of them to do it. If you must, the agency ought to warn them, not him.”
“They see him to the station? The otome fans are pretty scary…”
“What is up with that?”
“Anyone who would take any notice of a warning wouldn’t do it in the first place.”

At least a male seiyuu is polite, acknowledging that only a tiny fraction of girls actually stalk him and that he's sorry he had to impose this on them.
A female seiyuu would just paint "gross" "creepy" "kimoi" all over the screen and say "I hate all my fans".
But the thing is, these type of fans, T.H.E.Y.L.I.K.E.I.T
Similar effects to feeding the trolls essentially.
That's actually gender bias in society.
Accidentally see a woman naked, you are a voyeur.
Accidentally let a woman see you naked, you are a flasher.
Yet, you don't see woman exhibitionists all that often (not without a man nearby who's pornographing them anyway), while you can't deny that there is no shortage of male flashers.
Sure, there are accidents that will see men wrongly accused, but all in all, this "bias" you mention is reinforced by reality.
"you can see it in their faces that they get off of it"
My aren't you the objective one. I won't even bother trying to explain to a bunch of misogynist internet losers the deeper (and very much male) mechanics of society that encourage and cause the behavior you describe. Actually, it was a mistake to even bother commenting in the first place.
Yeah right, because wearing skirts so short some might consider them a belt ist not exhibitionist at all. Not to mention doing that in the middle of winter. In the area I live I see some chicks who go crazy flashing all kinds of stuff and do as if it is by mistake. But you can see it in their faces that they get off of it, so get of your high horse mr. reverse sexist.
>Actually, it was a mistake to even bother commenting in the first place.
It was a mistake to be in here the first place, feminist.
My aren't you the objective one. Using insults instead of arguments.
The "social dynamics" you speak of are called delusions. Wearing skimpy clothing has next to no impact on how attractive a woman is perceived for most men.
In fact, in western culture, women are afforded a great deal of choice in regards to what is acceptable clothing. There is nothing wrong with dressing classy. In fact, this us seen as a sign of maturity and even headedness.
Typical feminazi bullshit. Stop blaming men for everything you perceive as wrong and, dare I say, "man up".
Liar, liar, pants on fire. If you thought it was a mistake to comment, you could have just not clicked the "Submit" button.
04:42, you're just some kind of a jackass... aren't you?
Regardless of "mechanics," PK is right. All these trashy girls showing off their ass in the middle of winter totally get the results they ask for because they do it on purpose, not because we, as males, expect them to. I certainly don't.
Enlighten us otherwise, oh brainy one. You seem to know soooooooo much. Why did you post anything at all if you're not going to part your great wisdom unto the masses?
Yeah, except the 2chan godesses, the 4chan strip girls, etc.
They sure all where forced by man with a camera in their hand.
but, but, but, the peer pressure! get some balls and do what you want then, or are all women so pathetic as to only do as society tells them? You're right it was a mistake to post cause you just made women look weak.
Franky says:
Accidentally see a woman naked, you are a hentai.
Accidentally let a woman see you naked, you are a pervert.
Franky is obviously not very bright since hentai=pervert.
...It's a One Piece joke...
.....
male otakus take their stalking to a whole other level when comparing to female otakus. Female seiyuu has more to lose than a male seiyuu.
"female otaku are just as bad as their male counterparts"
Did he just...?
Dude what the fuck? At least male otaku don't turn every fucking character gay and stalk comiket with gay doujinshi's, fucking seriously?
Plus don't just go call us Counterparts of fujoshi's, don't devalue us please, and don't devalue normal female otakus, because a normal female otaku and a fujoshi otaku are completely fucking different.
Thank you for fucking understanding.
“Handling this is his agency’s job. What the hell are they doing? He shouldn’t be worried about bothering them, they should be protecting him.”
This is what I was thinking ._.
And btw, isn't it obvious there are both creepy males AND females in the world?
I think he is simply trying to solve this problem in more civilized manner, without involving security and lawsuits.
Fujoshi to Seiyuu: Ever watched the movie "Misery"? Then this will all be new to you
I would definitely watch a remake of "Misery" if Daisuke Ono was casted in James Caan's place. Just think about it is making me laugh! XD
Am I paranoid for thinking fujoshi are more likely to corner this guy and go "It's RAEP TIME!"?
Only problem is, they probably think heterosexual intercourse is disgusting and ugly. They wouldn't rape him, they'd have a gay male friend rape him while they videotaped it and masturbated.
Most fujoshi have a 3DPD going on too, so no, they wouldn't.
Lets be honest male or female, if these ppl knew they had a chance in hell with someone, they would go for it.
You are saying "fujoshi" but describe feminazi.
This is what idiots actually believe!
if some of them had too much testosterone in them
>Inazuma Eleven
That explains it.
'“This could escalate into them following him home and exposing his wife and kids…'
Wait, male seiyuus are allowed to get married?
seems all true that female nut bags aren't as bad as males
>“Anyone who would take any notice of a warning wouldn’t do it in the first place.”
Unfortunately, that's probably true.
He looks exactly like me
U MAD?
As a hardened fujoshi... who the fuck is Shinnosuke Tachibana? Never heard of him.
... i see a "mental illness" tag up there ...
Because fujoshi's are mentally ill, and that is no exaggeration.
But until fujoshi start covering their hands with their own pussy juice and going to handshaking events, otaku are still leading in grossness...
He should just look at one of the ones when he leaves work, walk up to her, grab her by the chin, and whisper in her ear "If you keep following me around like this nobody'd convict me for killing you."
The problem with that solution is that the fujoshi would probably love it.
kukukuu... How is he so sure that they all are females?
I really feel sorry for celebrities that don't get a moment's peace, either due to paparazzi or due to fans. They are just normal humans like us, and got their own lives and right of privacy and to be just a normal person with a job like the rest. Somehow some people got this idea that just because you're famous your life is way much exciting than normal, but guess what; they have to go to the toilet in the morning just like you and me.
If it was up to me I'd create a special clause in the assault article that exempts journalists, photographers, and persistent fans.

Hell yes. People who deliberately stage chance encounters are some of the most disgusting garbage on the planet. It's obvious these losers have nothing going on in their worthless lives if they have nothing better to do than wait for someone to ambush them with forced socializing.
see? male and female are equal as proved here
I don't think he's very good looking, at least when comparing to female seiyuu who are going through similar experiences. Perhaps the appearance requirements are lower for male seiyuu, but they are still 'desirable' because... why?
He's not half bad looking for a guy. Maybe it's because he's a dude that you don't think he's very good looking compared to girls? His hair is a little sloppy but he's got a nice face.
Eh, not too heavy, okay skin, still probably has most of his hair. I have a feeling that appearance isn't as important for female fans. As Anon noted, he was hired for his voice.
Are you gay or why do you think you can judge looks of other dudes by one picture of them?
why do you think these guys are hired for ? their voices ...
I know what he is hired for, but I don't think his job description includes being stalked by creepy fans, at least officially.
Those are just the batshit crazy fujioshi...
Not all of us are like that...
Doesn't fujoshi mean "batshit crazy" already? So that's a bit redundant there...
LOL
No it means rotten girl.
They're being a bit considerate by calling them a not-so-insulting name as rotten girl, they should be called rottenforeveralonevirginmentallyillsickfucks.
