Top seiyuu Takuma Terashima has been forced to delete his Twitter account after “dangerous” posts from his legion of stalkers prompted fears for his very life.
The 30-year-old seiyuu, best known for his role in fujoshi favourite Uta no Prince-sama♪, announced his retirement from Twitter by way of his agency’s staff blog, laying the blame on one or more of his stalkers and hinting that his private army is already mobilised to protect his august person:
“The other day it emerged Takuma Terashima’s Twitter account was the recipient of some inappropriate and downright dangerous posts.
There is action underway behind the scenes to ensure there is no attack on him personally so there is no issue there, but because of the trouble such incidents may cause fans and those responsible for working with him, it was necessary to delete his account.
Appropriate measures have already been taken after agency discussions, but in case the worse happens additional measures were felt necessary.
It is distressing that a venue all his fans enjoyed so much has been snatched away like this, but we hope you will be kind enough to be understanding about this.”
Given that other rotten favourites have already inspired threats of gas attacks by crazed maniacs, their caution is perhaps understandable – though scant consolation to his 100,000 followers.
In this case an additional motive may also be present – Terashima still maintains scores of detractors who loathe him for his involvement in the 2012 “Ijime Connect” incident, a complicated minor scandal in which he was caught publicly harassing Ika Musume and Kokoro Connect seiyuu Hisako Kanemoto, which might again make otaku and not fujoshi the prime suspects after all…
Waaaaaaait a fucking second. This article is an absolute mess.
First, Terashima didn’t harass Kanemoto, they BOTH helped in the prank against Mitsuhiro Ichiki, and it’s most probably the reason he got bullied to hell and back on Twitter himself. Karma is a bitch. You’re right in the last sentence of the article, otaku are behind this.
Second, nowhere does the blog post state the stalkers were crazy fujoshi. Fujos pull that kinda s♥♥t when seiyuu are found dating or getting married (poor, poor Mamoru Miyano), Terashima did nothing of the sort. If it were fujos, the agency would specify. Why didn’t they mention what the insults were about? Because they were about the Kokoro Connect incident, and of course they would try their hardest to avoid remembering it.
Third, the Kurobasu incident has absolute no relation to fujoshi AT ALL. The culprit has been arrested already, and he was A MAN who was jealous of the mangaka’s popularity. Nothing to do with fujos, if anything they were the ones affected by all those doujinshi events getting cancelled and products getting pulled out of stores.
Mind investigating a little further when writing articles, please. The Kokoro Connect incident was ages ago and everyone and their mother knows what happened there, you have no excuse to make such a huge mistake.
People have yet to forget that Kokoro Connect Incident…as well as Sugita ignoring and staying away from him…lol…
So… angry jealous otaku threaten fujoshis favourites. And now it’s fujoshis fault? For having favourite things? Wow, great logic 😀
This guy is a pussy. Female seiyuu and celebrities deal with a million times worse and don’t go running off crying about it.
What does anyone else have to do with it? If the guy doesn’t want to waste his time dealing with the retarded portion of his fanbase, then it’s that’s fine. It’s his decision to make.
“Too dangerous” is just an excuse. You guys need to learn to read between the lines.

They’re right, though. Female celebrities have to put up witha hell of a lot of creepy s♥♥t online that they’re expected to deal with, but men are such babies that when they suffer half as worse they run off in a storm of tears.
‘which might again make otaku and not fujoshi the prime suspects after all…’
‘but of course we’re going to pretend it was fujoshi so that we can make otaku look better by comparison and pretend otaku never do anything creepy towards anime celebrities.’
