Being A Game Voice Actress Can Be Scary, Yurika Ochiai Receives Death Threats

December 09, 2009 in News comments 10

Being a game voice-actress can be scary at times. Yesterday, Japanese VA Yurika Ochiai revealed in her blog that police recently contacted her about a number of death threats that had been made against her.

Ochiai has decided to take time off from her blog and any announcements about publicity events while she deals with the threats.

Sadly, death threats against Japanese actors and voice-actors (particularly females) seem to be becoming a more common thing in the last few years. Many celebs have reported that they have recieved threats from upset "fans" for various reasons such as: portraying a character in the wrong way, portraying a character that fans don't like, dating/marrying someone fans don't approve of, appearing in games/shows fans don't approve of, and so on.

      reminds me of the twilight craze. the actors aren't even important, the fans just obsess over the characters and the actors are the only ones fans can react to

    Why would people want her dead? People need to be put to sleep and let people live their lives.

    Seriously, I may not like a certain performance by an actor/actress, but how in the bloody hell does that EVER justify wanting them dead!?

    Every like 1 in 500 people are absolute nutballs. So if you are exposed to say 500,000 people, you're going to have whole lotta nutballs after you. Not much you can do about it.

    What is up with her portrait? She looks traumatized, like that tree is forcing itself upon her.

    Japanese Evil Dead remake? That'd get her more hate mail.
