Anime Voice Actress Under Fire For Slandering Her Colleagues Via Fan Account
The anime industry is known for its talented pool of voice actors who bring fan-favorite characters to life. Inori Minase is one such actor, famous for playing roles like Rem in “Re:Zero”. While the seiyuu is known for her lovely face, she recently found herself embroiled in a controversy after being accused of defaming fellow actors through a fan account.
On April 3, Inori Minase stirred a storm when her official X account quote tweeted a fan’s picture of her with the caption “An idiot who can’t read Minase’s warning”. The said tweet from Minase was immediately deleted, with Minase’s staff later claiming her account was hacked.
Coincidentally, a fan account under the name “Doyakonga” too got deactivated shortly after the controversial quote was posted. Notably, the Doyakonga account was recognized as a dedicated fan account of Minase, often praising the seiyuu while defaming other voice actresses of similar popularity by exposing highly personal information about them.
This led netizens to believe that Minase herself might be the one behind both accounts and that she accidentally posted a tweet meant for Doyakonga on the official account. One significant factor contributing to this theory was the timing of Doyakonga’s account deactivation, coinciding with Minase’s alleged hacking incident.
The fan account’s sudden disappearance only turned the situation into a full-blown controversy with many questioning why Doyakonga would deactivate their account during a time when their favorite seiyuu is under scrutiny. A lot of similarities between Minase and Doyakonga’s habits were also pointed out by those who investigated the matter.
Furthermore, Doyakonga’s apparent presence at multiple shows raised even more questions and fueled speculations, given that Minase’s fan club had restricted the attendees to only one live performance. However, amidst the revealing personal information shared by Doyakonga, not everyone was quick to jump to the conclusion.
Some fans of Minase believed that her account may have genuinely been compromised, with Doyakonga becoming also a target while many regarded it as a stretch and unlikely to be true. The voice actress herself is yet to comment on the controversy and only time will tell whether she is Doyakonga or not.
