Voice actress Ayana Taketatsu’s agency Link Plan, which she joined on January 1 of last year, told Buzzfeed News that the man arrested for allegedly sending a threatening email to Taketatsu was not a former leader of her fan club.
However, Link Plan stated that both Taketatsu’s office and the company that manages her fan club have never had a leader.
Following Yokoyama’s arrest on Wednesday, news outlets such as NHK had reported that he was a former leader of Taketatsu’s fan club.
Fans then began posting on Twitter that they believed Taketatsu’s fan club does not actually have a leader.
