Sometime in early November, Akagi Nyugyo received a winning stick in the mail which had been sent from Akita Prefecture.
Follow Casey on Twitter, where he can’t bring himself to hate Team Rocket because of Musashi and Kojiro’s Japanese voice actors.
Considering the man in Akita was arrested, it’s likely he was producing his fakes himself, not just unwittingly using counterfeits he’d purchased in good faith.
Speaking of which, Akagi Nyugyo’s statement also cautions against buying winning sticks on the Internet, as there’s a chance they may be counterfeits as well.
