According to Japanese publication Friday, voice actress Rika Matsumoto is under fire for alleged suspicious acts regarding the Japanese government’s covid-19 relief. In Friday’s report (via Hachima, summarized by translated Doug Dinsdale), Matsumoto’s former manager alleges that the voice of Ash allegedly took advantage of government relief grants.
The voice actress also claims to have paid back the money her former manager owes.
Because of the global pandemic, the Japanese government offered to help support artists hurting from the impact of covid-19.
These claims, however, have been refuted by Matsumoto, who told Friday, “I’m only holding the money.”
