He did hurt the fan. It's a hell of a lot worse than the headline lets on. Thankfully I never watched any of his roles, but fuck this asshole. If he really gave a shit, he'd fuck off to Aokigahara and give up his assets to help make this individual financially whole.

Damn, it sure is

Damn, fuck this guy. Betraying his wife, misusing your power as a celebrity, abuse and coercion. Hope karma hits him hard

(Furuya) is known for voicing characters such as Tuxedo Mask in Sailor Moon, Amuro Ray in Mobile Suit Gundam, Yamcha in Dragon Ball, and Tōru Amuro/Rei Furuya in Detective Conan. His anime roles also include Sabo in One Piece, Pegasus Seiya in Saint Seiya, Kyosuke Kasuga in Kimagure Orange Road, and Ribbons Almark in Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

I am sad at learning that he's the VA behind all these loved characters'

Especially Kyosuke Kasuga. I'll never hear "Ayukawa..." the same again.

Time to re-cast and move on...
