In conclusion, Yui Ogura’s case highlights the challenges faced by public figures in the Japanese entertainment industry due to harassment by obsessive fans, and highlights the need to take strong measures to protect the integrity and well-being of artists:
- «I would hire someone who would take care of me twenty-four hours a day.».
- «I don’t know much about bullying, but what would be considered a malicious act of bullying?».
- «Well, she’s not the great voice actress she thinks she is if her agency doesn’t do enough to safeguard her safety. Even though she doesn’t appear in many animes, she has a pretty face and I guess that gets her into trouble.».
- «And are these types of communications effective against harassers?».
- «Instead of harassing her, simply declare your love for her. Something good could happen if they’re lucky.».
- «Why do they issue these types of statements warning that they have identified the harassers, instead of reporting them directly to the police?».
- «Considering the roles Yui Ogura plays, then her stalker is a lolicon».
