![]() ![]() Some claimed that the unknown woman in Tokyo must be a prostitute who had sex with him in a Tokyo love hotel.īut Okamoto’s actual statement is ambiguous and doesn’t directly state the wrongdoing for which he was apologizing. In response to the statement, anime fans began to speculate about Nobuhiko Okamoto cheating on his wife. Rumors began to fly, so the voice actor released a statement on his personal LINE blog that only clarified some aspects of the story, including the fact that he was already married. The paparazzi story did not publish until March 21, 2020. Then they were “sucked in” to a popular luxury hotel in the love hotel area of Kabukicho. The two allegedly met together briefly and then maintained a small distance as they walked through the downtown area. The news site claims Okamoto was soon approached by a “small woman in a mask,” who was described as a “partner.” The identity of the woman was never stated nor was a photo shown so she could be identified. Okamoto was reportedly wearing a black face mask and was using a smartphone while apparently looking for someone. It was January 26, 2020, and the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus had just been confirmed to have spread to Japan in the weeks prior.

At an autograph session, a little girl had a poster and I asked her, “Which character you like the most?” She chose Todoroki over Bakugou! But I think that’s the right choice. Okamoto: Yes, I still like it, though I think he might be disliked. ![]() I have to scream all the time, making it difficult to play. Okamoto: Of all the characters I play, this character is by far the angriest. Twwk: Does that mean Bakugou is a more challenging character than most? I only have a little bit of hateful emotion inside me, so I try to gather all that negative emotion and push it out like in Dragon Ball Z. Okamoto: I don’t really get angry that often. Twwk: Speaking of getting into character, how did you develop Bakugou’s voice? When I act, I get into the character and it becomes mine, so I don’t really get nervous. I get nervous when I sing because it’s with my name, not some other personality. Okamoto: I would choose voice actor-I really like my job. Twwk: Which would you most rather do for a career: play shogi, sing, or voice act? There’s a player who lost 3 kilograms playing shogi. The brain intakes sugar, so when I use it, it helps me diet. ![]() I’ve probably played over 10,000 games on the app! I really like it.Īlso, I don’t drink alcohol but I do eat a lot of sweets. I use the app more often because it makes it easy to play every day. Twwk: Are you competitive? Or is it more of a relaxing pursuit for you? While I can’t do it, in Japan, I play every single day. Twwk: Speaking of shogi, I hear you’re very good at it. First of all, I like shogi and share that experience with that character, and secondly, I never tell people to “Go die!” in real life. Which of the two are you more like in real life? Twwk: You voice two of my favorite characters-Nikaido from March Comes in Like a Lion and Bakugou from My Hero Academia. The popular seiyuu, who has also voiced Rin ( Blue Exorcist), Karma ( Assassination Classroom), and Eiji ( Bakuman), among other characters, sat down with us at Anime Matsuri to chat about a couple of his key roles and his shared love for a game one of them plays. ![]() But while Bakugou is characterized by a strained voice and simmering, sometimes violent rage, the actor who voices him, Nobuhiko Okamoto, is calm and engaging. One of anime’s most recognizable voices is that of Katsuki Bakugou, the quite literally explosive hero-in-training from My Hero Academia. ![]()
