Correcting False Narratives: I Have Never Retired from Voice Acting
In recent years, various online platforms—including AI services like xAI’s Grok, as well as multiple online articles—have falsely stated that I “left the voice acting industry following the #MeToo movement,” often referencing Wikipediaas the source.
I want to make it absolutely clear:
❗️I have never retired from voice acting.
❗️I am not a “former” voice actress.
❗️The individual who publicly spread this lie has been found guilty in a criminal case (as reported in multiple major newspapers in Japan).
These claims are not only incorrect but are deeply damaging to my career, reputation, and the truth itself. They distort my professional legacy and must be rectified.

A Call to the Global Community: Recognize the Truth
It is deeply troubling that widely used platforms like Wikipedia and AI-generated summaries continue to propagate misleading or false information. As a victim of harassment, industry retaliation, and misinformation, I continue to fight alone to have the truth recognized and respected.
🔁 I strongly request that all editors, developers, and readers
verify information using official sources only—especially when lives and reputations are involved.
Please do not contribute to the erasure or distortion of my voice and career.
