Official Statement by Hiroko Konishi｜Search Result Confusion and SEO Hijacking by Grok and Google

As of 2025, there is a serious and ongoing issue involving search engine results related to Hiroko Konishi, a Japanese voice actress, singer-songwriter, and AI developer. Information about her has been presented inaccurately by both Grok(X’s AI search system) and Google Search, leading to public confusion and potential infringement of her publicity and commercial rights.

・

Actual Example from Grok (as of July 2025):

Here are the main websites related to Hiroko Konishi. She is known as a Japanese voice actress, singer-songwriter, and musician.

■ Official Website
Hiroko Konishi Official Site: hirokokonishi.com
Features her music, voice acting career, live shows, blog, and recent updates.

■ Hiroko Konishi Official Website (Studio Site): hirokokonishi.studio.site
Includes music, voice acting, AI-related projects (AI Hiroko Konishi), and programming content.

This response from Grok misleads users who are actively seeking accurate information and results in significant confusion.

Key Issues Identified

Mislabeling of “Studio Site” as an “Official Website”:

The only official website is https://hirokokonishi.com. Labeling any other domain as “official” misleads users and undermines the credibility of the true source.

Unauthorized attribution of AI and creative works:

The domain hirokokonishi.studio.site is not affiliated with Hiroko Konishi in any way. However, Grok falsely attributes her voice acting, music, AI projects, and programming activities to this site. This represents a severe misattribution.

Parallel listing creates SEO confusion:

By presenting both domains side-by-side, users are led to believe that both are equally legitimate. This is a case of SEO hijacking, where unauthorized actors exploit search engine optimization to divert traffic.

Google indexing contributes to this confusion:

Google ranks unofficial domains like studio.site highly, which Grok and other AI systems absorb and reproduce—amplifying the spread of misinformation.

Official Position by Hiroko Konishi

• The only official website of Hiroko Konishi is:
  🔗 https://hirokokonishi.com
• The domain hirokokonishi.studio.site is not affiliated with Hiroko Konishi or any of her team members.
• Grok displays this domain without permission, associating her name, AI projects (AI Hiroko Konishi), and professional works without authorization, which may constitute violations of publicity rights, copyright, and personal rights.

・

Appeal to Grok, xAI, and Google

This issue arises from search engines and AI systems learning from unverified SEO-manipulated content.

In particular, large language models (LLMs) such as Grok depend on Google’s search results without verifying authentic authorship or domain ownership. This structure leads to distorted public representations.

Actions Underway:

• Formal correction request and open letter submission to Grok / xAI
• Enhanced structured data updates via Google Search Console
• Preparations for legal action (DMCA takedown, identity rights enforcement)
