Reporting from 1 sources: Anime News Network.
Talent agency Amuleto released a statement on Wednesday addressing unauthorized photos of voice actor Aoi Nagatsuki that were posted online. The agency confirmed the images showed Nagatsuki with her friends and called the posting a violation of her privacy. Amuleto also acknowledged other instances of people photographing and stalking the actor in public. The statement explicitly asked the public to refrain from posting based on excessive speculation or unsubstantiated rumors. Amuleto warned it will pursue legal action if further instances of unauthorized photography, stalking, harassment, or malicious social media posts occur. Nagatsuki is best known for voicing Saki Hanami in Gakuen Idolm@ster and has also appeared in A Love Too Captivating and Neko ni Naritai Tamagawa-kun. The agency's statement was published on its official X/Twitter account and reported by Oricon News.
Amuleto's statement did not specify when or where the photos were taken, only that they were of Nagatsuki and her friends and were posted without her consent. The agency described the act as a violation of privacy and noted that it has received reports of similar behavior occurring in public spaces. The statement also addressed the broader issue of stalking, which it grouped with unauthorized photography and harassment as behaviors that will trigger legal action if repeated. Amuleto specifically asked people not to spread speculation or unsubstantiated rumors about the incident. The agency's response follows a pattern of Japanese entertainment companies increasingly taking public stances against fan harassment, though direct threats of litigation remain uncommon. Nagatsuki's role as Saki Hanami in Gakuen Idolm@ster, a mobile game and multimedia project, has raised her public profile in recent years.
