Topic	Japanese voice actor scandals are always hilariously tame compared to American

I remember something about a Yakuza/Judgment voice actor being blacklisted due to some drug use, or something like that. there was at least a lot of controversy, and I think he lost his job. in the west, everyone would be like, "that's his personal business," which I would agree with. Yeah, the guy who voiced the playable Chinese-speaking beat cop in Yakuza 4 was accused (I don't believe he was ever convicted) of using cocaine. Since they used his voice AND likeness for the character, said character was never mentioned in the franchise after that game, despite the other player characters still showing up. They even re-cast the character (likeness and all) for the remaster. --- http://i.imgur.com/0APl48O.gifv <cite>El_Marsh posted [p:979862556] in Japanese v...
