Obey Me! Series Removes Voice Actor Miura Ayme Over Communication with Underage Fan
The Obey Me! series has made a decision that deeply saddened its fanbase by removing voice actor Miura Ayme, who voiced the character Asmodeus, from the cast. According to the official statement, this decision was made following allegations that Ayme engaged in inappropriate communication with an underage fan, and it was announced that the character will be recast.
Obey Me!, developed by NTT Solmare, one of Japan's leading gaming and media companies, was released as a mobile game in 2019 and quickly gained a large fanbase. The game offers a story where players interact with seven demon brothers; Asmodeus, as one of these brothers, is a particularly popular character. The series has expanded into a vast media empire with an anime adaptation, music albums, and various events, in addition to the mobile game.
Miura Ayme was known not only for Obey Me! but also for roles in popular projects such as Hypnosis Mic and IDOLiSH7. While this news has caused a great shock among fans, thousands of comments have been made on social media regarding the matter. Some fans support the decision, while others have noted that the allegations have not yet been proven and that the process should be conducted transparently.
Such situations have frequently come to the forefront in the Japanese entertainment industry in recent years. Especially the relationships between voice actors and fans are a sensitive topic in terms of ethical rules and legal regulations. The Obey Me! team took swift action to maintain the trust of fans and announced that the character's new voice actor will be revealed soon. It remains to be seen how this decision will affect the series' future projects.
Fans have already begun discussing who the new voice actor will be and how Asmodeus's character will be interpreted. As the Obey Me! universe enters a new era with this change, the community's reaction and how the series will manage this process will be closely watched in the coming days.
