This case underscores the problems faced by voice actresses and idols in Japan, particularly when they become the object of certain fans' obsession. The phenomenon of "sasaeng," as it is known in Korean entertainment culture, has also spread to Japan, where obsessive followers can go to extremes to persecute and invade the privacy of their idols.

According to the statement, harassment can have serious repercussions on the mental health and safety of those affected, leading to extreme measures such as canceling events or live performances to protect artists. Additionally, repeated harassment may result in a ban from participating in future events for violators.

Authorities and talent agencies are cracking down on harassment, working closely with law enforcement to report and take legal action against confirmed harassers. However, the problem persists, and there is a need for greater awareness and respect for the privacy and security of artists by fans.

In conclusion, Yui Ogura's case highlights the challenges faced by public figures in the Japanese entertainment industry due to harassment by obsessive fans, and highlights the need to take firm measures to protect the integrity and well-being of artists:

"I would hire someone who would be watching me around the clock."
"I don't know much about harassment, but what would be considered a malicious act of harassment?"
"Well, she's not the great voice actress she thinks she is if her agency doesn't do enough to safeguard her safety. Even though he doesn't appear in a lot of anime, he has a cute face and I guess that gets him into trouble."
"And are these kinds of statements effective against bullies?"
"Instead of harassing her, simply declare your love for her. Something good could come out if they're lucky."
"Why do they issue these kinds of statements warning that they have the harassers identified, instead of reporting them directly to the police?"
"Considering the roles Yui Ogura plays, then her stalker is a lolicon."
