The reason for replacing Draken's voice actor

Suzuki's return was announced by his agency in March. Due to the controversy generated around his extramarital affair, Suzuki was dropped from a number of roles.

He cheated on his wife. His wife being lisa one of the most popular j pop artists that does alot of the most popular anime openings. I still think it’s a stupid that he got kick from multiple role yet after what the rurouni kenshin author did they are still letting him write manga and are even giving kenshin a reboot. Just another case of japans lack of priorities and morals.

It’s a shame honestly, he was a really good fit for Draken and Anos from Misfit of demon king academy but he got removed from both rules due to the controversy

the whole world knows that Suzuki cheated on his wife Lisa and almost committed suicide (allegedly)
He was on an hiatus after that and only recently returned to the industry after getting his shit together.

Due to his hiatus and the controversies revolving around him, The production committee changed his roles for both Draken in TR and Anos Voldigod in Misfits of Demon King Academy.

I know what ruroni kenshin's author did......BUT!!! I sadly can't stop myself to see ruroni kenshin.....even though I haven't watched the OG series......BUT!!! being a guy who grew up watching NINJA HATORI I want to see KENSHIN (I know NINJA and SAMURAI are different BUT!!! still)

same goes for DRAKEN'S VOICE but still what SUZUKI did I can't FORGIVE him in eternity

I think dropping him from his roles is overly harsh but this guy didn't "just cheat" lmao he was full on living a double life for years and years.

I wonder why the industry is interfering in these voice actor's private lifes like that. Yes, it's obviously unfortunate (mainly for LiSA) that he did what he did but come on... isn't this something that the couple is supposed to resolve in private? Also, didn't this exact thing happen with Takahiro Sakurai (VA of Giyu from Demon Slayer or Reigen from Mob Psycho) as well? I've heard no news about Sakurai getting fired from certain roles.

So stupid i don't get it they acting like like he is pedo or something serious worth spending serious time in jail for. Yet when the author of kenshin was found with child porn he literally just got fined. Plus there is a new adaptation of kenshin coming soon. Separate the person from the art form it's simple.

What you mean ? Like he didn’t just hook up with another girl or have yk. Or did he have the same literal side chick for a very long time who he was *close* with whilst being married.
Damn I feel bad for lisa to did they divorce afterwards ??

They changed him because of the scandal with his wife. New voice actor sounds very similar to Suzuki.
