Inori Minase, the beloved voice actress behind Rem from Re:Zero, faces shocking allegations of running a secret fan account to slander her fellow voice actors. The news has left the anime community in disbelief, wondering if the claims hold any truth.
The suspicions started when Minase’s official Twitter account posted a harsh message targeting users who shared her photos without permission.
The tweet called them “idiots who can’t read Minase’s warning” before being quickly deleted. In the image below you can see the fan account that shared the Inori Minase photos without permission. Inori quoted the post “idiots who can’t read Minase’s warning” but quickly deleted her Tweet.
Interestingly, around the same time, a popular fan account dedicated to Minase, known as “Doyakonga,” also disappeared from the platform.
Doyakonga was known for its extensive knowledge about Minase, often sharing exclusive information and details about the voice actress. However, the account also gained a reputation for criticizing and making negative comments about other female seiyuus in the industry.
The sudden deletion of Doyakonga, along with the controversial tweet from Minase’s official account, led fans to speculate about a possible connection between the two.
Minase’s official account later claimed that it had been hacked and the tweet was posted without her consent. However, many fans found this explanation unconvincing, given the suspicious timing of the events.

As a result, a theory started circulating, suggesting that Minase accidentally posted the message meant for Doyakonga on her official account. This has led to widespread speculation that the adored voice actress has been secretly running the fan account to criticize her colleagues.
It turns out that Doyakonga account shares lots of similarities with Minase. As mentioned by “@real_shukaijo_F” on X:
- The account has a lot of unpublished information about Inori Minase.
- The account posted many defamatory messages towards voice actresses other than Inori Minase.
- The account had the same hobbies as the voice actress.
- The writing style and use of emoticons is the same as the voice actress’s official posts.
- The number of posts about the voice actress’s feelings and emotions is extremely high.
- After suspicion arose that Inori Minase was behind this account, it was immediately deleted.
Doyakonga Account Critcizing Seiyuus
According to the rumors, the Doyakonga account didn’t just praise Inori Minase but also harshly criticized several other popular female seiyuu.
The account alleged that Akari Kito and Yuu Serizawa had plastic surgery. It bashed Maaya Uchida’s low album sales and insulted Miho Okasaki’s singing ability. Doyakonga even made inappropriate comments about the breast sizes of Ayane Sakura and Sumire Uesaka.
Miku Ito was another target. Doyakonga claimed Miku had disrespected Minase by failing to greet her properly on multiple occasions. This prompted Miku to make a vague tweet emphasizing the importance of greetings, though some wondered if her agency ghostwrote it as PR move her upcoming live concert.

However, Yuka Iguchi and Yui Ogura faced the most harassment from Doyakonga. The account claimed Iguchi got plastic surgery and breast implants to boost her declining CD sales. Iguchi seemingly responded with a tweet stating “People who mock others’ efforts are often incapable of putting in effort themselves.”
Meanwhile, Doyakonga repeatedly alleged that Yui Ogura, who debuted a year before Minase, lip-syncs at her concerts which have much lower attendance than Minase’s. Doyakonga also accused Ogura of not really writing her own songs despite claiming to do so. Ogura has not yet publicly addressed these attacks.
The level of private information Doyakonga revealed about Minase’s colleagues is what led many to suspect the account was run by Minase herself or someone very close to her. However, this remains pure speculation at this time.
It’s crucial to remember that these allegations are still unverified rumors at this point. Neither Minase nor her representatives have provided any additional comments on the matter.
The accusations have ignited heated debates within the anime community, with fans divided in their opinions.
Inori Minase who was pretty active on her Twitter account has gone dark and have not posted anything since April 8.
Inori Minase, born on December 2, 1995, is a talented Japanese voice actress and singer who has captured the hearts of anime fans worldwide. Her rise to fame can be largely attributed to her breakout role as Rem in the critically acclaimed series “Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World.”
Beyond “Re:Zero,” Minase has lent her voice to numerous other popular anime series. She played Hestia in “Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?”, Itsuki Nakano in “The Quintessential Quintuplets,” and Yachiyo Nanami in “Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story.”
