Wait a minute, so Itaru was meant to voice Soundwave but was replaced at the last minute due to a serious breach of contract? It must have been a very big deal
Although I find it inteteresting that there's been a last minute change in Transformers One's Japanese dub, because here in Spanish-speaking Latin America some fans tried to mobilize on social networks for Paramount to change the voices of Megatron and Bumblebee, because both caharacters are voiced by celebrities and do not sound particularly great, especially Megatron, but it didn't work

Not only was he dropped, but he's not even in the industry anymore? Whatever he did must've been serious.

Actually, he's being replaced after the last minute, as the movie is already in theaters over there. This is not a normal situation at all, so he must have done something egregious for them to take such an expensive action.

I could imagine it for idol or vtube industry, but what exactly would constitute a serious breach in voice acting? Leaks? Exposing trade secrets? If it was of the criminal kind, there would be some other news too, or at least rumours.

I'm going to assume this is drug related. As nothing else really seems to want the entertainment to replace you in everything and pretend you never existed.

Aside from domestic violence or sexual assault?

Is that surprising?
Typically once you cast the actors you don’t change them out. Unless something happens prior to or in the middle of production.

Well, to be fair, Japan doesn't have a great track record of having significant consequences for that sort of thing. Drugs is where they really jump into action to blacklist someone from the entire industry....
