I think they're going to go even further, put mosaics over people's mouths, even if they aren't saying anything profane.

First Takeshi Aono got a stroke and won't be repraising Mihawk for awhile or if ever.

Now Norio got arrested and looks like the One Piece team will have to throw in a fill-in actor for the upcoming episodes.

That's two One Piece characters that'll be voiced by different people in the upcoming episodes.

I too find it unusal that Norio got arrest for this. Cause it wasn't like he was running around in public naked.

When is Japan going to do away with this moronic censorship laws? Really, what's the point of censoring genitalia in pornography only available to adults???


That is one law I never understand why they made that for. If a country made a pornography and censored it, then what's point of making it if you're going to censored it. It's not pornography anymore if it get censored.

Yeah. It makes me wonder if married couples have to wear blind folds when they have sex. Apparently, adults aren't mature enough yet to know what a penis or vagina looks like.

WOW!!! Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked

I give the tattooer credit for really paying attention to detail. Just don't pull any fingers.

I would like to know if they did all the tattooing in one sitting or did it in parts? It's kinda amazing that he did that even though he should have used for a house or something. I hope he can work it out.

Getting his taint inked must have been fun. This may sound kind of gay since I'm a guy, but I wonder if he had Mr Happy done? Just curious is all.

For a detailed full body suit it was more than one sitting. Just the inside of my right forearm alone took a little over three hours. Either small sections(like knee to ankle) were completely done both outline and fill-in, or larger sections(like entire leg from the waist down) were outlined only to come back later to fill-in. Plus, the larger the area of a fresh tattoo the greater the chance of a possible infection so it's never a good idea to get too much done in one sitting.

Besides, tattoo artists know their limits and wont push themselves for fear of making a mistake because reputation is everything.

No. It's more like A WITHHF WAS HE THINKING???????

That has to be the most stupidest thing that a VA could ever EVER do. unless he was a VA that only does 18+ series like bible black and discipline rei.

Well duh, it's naked pics of ugly guy butt! 8O
This is Otaku-Land we're talking about, only naked pics of supple 16+ girl butt is allowed! :x

Still, he could have been arrested too because of the Yakuza-type tats. 8-)


Should seriously only be 18+ young women, but that is another topic all in it's own.

Side note, don't the Yakuza use certain types of tattoo's though. I know he probably will never be allowed back in a hot spring (learned that in A Bad Boy Drinks Tea, otherwise known as Ocha Nigosu) but he'll have to wrap the areas that have tatto's though (with a towel or something of that nature, I also learned that in Ocha Nigosu.)

I'll admit, said pictures of this guy aren't something I've ever be inclined to look at (now if this was the case with a adult woman who was very attractive and not much older than 18, that is a different story.) I have nothing against said pictures, it's just not something I'd ever want to ever see.

One of the other Otaku news sites, I'm not sure if I can name it here, posted several more pictures beyond the photo from the back and the picture of his tattooed anus that someone else posted. One was Mr. Imamura in shibari, so that might be it too.

The site also noted that Mr. Imamura is the proprietor of a tattoo-themed gay bar, and they suggested that he may have already been targetted because of that.

Also Mr. Imamura said he had been getting the tattoos over ten years, and had posted the images to show off his extensive work.

Also, as an aside, Dizzon, I think what Zipper is getting at is that he doesn't like the aesthetic of all tattoos. Personally I think tattoos made without any care or consideration look moronic, for example having a moustache tattoo on your finger to be "ironic" or having a nautical star without knowing why its a traditional tattoo. Of course it's silly to judge someone their appearances alone, but how someone dresses or adorns themselves is often a conscious effort to communicate something. If you saw a guy on the street wearing head-to-toe FUBU and a fat gold chain the immediate assessment is probably not going to be "geneticist" but I know at least one who dressed just like that.

I think Mr. Imamura should have used better judgment in this. I think if he apologizes and works a deal out, then the blow to his career will be not as hard. I hope the anime producers don't replace him ( I don't watch the show myself but I think it would be pretty stupid for the producers to fire him because he was a little careless.)

I think Japan should use better judgment and not put the guy in hot water because this guy has risque pics on his website.

No I got that as well, I'm mainly curious how people see others with tattoos. It's been my experience that there's two types of people who don't like tattoos, the type of person who separates the tattoos from the individual and is able to just ignore them or the type of person who ONLY sees the tattoos and instantly treats that person as if he/she IS the tattoo they dislike so much. If someone doesn't like tattoos that's fine with me I just think it's a shame that some people only see skin and assume there's nothing of value under it.

I know many people who's looks don't fall in line with expectations so I can honestly say if I saw that guy on the street I wouldn't have any preconceived notion of the type of person he would/could be....but that's just me.

I think Japan should stop being a bunch of tight asses. Really, their culture is embarrassing sometimes. Its not exactly the land of the free.
