“It’s okay for me but not for others，” says Yamauchi Kamaitachi， the author of the popular manga “GANTZ，” who has also criticized the author for calling celebrities by their first names．．．he himself is X and has backfired by calling celebrities by their first names．
2024/08/19 17:50 《I watch Manga Numa occasionally, but he calls me by my first name and talks in a mocking way, so I don’t think he’ll ever accept an interview request in the future. By the way, did I do something? Me?》 On August 16th, Hiroya Oku, a manga artist known for the popular manga “GANTZ,” which has been adapted into an anime and a live-action movie, tweeted this on x. On the 12th, during a broadcast of “Kawashima and Yamauchi’s Manga Swamp” (Yomiuri TV), there was a scene where he was called by his first name, and he seemed confused. In this program, Akira Kawashima (45) of the comedy duo Kirin and Kenji Yamauchi (43) of the comedy duo Kamaitachi talk about the appeal of manga. In the broadcast on the 12th, the regular feature “Serious Survey of Manga Artists” featured manga artist Doronota Inuhiko, the author of the popular manga “To Walk in Space with You,” which won the Grand Prize at the “Manga Taisho 2024” awards. The responses to a pre-event questionnaire given to Mr. Doronoda were introduced, but his age and photo were not made public. In the second half of the show, the question “What are the seven tools you use to draw manga?” was asked, to which Doronoda revealed items such as “iPad,” “Apple Pencil,” and “arm covers.” However, since these photos were not made public and the response was written in text only, Yamauchi made the following comment. “Morinota Sensei, is it not ’Oku’ by any chance?” These words were also shown in subtitles, with Kawashima laughing and saying, “No, no, no.” On the other hand, the joke that Yamauchi showed off was a continuation from a previous broadcast. “Last September, at Yamauchi-san’s request, we featured Yuki Ikeda, the author of Thunder 3. This time too, only the survey responses were presented, and President Ikeda himself did not appear. In addition, since Mr. Ikeda has never revealed his true identity and his writing style is said to be similar to Mr. Oku’s, three rumors circulating on the Internet were introduced. The first theory was that he was Professor Oku’s assistant, the second was that he was Professor Oku’s child, and the last was that it was Professor Oku himself. By the way, at that time, Yamauchi called her “Oku Sensei.” Given this trend, Yamauchi may have superimposed Ikeda Sensei’s “Oku Sensei theory” on Doronoda Sensei, who refuses to reveal his face due to his age.” (TV magazine writer)
However, there are voices on x that show sympathy and understanding for Oku Sensei, who made the criticism at the beginning. “That’s a lack of respect.” “Professor Oku is right. Calling people by their first names is not allowed!》 《I thought this was a show that showed respect for manga and manga artists, so I’m very disappointed》 On the other hand, Oku-san has also called many famous people by their first names on x in the past, including Hirose Suzu (26), Nakajo Ayami (27), and Shofutei Tsurube (72)… This post has brought up such past memories, and some have expressed their disagreement. “What is he saying? He calls other celebrities by their first names too. Is he the typical type who is okay with himself but not others?” “Oku-sensei also tweets about celebrities by their first names. I think the fact that he is called by his first name in public is proof that he is a very famous and great person!” “He himself calls celebrities by their first names a lot, so I don’t think he is in a position to say anything about calling them by their first names… It’s not like celebrities are okay, right?” Oku-san updated x about 4 hours after the above post. “Well, I was just complaining and I don’t expect you to apologize or anything, so I’m not that angry. Please do not try to deliberately exaggerate fights,” they warn. Will Yamauchi change his name to “Oku-sensei” in the next episode?

>>9 The illustrations in Inuyashiki were beautiful, but I didn’t really understand what they were trying to say in the end. There was nothing worth all the fuss about.
It would be more rude of you to say you don’t know your fellow entertainer Yoshihiro Togashi’s name, or that you know his name, Togashi Yasutaka-sensei, than to call him a celebrity by his first name.
What’s a boomerang? I was lacking in other ways too. Let’s be careful of each other. So you have to be careful too. That’s all I’m saying. It’s not like Yamauchi was aware that his wife was calling famous people by their first names.
