Sumire Uesaka Cancels KyoMAF Appearances Due to Safety Threats

Voice actress Sumire Uesaka has canceled all four of her scheduled appearances at the upcoming Kyoto International Manga Anime Fair 2026. This sudden decision comes after her agency, Voice Kit, received multiple extremely malicious emails containing kidnapping and death threats targeting her safety. The agency acted quickly upon discovering the messages to ensure the well being of the star.

Fans looking forward to seeing her on stage will be disappointed, especially those waiting for the special presentation for Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Season 2. Her agency confirmed that she will step away from all events planned for the September weekend to prevent any risk to her or the attendees.

Police and event organizers are working closely to handle the situation and keep everyone safe at the venue. We hope for her safety and will share updates as soon as official word comes regarding her future schedule.
