SEGA announced that it is still considering the steps to follow, but it will be difficult to remove it completely from the game given his prominent role and its similarity with the actor – to do so would create a new model, find another voice actor and produce all the scenes that involve. Perhaps they restrict themselves to return to record all the dialogues and replace existing ones without altering the character model; but by the time SEGA has cancelled digital downloads and physical sales of the game and even removed all the Tweets of the Japanese company account that elaborate the game. Disney, for its part, confirmed that the actor, who put voice to the Japanese version of Olaf in Frozen will be replaced in the sequel, which opens in November in the region. Taki also intepreto the character in the recent Kingdom Hearts III, but Square Enix still not expressed in this regard.

Measures may be rugged in the West, where the figures walk through rehabilitation clinics and make apology constantly, but Japan has a policy of tolerance zero towards illegal drugs, which is punishable with up to seven years in prison. The year past SEGA found himself in a similar situation and must replace one of the actors in the series Yakuza by the allegations of drug use, and in 2014, when one of the members of the pop Chage & Aska duo was arrested for possession of Ecstasy Universal Music Japan released their albums from sale and Disney eliminated a lively group video Studio Ghibli the boxset of works of Hayao Miyazaki.Recientemente confirmed that Judgment will reach the West June 25 with the audio option in Japanese, so it is possible the version that we receive without traces of Taki.En this note:
