Has a toku actress ever left a show because of a stalker?

Post by OnmyojiOmn »

For some reason I had the idea that Shiratori Yuriko, who played Hana in Den-O, left that show because of a stalker, or threatening letters, or similar shenanigans. I happened to look it up the other day and all the internet says is that she was overworked. So now I'm just wondering whether I confused her with a different actress, or I read an unfounded rumor somewhere, or I just made the whole thing up in my head. Which is it?

Pretty sure you just made it up in your head. Most sources agree the actress was kinda a bitch and wasn't showing up on time and stuff like that. You'll notice her career never went anywhere after Den-O because she got blacklisted (and frankly, if you back out of a show like that, it's really not surprising if you can't find any more work)

Nah, most of us had a lot of theories about what was going on for a while at the time. We all had theories like that. The truth is something that should never be considered obvious.

She was cute though. Sucks her attitude put her out of the game.

The stalker thing came from that doujin where people were talking about the curse of Kamen Rider.

There's some manga that tells the story of the Kamen Rider curse. I don't remember the details, but it talks about how some actresses get sick or leave after being a part of the Rider shows.

It's not a thing. It was just saying all misfortunes and the like during the duration of the franchise (like Fujioka breaking his leg onward) was some curse of the franchise.

Yeah, but there's also a manga that depicts all those anecdotes out there somewhere. Or at least a short comic that does so.

I thought that Hana 'got sick.' Didn't she describe it in like a recent blog post not long ago?
