BREAKING: [1] #倉田てつを Tetsuo Kurata, the Kamen Rider BLACK, was accused by fans of asking for money and block on social media those who refused to pay him. First of all, our intention is not to "cancel" but to expose facts that occurred and published on the internet ...

[2] We ask the fans DO NOT TO OFFEND and to be respectful to all the people involved in this case. Follow the all the thread to understand the story ...

[3] There are two cases that are being mentioned among fans on social networks and blogs, we will explain both in chronological order: Last Wednesday a fan/artist of action-figures and sculptures named Mr. Toru Saegusa reported on twitter that…

[4] …that he made a real-size statue of KR BLACK in 2018 to present the actor. The condition was that the statue-because it is not official, was not used in his restaurant (Kurata has a Kamen Rider BLACK-themed restaurant in Tokyo) ...

[5] it didn't happen and it started to be used even in events organized by the actor. Kurata asked the fan to make a statue of the RX as a gift to his brother, after his refusal he blocked it ...

[6] Second case: the actor organized a private event for fans of INDONESIA, where KR it is quite popular ... it would be an event celebrating 30th anniversary of RX, the value included plane tickets would be ¥ 300,000, in dollars it would be equivalent to US$2.851

[7] ...a hardcore fan called by the nickname "Captain Kakumei Omensan" and a fan of BLACK / RX cannot go for the high price and received a DM from the actor asking "Why don't you go to Indonesia?" The message was exactly this:

[8] "There are very few participants from Japan, it is a pity for RX that there are so few Japanese even though it is our local work. You can pay by credit card! You did not participate in the 10th anniversary celebration at the store. My last order from you, I want you to go to.

[9] The fan declined the request saying that he had just got married and could not afford the expenses of that event, although he really wanted to go. The actor reply again by asking him to pay by creditcard, so finally the fan said he couldn't go. The next day he was blocked...

[10] This led to DEPRESSION, he had a huge collection of action-figures and items from the BLACK and RX series in his home:
"A year later, the days passed and I got better from that depressive feeling and started to expose my items on the shelves again" ...

[11] "Suddenly, I found out on twitter that there would be a fan meeting in Osaka. I would like to go to reconcile with Mr. Kurata, in my heart I thought that somehow it would have been because of my attitude" ...

[12] "I participated in the event, I will omit what happened there but as a result I was unblocked from Facebook and I was able to return to my friends".
"I was happy, after all, the block from a year ago had been a misunderstanding, so I went to another meeting in Okayama." ...

[13] "With the date approaching, something unexpected happened at work and I had to cancel, I couldn't leave work. At the same time, my father was hospitalized due to a car accident."

[14] "I contacted the actor saying that I would have to cancel and then I was blocked again. I realized that other people had been blocked too, it was as if people who refused to go were not considered real fans." ...

[15] These reports encouraged other fans and to expose very similar cases, one of them Shizukawa712 says: "the trips had a strange atmosphere, the new fans seemed very excited but others were lonely, it seemed like a religion, it was like we were recruited for these events."

[16] "There was no report or text about these events, there is only one video on a karaoke that is on YT." In another tweet a fan called G2tPiece reports that there was a ranking of who bought more, and whoever was above a certain position would win gifts ...

[17] In one of the publications the actor offers a pair of Dumbells that he apparently used to keep fit during the series. He says that offering DM the most value wins, along with an autographed photo of him.

[18] From that tweet I (author of this thread) stopped investigating. The stories are very worrying and sad, they are requests for daily charges, sending gifts for payments, blocks on Facebook, DM on charges. The actor has yet to speak ...

[19] This case of Tetsuo Kurata immediately brings us back to actor Shunsuke Takasugi, who made the Kamen Rider Super-1 main role in 1980. In mid-2013 they reported that he had achieved about 50 million yen from his fans between 2003 and 2012, he basically...

[20] ...he used his influence as a former actor of Kamen Rider, to deceive fans. He said that his KR transformation belt was in Yakuza's possession and needed money to get it back. After being convicted by the court he fled.

[21] more news about this case in the next tweets.
