Furuya Tooru's affair is revealed and Furuya Tooru's apology

 

It was revealed through coverage by 'Weekly Bunshun' that voice actor Tooru Furuya (70), famous for his role as public security police officer Tooru Amuro, a popular character in 'Detective Conan', had an affair for four and a half years with a woman in her 30s who was a fan of Furuya.

--------------------------

I knew Mr. Furuya's name because I liked animation, but I became a fan after hearing his voice playing the role of Tooru Amuro in the Conan movie 'Nightmare of Pure Darkness' released in 2016. “I went to Conan’s movie ‘Zero’s Executioner’ (2018) at the cinema 45 times and was moved to tears by Mr. Furuya’s acting.”

On the first day of the new year in 2019, when the daily routine of sending fan letters and gifts to the office continued, a short message arrived from an unfamiliar number to Mr. Ako.

I whisper love in Amuro's voice...

<This is Tooru Furuya♪ Sorry for the sudden short email!

Ako said that their intimate days began, with sometimes Amuro whispering love in his voice and other times Furuya raising his hand. The relationship between the two changed significantly when Ako's pregnancy was revealed in 2021.

When he asked Furuya for an interview, he said, "I made up my mind" and agreed to the interview for 80 minutes.

In the 'Weekly Bunshun Electronic Edition', which will be distributed at noon on Wednesday, May 22nd, and the 'Weekly Bunshun', which will be released on Thursday, May 23rd, 'Legendary voice actor Tooru Furuya is the story of Detective Conan's affair! ', it reports in detail Ako's detailed testimony about violence, police incidents, and abortion, as well as Furuya's 80-minute response. Additionally, the 'Weekly Bunsun Electronic Edition' also reports a video of Furuya whispering in the living room during a date.

And, Furuya Tooru’s apology

[About weekly magazine reporting]

This time, I, Tooru Furuya, was covered by Weekly Bunshun.

I have an apology and a report for the great sin I committed.

I had an affair with a female fan for four and a half years until last September.

I was attracted to her because of her straight support, and despite her superficiality, I made contact with her and a relationship began.

During that fellowship, there was a time when an argument broke out and I inadvertently raised my hand. It was the lowest act of an adult and human being.

I also made the unforgivable mistake of having an abortion.

I am truly, truly sorry for causing deep pain to this woman, both physically and mentally.

I betrayed the trust of the fans who supported me for a long time, disappointed them, hurt them,

I can't apologize for tarnishing the character even if I apologize.

It betrayed the trust of all involved and caused great inconvenience.

I plan to risk the rest of my life to pay it forward with all my heart.

I am prepared to face any sanctions.

I'm really sorry.
