Regarding our response to the infringement of the rights of our Nijisanji and Nijisanji En Virtual Liver Group
Thank you very much for your continued support of the virtual driver groups “NIJISANJI” and “NIJISANJI EN”.
ANYCOLOR Inc. (hereafter referred to as “the Company”) is taking concrete measures to deal with offensive and slanderous actions against the Company's members.
We have been notified that a request for disclosure of the sender information of a person who committed an act of infringement against “Toru Koshimizu,” a member of ANYCOLOR, on an anonymous bulletin board on the Internet (hereinafter referred to as the “Subject”) has been approved by a court of law.
Based on the disclosed sender information of the Subject, we filed a claim for damages against the Subject with Toru Koshimizu as a party, and reached a settlement with the Subject, in which the Subject apologized to Toru Koshimizu and the Subject paid approximately 1 million yen in damages*.
The settlement was reached in the form of a reduction in the amount of damages because the subject was seen to be sincere, including sending a video recording of his own apology message to Toru Koshimizu's attorney.
We would like to take this opportunity to once again express our gratitude to the fans who have continued to support our company's performers.
