So yeah, did a fairly thorough search and it seems ANN missed this when it happened back in January.
Voice Actor Yuji Mitsuya (Touch, Ranma 1/2, One Piece, Anpanman) came out as gay back in January. He explained on a talk show that he dodged the question for years on panel shows by saying he was in the "gray zone", but now at 63 he feels safe in coming out. He also said that part of the reason he was in the closet for so long was that he had a brother who worked for an unnamed company, and he didn't want his personal life going public to cause him any trouble at work, so he was going to wait until his brother retired to come out. Here's an unverified article in English: http://out-japan.com/2017/05/05/yuji-mitsuya-a-well-known-voice-actor-in-japan-came-out-as-gay/ And here's a Japanese movie news site: https://www.cinematoday.jp/news/N0088919 And here's Huffington Post's Japanese site: http://www.huffingtonpost.jp/2017/01/13/mitsuya-yuji-coming-out_n_14142826.html |

I'm very happy to hear that he can finally live as who he truly is. I am deeply saddened that the toxic culture and society within which he lives compelled him to closet himself for so long.
