After the Weekly Bunshun tabloid newspaper reported about his extramarital affair in October, Sakurai did not attend the Jump Festa '23 event in December as originally planned.
The staff of GoRA and King Records' original anime project Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds announced earlier this year that they are replacing Sakurai with Kōsuke Toriumi as the voice of Haruaki Karuma, one of the anime's main characters.
Twin Engine announced in February that the Mononoke anime film has been delayed and that Sakurai will no longer reprise the role of the Medicine Seller protagonist as originally planned. The film was previously slated to premiere this year.
Sakurai ended his contract with his talent agency Intention in March.
