Bandai is considering the future of Toru Furuya's transformation into "Amuro"

Voice actor Toru Furuya is a household name for his voice acting of "Amuro". Recently, due to scandals involving cheating, violence and mental PUA, many of his endorsement works have distanced themselves from him. Only his representative work "Amuro" remains undecided. Japanese media directly consulted Bandai Namco, and Bandai said it is carefully considering it.

In Japan, Toru Furuya is synonymous with "Amuro", and his influence is far beyond the reach of other famous characters he has played. It is estimated that Bandai's undecided considerations are based on this. In response to inquiries from Japanese media, Bandai stated that considering the influence of the character of Amuro in the Gundam universe and the impact on the worldview, it is currently carefully considering whether to replace Toru Furuya. No conclusion has been made yet and no comment can be made.
