CATDOLL: "Weekly Shonen Jump" editorial department: Don't mistake the face of Bleach author Kubo Tite again! Otherwise we will take legal action

A few days ago, the author of Bleach, Kubo Tite, suddenly announced that he would temporarily delete his Twitter account, which immediately attracted heated discussions among netizens. This matter is not over yet. Last night (September 4), the editorial department of Shonen Jump issued a statement regarding the portrait rights of Kubo Tite.

Shonen Jump released a statement:

Attention: Regarding the image rights of manga artist Kubo Tite

Please pay attention.

We have discovered that on platforms including Twitter, portraits of completely different people or portraits that look like the cartoonist Kubo Tite are being introduced as the manga artist himself.

Such behavior has infringed upon the personal rights of Mr. Kubo Tite. In serious cases, we will have to take countermeasures including legal means, so please pay attention.
