Yeah, the guy who voiced the playable Chinese-speaking beat cop in Yakuza 4 was accused (I don't believe he was ever convicted) of using cocaine. Since they used his voice AND likeness for the character, said character was never mentioned in the franchise after that game, despite the other player characters still showing up. They even re-cast the character (likeness and all) for the remaster. --- http://i.imgur.com/0APl48O.gifv <cite>El_Marsh posted [p:979862556] in Japanese v...
