==Sexual misconduct allegation and ban==

On the early morning of July 2nd, 2020, amidst a [[2020 Super Smash Bros. sexual misconduct allegations|wave of sexual harassment allegations in the community]], a [[Twitter]] user by the name of Error: 102-R accused Keitaro for having sex with {{Sm|Shiva}} - who was a minor - during {{Trn|2GG: Hyrule Saga}} <ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/ER120R/status/1278577762022748161|title=Initial post on Keitaro}}</ref>. On the same morning, Keitaro would release a Twitlonger confirming the allegation. He stated that he and Shiva participated in a drinking game and that she started acting sexual towards him, while Keitaro decided to follow through; he emphasized in his post that there were no excuses for his behavior. He also announced that he was moving out of the Loft and was going to leave for a long time in order to work on himself and deactivated his Twitter account<ref>{{cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200702101449/https://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sra54f|title=Keitaro's statement (archived on the Wayback Machine)}}</ref>.

**"LESGO!" means that whenever Keitaro clutches a game or beats Nairo, he would exclaim this word. This was originally said by {{Sm|Abadango}} when he came to Mexico for Smash Factor and did {{SSBU|Hero}} ditto with Keitaro.
