On the early morning of July 2nd, 2020, amidst a wave of sexual harassment allegations in the community, a Twitter user by the name of Error: 102-R accused Keitaro for having sex with Shiva - who was a minor - during 2GG: Hyrule Saga [4]. 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[5].
Following these allegations, the 2GGaming panel banned Keitaro from all of their future events, alongside several others accused of sexual misconduct during this time.[6]
Trivia[edit]
- Keitaro is well-known for his friendship with Nairo and a likable person on his streams due to his comedic and hyperbolic personality.
- Keitaro has several different catchphrases while playing. Examples include:
- "Catch one of these" is Keitaro's signature phrase whenever he shoots a projectile, such as Mii Brawler Shot Put, Snake up smash or Remote Missile, Link's Remote Bombs, or Mii Swordfighter's Chakram and Gale Strike. When he lands a hit, he would shout "YOU CAUGHT IT!"
- "Recover high, Keitaro!" is said whenever Keitaro tries to recover high with Snake's Cypher because he usually gets punished if he recovers low.
- "LESGO!" means that whenever Keitaro clutches a game or beats Nairo, he would exclaim this word. This was originally said by Abadango when he came to Mexico for Smash Factor and did Hero ditto with Keitaro.
