Voice actress Megumi Ogata, known for iconic roles like Kurama in "Yu Yu Hakusho," Shinji Ikari in "Neon Genesis Evangelion," and more recently, Yuta Okkotsu in "Jujutsu Kaisen," just turned 60 this year and is still going strong in the industry!
However, today (September 19), Ogata shared a hilarious and utterly mortifying mishap: a "super embarrassing" message she accidentally sent to her personal trainer, leaving her "in despair." The post instantly went viral among fans.
Ogata wrote in her post: "I'm having a meltdown... I woke up in despair after sending this message to my personal trainer..." She then revealed the message: "Good morning, I'm on my way, might be a little late, arriving around 11:10. I still need to change, so please, 'be sexy' for me, thank you."
The phrase "やらしくお願いします" (Yarashiku Onegaishimasu) was meant to be "よろしくお願いします" (Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu), which means something like "please take care of me" or "I look forward to working with you." But with that one crucial typo, it morphed into the utterly bizarre and suggestive "please be sexy for me," leaving Ogata in utter despair.
She followed up with another post: "Update: My trainer totally burst out laughing. The training session was completely normal, but today's rented workout gear only had tight leggings, and my underwear lines were super obvious. So maybe it *was* a little 'sexy' after all (↑ channeling Misato Katsuragi's tone). I later found out those pants were size S... I powered through it. (The top was LL size)."
This bizarre and slightly mortifying experience had fans cracking up, with comments like: "That panic is so real," "At times like this, all you can do is smile (Rei Ayanami)," and "I literally burst out laughing lol."
While it was just a typo-induced misunderstanding, Ogata's willingness to openly share such an embarrassing moment has endeared her even more to fans. They see her as incredibly down-to-earth and fun-loving, a refreshing trait for such a seasoned and famous personality.
