Megumi Ogata, the iconic Japanese voice actress, has been super active on X (formerly Twitter) lately, jumping into discussions and retweeting everything from hilarious "EVA color scheme" posts to recent "Jujutsu Kaisen" buzz. And today (9/19), she stumbled upon a minor gaffe online that had everyone, including her, cracking up, with fans chiming in, "It's her, alright!"
The official "Jujutsu Kaisen" X account dropped a trailer for "Jujutsu Kaisen The Movie: Shibuya Incident Special Edit" x "Culling Game Advance Screening." But here's the kicker: in the YouTube video description, it seems the official team accidentally listed the voice actor for Yuta Okkotsu as "Megumi Ogata: Megumi Ogata" instead of "Yuta Okkotsu: Megumi Ogata." Ogata herself caught the slip-up, tweeting her confusion and even adding the hashtag "#OgataIsOgataBut" (緒方は緒方だけど).
Fans in the replies were equally amused, with some playfully exclaiming, "Starring herself, congrats!" complete with the famous "Congratulations!" scene from "Neon Genesis Evangelion." Others brought up Shouta Aoi's meta appearance as himself in "Pop Team Epic," while one witty user suggested, "It should be Megumi Ogata (CV: Yuta Okkotsu)!" While it was just a small error, Ogata spotting it and sparking such a flood of creative fan responses definitely turned into a massive promotional win, right? XD
