Cw / NSFW, Grooming, Manipulation, Shipping of an IRL minor and adult
This thread is a list and commentary concerning the inappropriate interactions between @kirishinkou (Taku) and @AraiKaji (Kaji) (30+ year olds) and I (17).
(In doc form: https://tinyurl.com/y28mka4m )

I’ll preface this by saying if you do not know who Taku and Kaji are or their previous disturbing behaviors you need to read out this thread by @mochiishiima going in depth with her and other anonymous minors’ experiences: https://twitter.com/MochiiShiima/status/1315370757636194306?s=20

//A brief relationship history
Before Taku nor Kaij had ever directly spoken to me we had been mutuals. I am not sure the specific date they followed me nor I followed them back. On August 12th of this year, is when Taku asked me to join a private server. I was 16.

The server was known as ‘krbk lads’ and Kaji, Taku’s s/o, was a moderator there. I joined with little intention to ever be active, but found myself to be very active once I saw my main friend group there. From here, I will refer to this ‘main friend group’ as the “Wolfe Gang”.

//Note
Before I continue, I will not dwell on instances I do not have direct evidence of, but I will list what I remember specifically. I will also list these events in order to the best of my ability.
Also be mindful that I’m dyslexic, I’m writing to the best of my ability.

//The shipping, “**lfe”
In general, I tend to be very affectionate with the Wolfe Gang, it’s just how we interact with each other. Taku’s first experience witnessing this was between me and a friend, who will remain anonymous. It is important to know this person is 2 years older+

+than me. At the time, I was 16 and they were 18. Taku had made a joke directed at us implying me and the other person dating. I, of course, said that wasn’t the case, going as far to point out our 2 year age difference which Taku replied that it wasn’t ‘that bad of an age gap’.

I believe in the same conversation, Taku made up a ship name for us, I’ll refer to it as “**lfe”.
This was not a one time joke, over the next few months of relations with Taku, **lfe was a running joke(?); although soon later it was taken too far.

//Poor moderation
This is one of my loosest memories. I briefly remember a time in the server where some of the minors started talking about NSFW(for a reason I don’t remember), and Kaji(a moderator) let it happen while, I’m pretty sure, Taku chipped in.

//On asking for my NSFW priv
CW / Vague NSFW talk
This is probably the one thing that has been stopping me from coming out about any of this. I am so deeply embarrassed that I let this happen and it’s something I still blame myself for.

For a while, I have had a secret private NSFW account that I have not shared or mentioned to anyone outside the Wolfe Gang. As soon as I made it, I put it on priv. I’ve only ever talked about my own NSFW drawings as well as retweet art and threads.

Taku had found out about this account when I had accidentally followed an account Taku made called @DailyMarshalAC(now deleted) with my NSFW priv. They had made the Marshal page for me after I expressed how sad I was that another marshal account I followed had stopped posting.

I stupidly had made the banner a drawing I had done of Kirishima... Taku dm’d me on Discord about it asking if they could follow the account. Recently when I went to find the dm again I found that they had deleted their entire half of the conversation. Here’s both:

I’d like to additionally point out how insanely disgusting it is for this 30+ year old to say to me, someone who just barely turned 17 that they didn't want to “wait a full year to see” my NSFW art. Also how blatantly a lie it is that they “barely” draw NSFW.

//The MochiiShiima situation
On September 8th, there was a raid on the krbk lad’s server. Kaji and Taku were convinced that Mochii had sent bkdks to spam the private server to “ruin Taku’s birthday”. Kaji told me about this paranoia after the raid. In the same conversation+

+she told me of the ‘entire’ situation between them and Mochii, though steering VERY clear of the grooming. Instead, Kaji focused on the tracing, which she knew there had been a bit of drama between Mochii and one of my friends concerning copying art(all which was cleared up)

The reason I’m including this in this thread is because Kaji has well over 10 years of adult-ing experience. It’s common sense that you do not unleash your emotions on a minor and say that you ‘trust them’ enough to do so. This is extremely manipulative and happened often.

Unfortunately, because of the order these events took place, I already had lots of trust and respect for both Kaji and Taku that when I confronted Mochii about “tracing” I didn’t believe anything she had told me about the grooming.

//The new server, krbk Realm
After the raid Taku, Kaji, and their friends were dissatisfied with moderation and made a new server. I had helped a lot with the creation of this server. Having been running my own, I had offered assistance with rules and later becoming a mod

Everything there was well and innocent aside for 1 thing. There was a very confusing “16+ channel” which Taku described as basically a place for softcore or even censored porn. I was very naive and took the bait, even posting my own works there sometimes.

//The 18+ Channel
CW / NSFW, Potential distribution of porn to minors
On September 21st, Taku and Kaji approached me in the mod channel asking if I wanted to be part of the 18+ channel in krbk Realm. I naively said I didn’t mind

I don’t have the best history between having adult friends and sharing NSFW content between said friends- it’s just the way it's always been(though I’m severely more careful now and the Wolfe Gang is nearly all my age). So I really didn’t think anything of this.

Taku a few minutes later asked the partitipants in the 18+ channel about me being in there(unfortunately I don’t have a screenshot of the initial message). But I do have screenshots of Taku and Kaji talking about me in the conversation in inappropriate ways.

From the conversation, here is Kaji talking about how “adult anime art” is not equated to porn, which is exponentially untrue. Porn is porn, you do not share it with minors. You are over 30 and have been present in fandoms for nearly or over 20 years, you know this.

Here’s Taku justifying their words by claiming I’m “more mature than most adults on anitwt” and saying that calling me a kid is “rude” despite the fact that that's literally what I am. Here is also Taku being well aware of exactly how old I was(my birthday is September 5th).

//**lfe part 2
CW / NSFW art, BDSM
Like I said early, **lfe never stopped.. It got worse and worse and it was even to the point where me and the other party couldn’t express concern or care for the other because it was an “**lfe moment”.

One of Kaji’s favorite **lfe moments was when we all played Among Us. The second half and I usually played close together, it was a fun way to play because it was always a huge surprise when one of us was imposter and killed the other.

CW / NSFW art
When I played Among Us I made my nickname “dog”(a nickname I’ve since kept obviously). On September 27th, for some sick and twisted reason, this prompted Kaji to draw softcore BDSM petplay art of my friend and my fursonas.

Kaji was insanely embarrassed about this piece, only sending it for a minute before deleting it from the channel we were talking in. Kaji knew this was gross and did it anyway, claiming she “didn’t realise the implications till after she finished”.

The thing is, Kaji has drawn a piece almost exactly like this with Taku and her OCs. There is no way she was telling the truth there.

//”Whoops sorry for sending porn, kids”
CW / NSFW
I will use this section to describe two separate random occasions of Taku’s creepy-ness and exposing minors to nsfw.

The first was in my own public server. Taku had been working on an NSFW piece for a krbk zine and was talking to us about their progress while we were in the voice chat. They had sent a cropped version of their work to the channel we were in and I deleted it immediately.

CW / NSFW of minors
The second was in krbk Realm. Taku sent a picture of middle school krbk making out. The drawing was strange enough on its own but was left there for a while till we noticed literally both boys had erections on the bottom of it.Taku had nothing to say about it

//Conclusion
While Mochii’s initial callout was months ago, I only bring this up now because of Taku’s recent activity on their main account and I worry that they’ll become more active in this fandom

I have been deeply struggling to come to terms that what has happened to me was bad. Taku and Kaji came off as so nice to me, they genuinely helped me get out of an increasingly toxic relationship with old friends. And that on top of me moderating for them+

+I felt like I had to defend them. I ended up hurting people around me because of that. Once I became very aware of how I was harming people, I internalized everything Taku and Kaji did as my own fault. I’m still working my way out of that.

Please heed this thread. It’s insanely important that Taku and Kaji do not receive support. They are insanely predatory and manipulative.
