Gackto Kristian K Takaida / Gacktstream / Kristian Kato / Kristian Tam / AZFoodGuy, the 38-year-old owner of Taiyou Con and mid-sized food tiktoker with a long history of creepy behavior and lying about his age, has been accused of sexual assault.
>Known in the Arizona convention community for over a decade as a predatory creep>Would regularly and knowingly hit on and discuss sexually explicit things with underage girls as young as 14 or 15>Would consistently lie to girls that he was 21, 18, or even younger, despite being in his mid-to-late 30s>As he gets older, the act becomes more and more "how do you do fellow kids" with each passing year and just reeks of a man who can't accept the passage of time>Would keep up this lie even in his long-term relationships, including with former cosplayer @itselectriclady whom he groomed as a teen and later cheated on>Would also lie about his real name and his race (claiming he was Japanese)
>Yesterday, a woman (from the k-pop scene, unsure if she has any connections to the convention community) made an FB post alleging that Gackto came up, groped, and began fingering her in the middle of a club>He responds, claiming that it was some other guy entirely who had been kicked out that night, and not him who had done it>Woman responds, saying that she remembers the guy that was kicked out but guarantees that she knows it was Gackto and that the assault happened after the other guy was kicked out>Many in the AZ convention community use this as the opportunity to finally condemn Gackto for all of his creepy (but up until now, non-illegal) behaviorSocial media:

Few examples of people from the allegation post literally saying that they've been waiting for a concrete allegation beyond his typical sketchy behavior

Post from his ex about the situation alleging grooming, lying, and cheating (anonymized because not on a public post and she's no longer a public figure). I believe she was 16 or 17 when they met but I don't know the EL saga too well.

More cringe from his facebook bio
Lastly, he also had a short MUA-guru-esque phase with a website and Facebook page and everything, targeted directly at Asian men, but I can't seem to remember the name. If anyone has any leads on this, I'd really appreciate it.
