In a groundbreaking legal move, renowned Japanese voice actor Kenjirō Tsuda has sued the operator of TikTok.
在一項具開創性的法律行動中，知名日本聲優津田健次郎對 TikTok 的營運商提起了訴訟。
Tsuda, famous for iconic roles like Kento Nanami in Jujutsu Kaisen, claims that his signature deep, mellow voice was illegally cloned using generative AI in at least 188 videos.
以《咒術迴戰》中七海建人等指標性角色聞名的津田，聲稱其標誌性低沉且圓潤的嗓音，在至少 188 部影片中被生成式 AI 非法複製。
In response, TikTok’s operator has requested a dismissal, claiming the narrations used a generic male voice and were not intended to imitate the actor.
對此，TikTok 的營運商已請求駁回訴訟，聲稱影片中使用的是通用男性聲音，並無意模仿該演員。
This case is significant as it marks the first time in Japan that a celebrity has challenged AI voice impersonation in court.
此案意義重大，因為這是日本首次有名人就 AI 聲音冒用問題向法院提出挑戰。
With many performers worried about their identities being commodified by AI, the outcome of this lawsuit could set a vital legal precedent.
由於許多表演者擔心自身身分被 AI 商品化，這場訴訟的結果可能會樹立重要的法律先例。
As the industry watches closely, the first oral argument is scheduled for the summer of 2026, marking a critical moment for both technology regulation and creative rights.
隨著業界密切關注，首次言詞辯論預定於 2026 年夏季舉行，這對技術監管與創作權利而言，都是關鍵時刻。
