Not Momoi, This Japanese Cosplayer Chizu is Being Wrongly Accused by iShowSpeed Fans!

A serious misunderstanding in the cosplay community has caused trouble for a Japanese cosplayer who had nothing to do with the original drama. The issue started when a Chinese cosplayer dressed as Momoi that often cosplay Blue Archive characters made racist remarks toward popular streamer iShowSpeed. The video quickly went viral and sparked a wave of backlash online.

However, things took a surprising and unfair turn when another cosplayer—who happens to be Japanese named Chizu—was mistaken for the one involved. Without solid proof, some people began sending her hateful messages and even death threats. In response, she posted a clear statement to defend herself.

She explained that she’s from Japan, not China. She has never been to China, never met iShowSpeed, and has never cosplayed as Momoi. Despite this, many people online continued to call her a liar, refusing to believe her words.

The confusion reportedly came from a donation message claiming the racist cosplayer was actually Japanese, not Chinese. Because both cosplayers look somewhat similar and both enjoy Blue Archive characters, people jumped to conclusions. This mistake has caused serious stress for the innocent cosplayer who’s now dealing with harassment for something she didn’t do.

This situation is a reminder that rushing to judge someone without facts can have serious consequences. It’s important to always double-check information before spreading it, especially in sensitive cases like this where real people are affected.
