Digital Phablet – Just hours after the Gachiakuta anime received three awards, manga artist Kei Urana deleted her X (formerly Twitter) account following a disagreement with fans after sharing a Jabber dance video on Instagram.
While many fans viewed the video positively, some accused Urana of “racism” because the clip showed a Japanese man mimicking Jabber’s hairstyle by gluing leeks to his head to resemble dreadlocks.
A social media user commented on X, “Watching Kei Urana block people on her professional account just because they rightfully criticized her after she reposted some racist nonsense on her story…”
Conversely, a supporter defended Urana, stating, “This is not what I wanted to see. Kei Urana, the creator of GACHIYAKUTA, just deactivated her account after facing heavy harassment from parts of her fandom—right after winning several major awards. I’m genuinely disappointed. She did nothing wrong.”

In response to the criticism, Urana began blocking fans who sent hateful comments, which ultimately led to her account being deactivated.
Before taking this step, she explained that the chaos on X was impacting her creative process. She is known as one of the few manga artists who actively engages with her fanbase and remains quite active on social media.
She also shared a lengthy story on Instagram, stating, “This is a quote from a dance video that recreates the scene using hair to look like a leek. I apologize if it offended anyone. I will delete the quote.” She clarified that she shared the dance purely because it was entertaining and had no intention of mocking any culture.
Urana added, “I’m thrilled to see many people recreating Jabber’s ‘dance’ and Zanka’s ‘falling down’ in such a fun and creative way, so I often like their posts.”
It’s worth noting that Urana continues to stay active on Instagram, regularly posting updates, artwork, and news, and occasionally going live.
