Yui Hirasawa (平沢唯) is the main protagonist of the manga and anime series K-On!. She is depicted as a clumsy, yet optimistic and naturally talented musician, being the lead guitarist and vocalist for the Light Music Club and their band Ho-kago Tea Time (放課後ほうかごティータイム "After-School Tea Time").[1]
Content
At one point, fans of the character would search her name on Yahoo Japan, only to be greeted with two graphic images:
- A finger with an open wound bleeding onto a paper towel.
- A corpse with its head gouged out and hand-written "die."[2]
Background
The original photo was hosted on an image sharing website called Ura Uploader[3] during the year 2012. The site lacked strict safety rules or content moderation, allowing users to post graphic content such as gore and other explicit images.
Links to the images hosted on Ura Uploader would end up appearing on search engines, leading internet trolls to abuse this loophole and manipulate search results. Users would frequently name their files after popular characters to trick people into clicking on them. By deliberately misnaming a graphic gore image after Yui Hirasawa, ensured it would appear whenever unsuspecting fans looked her up. This same trick was used for other K-On! characters, such as the bassist Mio Akiyama for example. Thus, devoted fans of K-On! and various other anime would innocently search the names of their favorite characters on Yahoo, clicking links and eagerly expecting innocent fan art, only to instead be greeted with a shock image.
Related images
Must Not Search wiki cataloged various shock images associated with Yui Hirasawa, which included filenames such as Invasion Squid Girl.jpg, Girl.jpg, Nyameron.jpg, DSCN2401.JPG, 019.jpg, Viploader2d256460.gif, zzzzz.JPG, 297.jpg, 298.JPG, and vip.bmp. The images listed are depictions of gore, hentai or a screamer.[4]
