In March 2019, Taki was arrested on suspicion of cocaine use and his latest video game, Judgment, was withdrawn from sale by the publisher, Sega.[3][14] His appearance has been removed in the Western release.[15] He was later released on bail on April 4, 2019.[16] After he admitted to using cocaine, the Tokyo District court sentenced him to eighteen months in prison, suspended for three years.[17]

His voice acting roles were also replaced such as Olaf from Frozen.[18][19] Home video releases of Frozen were removed in Japan.[20]

Since then, Shunsuke Takeuchi became the new Japanese dub voice of Olaf.
