Currently, Koza is. being held without bail at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. Police said they made the arrest along with the Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce. Koza is expected to submit to his hearing in early March 2021.
Koza is best known as a manga translator within fashion and also uses aliases like Steady and Steady Studios for his online projects. Koza started translating recently Jujutsu Kaisen for Viz Media, but the suspect also does English translations for other titles such as Viz Media Tokyo Shinobi Squad, Let’s learn, and more.
Viz Media has not commented on the situation at this time.
For fans of Jujutsu Kaisen, this update is a surprise, but creator Gege Akutami has absolutely no part of this ordeal. The Japanese creator is completely set aside from the translation efforts of his manga. Akutami began publishing Jujutsu Kaisen in March 2018, and has popularized its popularity thanks to the release of its anime. The first season of the show has finished its debut arc and will begin to adapt to the second in the light of the new year.
