东京法院在涉及一位日本知名动漫声优的里程碑式案件中，裁定对人类声音提供法律保护。东京——东京法院在具有里程碑意义的案件中裁定，对人类声音给予法律保护。该案中，一位日本知名动漫声优要求TikTok关闭一个账号，该账号未经授权使用了其标志性男中音的AI克隆版本。
A Tokyo court has awarded legal protection for the human voice in a landmark case involving a popular Japanese anime voice actor TOKYO -- A Tokyo court has awarded legal protection to the human voice in a landmark case in which a popular Japanese anime voice actor demanded that TikTok close an account over its unauthorized use of artificial intelligence clone of his trademark baritone.
东京地方法院周三作出的这一裁决，是日本首次承认个人对其声音享有的权利。对于众多动漫声优而言，这一裁决是利好消息，因为他们日益担忧社交媒体上使用其声音的AI生成版本。
The Tokyo District Court's decision Wednesday was the first acknowledgment of the right to one's voice in Japan. The ruling was good news for many anime voice actors at a time when they are increasingly concerned about the use of AI-generated versions of their voices on social media.
原告津田健次郎是一位演员，因在热门动漫系列《咒术回战》中饰演七海建人等角色而闻名，其声音被形容为“光泽且深沉”。
The plaintiff, Kenjiro Tsuda, is an actor best known for his “lustrous and deep” voice in starring characters such as Kento Nanami in “Jujutsu Kaisen,” a popular anime series.
在诉讼中，津田表示，TikTok账号“Nanami”的匿名运营者通过用他的声音为超过180个关于都市传说和超自然现象的视频进行旁白来吸引观众，从而不当获利，并要求删除这些材料。
In his lawsuit, Tsuda said that the anonymous operator of the TikTok account “Nanami" wrongfully profited by attracting viewers with his voice narrating in more than 180 videos about urban legends and paranormal phenomena, and asked for the material to be deleted.
根据美联社看到的一份法庭文件，主审法官高桥绫表示：“人类的声音象征着个人个性，就像一个人的肖像一样。”
“The human voice is symbolic of individual personality, just like one's portrait," Presiding Judge Aya Takahashi said, according to a court document seen by The Associated Press.
高桥法官称，考虑到未经授权使用津田声音且明显意图利用其声音的商业吸引力，这构成“对公开权（肖像权/姓名权等 publicity rights）的侵犯”。
It is appropriate to consider the unauthorized use with an obvious intention to take advantage of the commercial appeal of Tsuda's voice “an infringement of publicity rights,” Takahashi said.
截至2025年11月，该账号拥有超过20万名粉丝，观众经常指出旁白声音与津田声音之间的相似性。
As of November 2025, the account had more than 200,000rs, with viewers often noting the similarities between the narrator's voice and Tsuda's.
被告辩称，视频使用的是听起来像津田但并非其本人的AI生成声音，且这些视频并未损害该声优作为配音演员的声誉。
The defendant argued that the videos used AI-generated voice that sounded like Tsuda's but was not his, and that the videos did not damage the actor's reputation as a voice actor.
该裁决驳回了津田要求删除所有使用其声音的视频的请求，因为该账号已经被关闭。
The ruling dismissed Tsuda's demand that all the videos using his voice be deleted, because the account had already been closed.
周三做出的这项决定，正值日本配音演员对动漫中标志性声音被人工智能克隆的担忧日益加剧之际。
Wednesday's decision comes at a time of growing concern among Japanese voice actors about the AI cloning of their trademark voices in anime.
2024年，OpenAI宣布计划停止使用其ChatGPT的一款语音，此前电影《她》的演员斯嘉丽·约翰逊称该声音与她本人的声音“惊人地相似”。
In 2024, OpenAI announced plans to halt the use of one of its ChatGPT voices after “Her” actor Scarlett Johansson said it sounded “eerily similar” to her own.
去年，奥斯卡获奖演员迈克尔·凯恩和马修·麦康纳与语音克隆公司ElevenLabs达成协议，允许其人工智能技术复制他们的声音。
Last year, Oscar-winning actors Michael Caine and Matthew McConaughey made deals with voice-cloning company ElevenLabs to allow its AI technology to replicate their voices.
