 Seiyuu Daisuke Ono announced on Monday that he has left the Mausu Promotion talent agency, to which he has belonged since 2002. Moving forward, he will continue to work as a freelance seiyuu.Prior to the decision to leave the agency, Ono had been affiliated with Mausu Promotion for the entirety of his professional career. Ono notes that, counting his time in its training school, he was affiliated with the agency for 17 years. He also briefly attended a training school under the Aoni Production agency. Ono has received four Seiyuu Awards in his career, twice as Best Actor in 2010 and 2015, once as Best Supporting Actor in 2008, and a radio personality award shared with Hiroshi Kamiya in 2015. A new official website with Ono's work portfolio opened on Monday. Official site: http://www.daisukeono.com/ Source: Mausu Promotion |
| Oh freelancer status now. Well, I hope he finds some decent roles in the future. I really enjoy his work from DRRR! |
 |
| I wonder if this is good or bad. . .. I-it can't be bad, right? |
 |
| Babe <3 I really hope this isn't going to hurt his career in any way Does he explain why he's quitting the agency? |

| I do not know enough about the seiyuu world to even have this opinion, but he seems like he is a big enough name to get roles based on past work alone. He should not need an agency to arrange things. |
| Considering his popularity, I doubt that being freelancer can do any harm his to career at this point. Yet it still pretty strange for a seiyuu to go freelancing. Most likely he will join other agency afterwards. Also, now when I think of it, Miyuki Sawashiro also left Mausu recently. I wonder if something's going on there. |

| A noob question but what is a freelancer? |
  |
| Well, through these 17 years he built his own concrete base as a professional seiyuu. If he discussed this decision with Kamiya-sama then everything is gonna be daijobu ;) <3 |
| Ara Ara~ |

| Heh, he has Jotaro and Juushimatsu in his new voice sample. |
| Doesn't really matter as long as he retains his current roles. I hope to hear him in Handa-kun. |
Send nudes |
| Well as long as he gets to keep the roles he's already worked in and I continue to see him in new roles in the future, he is by far one of my favourite voice actors. I wish him the best in his freelance career. |

'Indie artist' refers to the lack of a tie to a publisher. (So they are self-published) Many indie artists can and do have agents/ agencies, however. So it's not the same thing. |
 |
| Oh, good. First I thought that he quit being a seiyuu, and would've cried. His voice is godly. |
| Juushimatsuuuu <3 |
| That was a bad move... The Japanese Illuminati are gonna get mad and ruin his career. |
 |
| Got scared for a moment thinking he quit voice acting all together. He is a popular seiyuu so i hope he'll do good as a freelancer :3 |
| Omg !! :O I was gonna passed away just now.. Thought he left ... Was quitting his career as a Voice Actor... :3 He can't, will never Quit... >.< I hope he still continues being an awesome Voice Actor... Love his voice.. need more animes with Main Character with his Voice ^_^ Omg!! Go Ono ♥ |
 |
| He should be fine. If I'm not mistaken, Takahiro Sakurai is also a freelancer and he seems to be doing just fine, so I have no worries about Ono's career........hopefully. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |

| Ono D is one if the most popular seiyuu so I don't think this will ruin his career at all. Well we'll see. |

| Oh thank goodness! I thought, like many others, he was going to quit voice acting altogether. So glad that isn't the case! Well, I hope he's successful as a freelancer! I'm rooting for you, Ono-san! |
  |
| Just keep coming back to do Sebby and it's all good! |
| I almost had a heart attack when I saw him in the news feed. Thank heavens its not bad news. I expect that everything will continue to go well for him. And now that Handa Sei is making a comeback to our screens in Handa-kun (kyaaaa!!! Too excited!!) I hope Ono senpai will still voice him. Handa in anime won't be Handa in anime without him. |
hahaha Naru, also how I felt when I learned how to read all my Kana. Barakamon is everything!!:'D |
| i love ono! i hope he made the right choice...i want to hear more of him! D: |
 |
| Doesn't this mean that he doesn't have to give part of his pay for roles to the agency? This should be a good thing for him. I wish him luck and lots of good roles in the future!! |
