Controversy
On April 19, 2016, Japanese conservative fan Yuuken SS (ユウケンSS, Thunder Yuuki) circulated a rumor on Twitter that Chinese and Korean people were looting Kumamoto following the April 14, 2016 earthquake, and appealed to people to establish vigilantes parties with hunting guns. He was going to participate Kemoket as the representative of his Pokemon doujinshi group, 携帯獣愛護会.

On April 22, 2016, he apologized for his claim, alleging that he was under the delusion that left-wing anti-racists (called "Counter" or "Shibaki-Tai" in Japanese) would assault him at Kemoket, appealing for help on Twitter while consulting the police.

On April 25, 2016, he appealed to other like minded people, like Japanese mangaka Toshiko Hasumi (a known conservative manga artist and comfort women denier), to support him and Kemoket from an attack of Japanese counters, which resulted on the rumor of anti-racists assault not only would take action against Yuuken SS, but also other participants as well.

On April 27, 2016, Kemoket banned Yuuken SS from the event. On 3 May, Kemoket 5 was held without disruption.
