I was messaging Akabane up till 2 days ago, when he said that he would say no more to anyone at all. Now, he just reacts with 
on my messages.
Here are the main snippets:

They seem to be fake.
The ones I signed at Sean’s request seemed authentic.
You probably shouldn’t get involved.
Also, I’m fed up with official complaints coming my way again. Sean said he intended to treasure them for life and wouldn’t put them up for auction.

It seems I’m going to get dragged into this.
It’s a troublesome situation.
I only signed them at Sean’s request, and when Matt asked me to confirm, I told him there was a possibility of fakes, copies, or data leaks…

In the past, Sean asked me to come and teach him about the history, and I was filmed, but I prohibited them from publishing it. I feel like I’ve been tricked.

These seem like printouts for design style guides, and they appeared authentic.
It involves confidential information, so I can’t talk without an agreement. But too many people easily break those agreements.
If trust can’t be built, I can’t talk.
I feel I have an obligation to share the correct history, but because the official side is also responsible for the leaks, they don’t allow me to speak.
I’ve decided I won’t talk to anyone anymore.

Of course, he is an unreliable source, given what has transpired. The sheets with his signature that he claimed looked authentic are proven to be printed in 2024 here.
In addition, many of those who met with him through Kimura, such as steady.collect or Marco, picked up cards at the meeting that were printed in 2024, which he signed and obviously profited from.
