That being said, if you have a tweet from Tappei claiming ownership of the account it would be a different story.

Edit: Either way, I just asked a friend of mine who speaks Japanese to send a message to that user. If it is really Tappei, that would be hilarious. Hilarious? Is it really so unbelievable that I do my research? This is the same profile Tappei uses to upload images to his WN Narou blog. He actually has two profiles on the site for some reason, which he uses to post concept art and other stuff.

Notice anything funny about the image link there?

It's from the same Mitemin account. I just followed the link back to its source to the profile, and found a higher resolution version of the same image on the profile.

That's what's hilarious. It's Tappei's own account. Though I doubt your friend is going to get a message back, since he literally just uses it to upload images for his blog.

My guess is that it's a fan who found the images and made slight modification to them. I don't think a random fan would have access to pre-cropped and pre-scaled images. But I've already provided enough proof that the source is genuine.
