It was reported on May 13, 2015 that Ōyama was living with dementia, putting any future work on hold. This notably prevented her from reprising her role as Monokuma in any further episodes of the anime series Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School.[1] Her ongoing roles were taken over by Wasabi Mizuta (Doraemon) and Tarako (Monokuma).
