That will take a bit of time to dig up. It was mentioned on this very thread multiple times and I believe sources were posted. I'll take a few days to read back and check it out because just looking on google is providing nothing.
After looking a bit just now, I'm not wondering if I simply heard it here (cause seriously, I don't trust anywhere else for info) and it became 'truth' for me. Either way, i'll look into it.
Edit
Okay so it's a bit of column A, Column B, and the new guest star Column C. So there's not direct source on this. No news article, nothing... what we do have is interesting and equally credible though.
I haven't tracked them down but apparently Nick and Ty mentioned Toei being unhappy with the vic situation... but unhappy with vic. So they're the main source... but a second source popped up. Vic himself.
Here's the video I found:

So yeah. There we go... our sources are Vic, Nick, and Ty. Certainly, under normal circumstances, not trustworthy because they benefit... but something occurred to make this believable if not true. Ryo pulled out of Kamehacon. That part was absolutely true and it was extremely sudden and had no reason beyond he had to.
So yeah. Maybe there is no concrete source that this is true... but a lot of circumstances point to it being more truth than lie.
