Well, there is Todd Haberkorn. Just go to the main website and click on Guests. I'm sure more dub actors will be announced in due time.

I noticed on your Twitter page a few days ago that the voice actor Masaya Matsukaze will also be a guest this year. Why hasn't that been announced on your main website yet?

Rest in peace, Takahata-san. You'll be missed.

Well, Yui gave birth to twins a couple of years ago, so I'm kinda doubtful on her, alas. If not for that, I'd be requesting her too.

Okay, I guess it's time to throw my hat into the ring. I'm fully aware that plenty of the names I'm about to toss out here don't stand a snowball's chance in hell of making it here, but here goes. Voice actors (Japanese): Kouichi Yamadera Unshou Ishizuka Kotono Mitsuishi Aya Hisakawa Emi Shinohara Miki Itou Michie Tomizawa Sayaka Ohara Miyuki Sawashiro Shizuka Itou Rina Satou Satomi Arai Ryuunosuke Kamiki Miyu Irino Yukari Tamura Natsuki Hanae Kana Hanazawa Toshihiko Seki Soma Saitou Sora Amamiya Haruka Tomatsu Yuuki Kaji Ami Koshimizu Voice Actors (North American): Crispin Freeman Colleen Clinkenbeard Tara Sands Cristina Vee Bryce Papenbrook Shelley Calene-Black Jerry Jewell Monica Rial Corey Hartzog Patrick Seitz Erica Mendez Mary Elizabeth McGlynn Creators/Authors/Directors: Sayo Yamamoto Kunihiko Ikuhara Yoshiyuki Asai Michiko Yokote Yoh Yoshinari Masahiko Otsuka Range Murata Hakua Ugetsu Yoshiaki Kawajiri Mitsuo Iso Hiromasa Yonebayashi Ichiro Itano Hiroyuki Imaishi Akitaro Daichi Shinichiro Watanabe Musicians: The 5 6 7 8s Guitar Wolf SiD Whew! There you go, folks. Let the chips fall where they may.

OK, time to throw my hat into the ring. My first Otakon was 2010. I've been a full-fledged otaku ever since I first attended my college's anime club during my senior year, and have been attending cons since 2004 (Anime USA). I'd been seriously thinking about going to Otakon for years, but refrained from attending because it kept coinciding with my hometown's annual summer street festival which always takes place the first weekend in August. Starting in 2010, however, Otakon changed up its schedule which meant no more conflict, so I was finally free to attend. I've been hooked ever since!

Well, if this really is your break, then make the most of it. We'll miss you, man.

I just got my badge today, yay! I'd been at the Red Cross donating blood platelets, and I got back home just in time to catch the mailman as he was driving past so I could sign for it.
