Time to make my requests that will never happen but I can pray for:

Buronson (Yoshiyuki Okamura)

Tetsuo Hara (would be amazing to have him and Buronson together!!)

Akira Kamiya

Nobutoshi Canna (Nobutoshi Hayashi)

Or honestly any of the hokuto no ken VAs would be great! I know Otakon had Shin's VA not too long ago (2022 was it?) and I would love to welcome him back too!

For English guests:

Khoi Dao

Steve Blum (always a lot of fun!)

Justin Cook (such a chill person, please bring him back!)

I posted these other places but I only have a couple suggestions:

Ray Chase, Max Mittelman, and Robbie Daymond, jointly of live stage show Loud, Annoying, and Very Annoying (L.A.V.A.). They were very fun to watch at Otakon in 2018 and come with an all-ages show and an 18+ show. 

MOS, a very cool all-female neo brass band who have a repertoire including anime and video game arrangements.

Now as seen on America's Got Talent: https://youtu.be/zlqZv4ZKY7I

Finally, T.M.Revolution seems to come around on the round numbered Otakons (Otakon 10 and Otakon 20), so it is probably time for him to make another appearance at Otakon 30.

I have a postcard I'm trying to complete of the English Cowboy Bebop cast and the only two I'm missing, and am requesting, are Melissa Fahn, and Skip Stellrecht. 🙏

I think it would be pretty cool to bring back some guests from the first few years of Otakon. Not sure how many are still active in the industry or con scene, but it would be a nice throwback. And maybe industry guests from anime that debuted or was super popular in '94.

They will have to break out the Bean Bandit, Lum, and Ranma standees again, and set up the Dealer's Closet.

There's only a few of us (probably less than a handful), left who were there at the time. :)

I would have to look, but don't think I took any pictures that year. If I did, they were on film and I was not very good with the camera.

Here lately I've been listening to a lot of Yuki Kajiura's work. It would be awesome to have her come to Otakon, maybe doing a concert with See-Saw or something with FictionJunction. Or even just as a guest for a panel or something.
