I was lucky enough to catch Maya Okamoto (the voice actress of Orihime
Soletta of Sakura Taisen) wandering around the convention. So of
course I asked for a photo. :D
|
Kazuyoshi Katayama (director of The Big O), Hidenori Matsubara
(character designer for AMG and Sakura Taisen) and Maya Okamoto. I'm
afraid I don't know who the woman in front is. :( Again, they were
just standing around in the hotel so I asked to get a picture of
them. :)

It seems that both Maya Okamoto and Kouhei Tanaka were amused with my
antenna that's part of my Zack costume. When I first went up to Maya
Okamoto, she pointed at it and said kawaii! and wanted to
touch it. It was pretty funny actually. :) And you can obviously see
in the photo that Kouhei Tanaka liked my costume too. :)
