A couple of Sugoi Con's Japanese guests of honor (character designer Yoshinori
Kanemori and producer Masao Maruyama from Madhouse) were late in arriving,
but two others were at the Friday afternoon opening ceremonies. They were
horror manga artist Senno Knife... |
...and his wife, singer Nekoi Rutoto, who performs with the "Psy-Doll"
band in Japan. This site last encountered that couple at Anime North in
Toronto in May. |
A familiar voice to long-time English-speaking anime fans, but an unfamiliar
face at anime conventions: Reba West, the Lyn Minmay from the Americanized
"Robotech," was a Sugoi Con guest of honor. |
More familiar to Kentucky fans were Steve Bennett of I.C. Entertainment... |
...Robert DeJesus of Studio Capsule... |
...animator Scott Frazier... |
...translator Neil Nadleman... |
...and artist and actor Doug Smith. |
