Monday, June 3, 2002
Gundam creator will be official guest of Honor at Anime Expo New York.
After last weekend's announcement of Yoshiyuki Tomino at the BAAF, Anime Expo Con Chair Mike Tatsugawa has confirmed him as GOH at this year's AXNY: Anime Expo New York is proud to welcome back one of the first ever Anime Expo Guests of Honor, Mr. Yoshiyuki Tomino.
Mr. Tomino's credits date back to being part of the creative team behind TV's popular "Astroboy". However, it is as a creator that Mr. Tomino has distinguished himself. He is best known for shows such as "Reideen the Brave", and of course, the immortal "Gundam" series, which recently enjoyed its 20th anniversary celebration. Gundam's various spin-offs (including Tomino's own "Gundam Z," "Gundam ZZ," "Turn-A Gundam" and "Char's Counterattack") have enjoyed considerable success around the world and are considered classics by many anime fans. Tomino's other more recent works include "Brain Powerd" and "Garzey's Wing."
Mr. Tomino is appearing at Anime Expo New York courtesy of the Big Apple Anime Fest.
