AmeCon is proud to announce our guest line up for AmeCon 2010. This year we will be graced with the presence of Brad "I'm not Kira - honest" Swaile and resident Japanese culture expert Akemi Solloway. Here's a little information about our guests:
Brad Swaile
In central Vancouver, born and raised. Brad began acting in Elementary school and would be for the rest of his days - Okay we'll stop with that. But yes, Vancouver born Brad started his voice acting career at a young age with his first major role in a children's TV series. He later landed several anime roles as Mousse from Ranma 1/2 and several characters from various Gundam series (Amuro, Quatre, Dearka and Auel). He has also played Adult Gohan in Dragon Ball Z (Uk & Canada dubs) and more recently played the devious mastermind Yagami Light in both the DeathNote anime and live action movie. You can read up more about Brad and his work on his Wikipedia Page.
Akemi Solloway
No stranger to AmeCon, Akemi Solloway will be returning in 2010 for more amazing Japanese culture panels. For those who have never met Akemi before, she's the daughter of an old Japanese samurai family and grew up with strong traditional values. Since then, she has studied several oriental tradition and etiquete subjects and is a lecturer and consultant in this area. She is also the organiser of the Japanese Art Festival and founder of AJAMCA, the Anglo-Japanese Anime and Manga Cultural Association.
Hi everyone! Word reaches us from Chrissie and our other pals at the Donna Louise Trust that they’ve just kicked off a pretty big week of goings-on. They’re involved in a partnership with other such organisations across the country, Children’s Hospices UK.
