Essence of Fandom: Like a Dragon & Yakuza (what…no love for Judgment?) Experience will not only bring Series Chief Producer Hiroyuki Sakamoto, but also Kazuhiro Nakaya, the Japanese voice actor of Ichiban Kasuga and Akira Nishikiyama for a rare US appearance. The duo will be joined on stage by famed cosplayer/streamer/host VampyBitMe to chat about the franchise. In addition to this live interview, attendees of the event will be able to take photos with cosplayers, dance to memorable tracks from the long running franchise and even participate in the “Ichiban Karaoke Competition”. Attendees will even receive gifts upon arrival and are encouraged to cosplay as characters from the series.
As for how you can secure a ticket to the event. You will need a valid pass for Anime Expo (Either a Saturday or Weekend Pass) as it will be hosted at Lounge 21 which is inside the Los Angeles Convention Center. Tickets will go on sale Friday May 31st at 12pm PST/3pm EST on a site that will be revealed as the sales date draws near. All attendees must be 21+.
