A message from our President:
It brings me great pleasure to have Mr. Toru Ikejiri join our team. One of the constant hurdles we face putting on this show are the cultural barriers that we face as a North American convention communicating with Japan. As such, having Mr. Ikejiri, (with his wealth of experience and knowledge) stationed in Japan will undoubtedly bridge that gap and bring Japan even closer to us.
