ROCHESTER, NY – March 31, 2008 – RIT Anime Club is pleased to announce two more guests for this upcoming Tora-Con 2008: voice actress Carrie Savage and Asu “DJ Asu” Medina!

Along with providing the voices to video game and anime characters alike, she also has a background in theater, and is a small time film actress.

Artist, DJ, studio owner, event consultant, and Asian Pop Culture activist, Asu “DJ Asu” Medina began his affair with anime over 15 years ago, partnering with America's first anime store, Anime FX. He founded the internationally recognized TenBu Productions, which has introduced America to such talents as unicorn table, Yunmao Ayakawa, Psychic Lover, and more. Under his DJ alias, “DJ Asu,” he created the first Asian pop music radio mix show on Otaku Life radio, spinning a continuous mix of Asian Pop music and Anime soundtracks while introducing new artists and music to the U.S. market and the world.
