SaikouCon 2014 Welcomes Voice Actor Sonny Strait as a Guest of Honor
Convention Proud to have Fan Favorite VA Join in the Fun in 2014
2/14/14 Breinigsville, PA – SaikouCon, which means "best convention”, is the Lehigh Valley's first and only large scale, annual anime convention.
Boasting a dedicated staff of longtime Japanese anime and manga fans, SaikouCon is
excited to be the only annual convention dedicated exclusively to anime, manga, and Japanese culture and pop culture in this area of Northeast Pennsylvania.
The convention promises to remain very hands and attendee friendly every year, also maintaining a safe atmosphere for attendees to enjoy the convention to their carefree fullest. As always, Cosplay =/= Consent is a very important issue to the staff of SaikouCon, and the same rules and regulations that made SaikouCon 2013 a safe haven for cosplayers will be enforced just as strictly at SaikouCon 2014.
Joining SaikouCon 2014's rank of Guests of Honor is Sonny Strait! Sonny is best known for his starring dub roles as Krillin and Bardock in the Dragon Ball series and movies, Usopp in One Piece, Maes Hughes in both Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Arsene Lupin III in Lupin III. Sonny has also had many more starring and supporting character dub roles in over 40 anime and video game voice roles. Sonny is also an accomplished cartoonist and artist, his comic series We Shadows is example of his artistic talent and scripting abilities. His work on colors can currently be seen in Wendy and Richard Pini's latest Elfquest series, Elfquest: Final Quest presented by Dark Horse Comics.
