Voice Actor Max Mittelman to Be Guest at Otakon 2016

Baltimore, MD (July 1, 2016) – Voice actor Max Mittelman, who has voiced such characters as Inaho in "Aldnoah.Zero" and Kousei Arima in "Your Lie in April," will be a guest at Otakon 2016, according to Otakorp Inc.

For most of his young life, Mittelman had wanted to become a doctor. Once he realized, however, that he would need to study grown-up things like organic chemistry, he decided that he would rather be a voice actor. He never looked back and was most recently announced as the English voice of Saitama, the lead character in "One-Punch Man."

His other notable roles include: "Fire Emblem Fates" (Leo, Kaden, Forrest); "Star Ocean 5" (Fidel); "Seven Deadly Sins" (King); "Miraculous Ladybug" (Plagg); "Transformers: Rescue Bots" (Blurr); "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans" (Ein); "Mobile Suit Gundam: Thunderbolt" (Io); "Fallout 4" (Zeke); "Star Wars: Battlefront" (Quarren); "Halo 5" (Promethean Captain, Rooker); "Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void" (Stone); "Diablo III" (Rayeld, Crazed Hermit); "Skylanders: Superchargers" (Panderghast); "Durararax2" (Shijima); "Sword Art Online II" (Jun); "Blood Lad" (Yoshida the Mimic); "Magi: The Kingdom of Magic" (Yunan); "Toradora!" (Noto); "Doraemon" (Soby); "Coppelion" (Haruto) and "Atelier: Escha & Logy" (Logy).
