For three days every summer, the citizens of Baltimore share the streets with an army of costumed nerds who flock to the city for Otakon. A festival of anime and Japanese nerd-culture where even the strangest costume can find a home. Otakon is a great convention with an excellent atmosphere and enough fun to cure any situation that ails you.

Zenkaikon is pleased to welcome actor, director, and writer Todd Haberkorn as a guest of honor at its 2011 convention. Mr. Haberkorn voices roles in many popular series including Ouran High School Host Club, Axis Powers Hetalia, and many others. He joins previously-announced guests Vic Mignogna and Greg Wicker on the Zenkaikon V guest roster.

Zenkaikon is pleased to announce voice actor and producer Vic Mignogna as a guest of honor at Zenkaikon V. “Mr. Mignogna has been our most frequently requested guest for Zenkaikon, and we are very excited to be able to have him at our upcoming convention,” says Kristyn Souder, Zenkaikon’s Head of Communications.

Otakon is an annual celebration of Japanese and East Asian popular culture, and one of the largest anime conventions in the United States. This fan-run convention keep growing, and attracted over 25,000 attendees in 2009. Because it is one of the bigger cons, if you want to attend you really should plan ahead. Otakon 2010 is taking place July 30 – August 1, 2010 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
