COLUMBUS, OHIO – JULY 3, 2024 – Matsuricon is pleased to announce another exciting guest of honor for our upcoming convention Tricks & Treats: Toshifumi Yoshida!
Toshi has spent more than half his life reading comic books and watching cartoons for a living. His time in the industry has finally reached the span of three decades. He has worked on an anime magazine called ANIMAG, spent 12 years producing anime at Viz Media, and two years as a producer at Bandai Entertainment. Of course, he’s also been translating manga all the while.
Toshi’s credits include producing the English-language versions of “Ranma ½,” “InuYasha,” and “Gurren Lagann,” as well as manga translations for Dark Horse Comics‘ “Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service.” He is currently the Animation Localization Manager for The Pokémon Company International overseeing the production of Pokémon TV series, movies, and specials into English. He is currently working on Pokémon: Horizons, which launched on Netflix earlier this year.
This is Toshi’s second appearance at Matsuricon and he is happy to be back. He’s looking forward to hanging out again with everyone this year.
This year’s convention runs August 30-September 1st. Matsuricon can’t wait to host such a marvelous guest at this year’s con . . . or to see you there!
