Apologies for the late update but I thought I'd share with you some of the photos I took at the Kinnikuman Carnival on Friday!!
So first up was a introduction by Yude followed by a sax performance of Go Fight! by current TV celeb, Kim Nikuman which was very funny. They followed up with a spotlight on two prominent pro-wrestlers and what growing up with Kinnikuman meant to them.
After that was a special appearance by Kinnikuman voice actor Akira Kamiya, which, if you're a fan of the anime, was amazing as he did loads of talking in the voice of Suguru which was amazing to hear first hand!
After that, there was an auction of various items, even a colored hand drawn portrait of "Woolman" a Chopin that, according to Shimada Sensei, will never see the light of day in the manga!!
There was a fascinating Q&A called "Deep of Muscle" which was about Kinnikuman and what lies in store for the future! This was VERY cool and my favorite part of the evening.
After that there was an appearance by some AKB48 member (yawn) which was swiftly followed by a Q&A with Akira Kamiya and the voice of Meat, Minori Matsushima.
In all it was a great night and I was only a little disappointed by the fact that Shimada Sensei Facebook mentioned me the following morning asking where I was because he wanted to say Hi!! If only I messaged him before the show started!! Damn my lack of forethought!!
