Appearing as Captain Gordon in the Japanese production of GODZILLA: FINAL WARS; he commands the Goten and allies with Godzilla in ways never before imagined. This 2004 movie entry-- amd coda of long loved daikaiju series-- was a stellar addition to the legend that is Godzilla.

With a voice that is hard to forget, Don will be doing a reading at the Saturday evening cabaret to entertain the fans.

    Bob Eggleton has a long list of credits in the Godzilla community, from his outstanding artistic renderings of the greatest kaiju of all, to his seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of the minutia and intricacies of the Godzilla legends.

Bob will lead discussion groups and panels in the programming section of the Anime Kaiju Experience, where Godzilla fans can talk about their favorite daikaiju. Vic Mignogna`s career is without a doubt one of a very active performer. Vic’s been a voice actor in the fantastic kaiju film GAMERA 3: REVENGE OF IRIS. In addition to his famous work as the voice of Edward Elric in FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, he’s had the duty of bringing to life one of the anime screens biggest heart throbs, Tamaki Suou from OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB. The OURAN HSHC English adaptation of the anime will premiere at the Anime Kaiju Experience.
