Masahiko Otsuka, the president of Studio Trigger, will return as a guest to Otakon 2024. He will be bringing with him animators Aoi Abe and Sae Otani, beknown recently for their work on “Delicious in Dungeon!”
Initially working in the live-action film industry, Otsuka joined the animation industry as assistant director for Studio Ghibli’s “Pom Poko” in 1992. He then moved on to Studio GAINAX, participating in many acclaimed titles such as “Neon Genesis Evangelion” (episode director) and “GURREN LAGANN” (co-director).
In 2011, Otsuka and Hiroyuki Imaishi left GAINAX to establish their own animation company, Studio TRIGGER. Otsuka has taken part in many of TRIGGER’s flagship titles such as “KILL la KILL,” “Little Witch Academia,” “PROMARE,” and most recently “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.”
Otakon 2024 will be held from August 2 to August 4 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
