On Saturday, Ronin-Expo delivered another exciting time at Los Angeles' Terasaki Budokan.
The one-day event celebrated anime and Asian culture, and various attendees came dressed as their favorite characters. Several voice actors attended to meet their fans and partake in some panels on the main stage, including a special Dragon Ball Z panel and contest featuring Stephanie Nadolny. Aside from panels involving voice actors, the main stage also featured live performances from Bubble Girl Experience, Viorhythm, Summoner’s Stories, and Maid Academy.
Inside the venue, fans checked out items at the artist alley and vendor hall and engaged in some friendly video game competition. Attendees were also able to compete against Nadolny in Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and voice talent Steve Staley and David Vincent in a game of Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
