The Anime Festival Asia convention announced on Tuesday that it will host voice actors Satoshi Tsuruoka, Tohru Furuya, and Saki Ono.
Tsuruoka made his major debut as a voice actor in the Hikarian - Great Railroad Protector anime in 1997, voicing the role of E4. He is voicing the role of Berserker of Red in the currently airing Fate/Apocrypha anime. He has also voiced roles for such anime as Hatsumei Boy Kanipan (BK), Medabots (Sumillidon), Tennis no Oujisama: Atobe Kara no Okurimono (Munehiro Kabaji), Fate/Zero (Caster), Maken-Ki! Battling Venus (Kengo Usui), Akame ga KILL! (Zank), A Good Librarian Like a Good Shepherd (Gizaemon), The Eden of Grisaia (Heath Oslo), and Big Order (Gennai Hoshimiya).
Furuya is perhaps best known for his role as Mobile Suit Gundam protagonist Amuro Ray. He also voiced Tuxedo Mask in Sailor Moon. Since his debut, Furuya has voiced roles in such anime as Kotetsu Zieg (Kotetsu Shiba), Shin Kyojin no Hoshi (Hyuma Hoshi), Swiss Family Robinson (Franz), Queen Millennia (Daisuke Yamori), Arcadia of My Youth: Endless Orbit SSX (Fader Zone), Harmagedon (Jō Azuma), Dragon Ball (Yamcha), Kimagure Orange Road (Kyosuke Kasuga), Saint Seiya (Pegasus Seiya), Marmalade Boy (Shin'ichi Namura), Dr. Slump (Suppaman), One Piece (Sabo), and Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (Ribbons Almark).

Ono made her first major role debut in the Himegoto anime as President Unko, and had her first leading role as protagonist Hakone in the Onsen Yōsei Hakone-chan anime in 2015.
