Voice Actress Aya Hirano to Attend FanimeCon, Kawaii Kon

Northern California's FanimeCon and Hawaii's Kawaii Kon have both announced that they will host voice actress Aya Hirano at their events this year.

Hirano began acting as a child, but she received her big break when she starred in the title role of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime series. She has performed theme songs for anime such as The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Fairy Tail, and Lucky Star, another television series for which she headlined. She also played the character Yūki Morikawa in the White Album visual novel and television anime, and sang the songs for the character. Her other anime roles include Kiddy Grade's Lumière, Death Note's Misa, Fairy Tail's Lucy, Eyeshield 21's Mamori, Parasyte -the maxim-'s Migi, Gatchaman Crowds's Paiman, and Dragon Ball Super's Dende.

FanimeCon will take place in San Jose, California this May 24-27.

Kawaii Kon will take plase in Honolulu, Hawaii this April 5-7. The convention will also host the band Magic of Life (Yowamushi Pedal), voice actor Nobutoshi Canna (Fate/stay night's Lancer), and singers Mika Kobayashi (Attack on Titan), ELISA (The World God Only Knows), and Mashiro Ayano (Re:CREATORS).

Hirano will also attend Quebec's Nadeshicon in March.
