New Kotobukiya Team in the USA



Kotobukiya are pleased to make a big announcement today. A highly capable KotoUS team has been formed to strengthen our marketing and product development capabilities for the US market!

The members of this new team are:

Erick Sosa, Managing Advisor, Product Planning & Development
Jorge Martinez, Associate Advisor, Strategic Sales & Marketing
William Valenzuela, Product Planning & Development
Dan Lujan, Associate Advisor, Online Media Relations
Anuj Pradhan, Manager, Web Sales & Marketing

Mr. Erick Sosa is already well known among many collectors as one of the most talented US sculptors/artists in the arena of collectible statues and toys. He is also internationally recognized for his excellent sculpture work, as well as for the projects he has supervised over the past fifteen years. There is no doubt that we can anticipate an exciting and innovative product line up to be offered by KOTOBUKIYA in the very near future. A fusion of cutting-edge technology and creative craftsmanship, these qualities will allow us to be recognized as one of the best in the industry.

Mr. Jorge Martinez has a wealth of experience, especially in the areas of 3D developing. His expertise and skill is well recognized within the industry and his reputation is second to none. To respond to the sensitivity and fluctuation of market needs, as well as collectors' persistent demands for product perfection, we strongly feel that Jorge's acute sensitivity and enthusiastic passion towards collectibles will definitely satisfy our customer base.
Mr. William Valenzuela is another addition that we are proud to announce. When William collaborates with Erick and Jorge the end product is always one of unquestionable quality and uniqueness. We expect that his ideas and creativity will be a source of significant contribution to our product development, and his rich knowledge of a wide array of properties will be key in the team's success.


We call this new trio, the KOTOBUKIYA KREATIVE 3. By utilizing these individual's proven expertise, creative insight and strong sense of teamwork as a foundation for our future product development, we are well suited to becoming a major player in the US toy and collectables market.

In addition to the KOTOBUKIYA KREATIVE 3, we are very happy to announce that Mr. Dan Lujan will be expanding his role to that of associate advisor for our online media relations. Dan brings to the table an extensive background of news editing and design work with past employers including Ticketmaster and The Los Angeles Times. Since the public launch of our Kotous.com site in August, we have received many comments from fans and collectors alike. Dan will be compiling these valuable views and opinions in an effort to continually refine our website experience and online presence. This in turn will allow us to further our goal of uncompromised product quality and craftsmanship. As content expands on Kotous.com it will become increasingly important for us to stay in touch with you. Dan will play a key part in the development and strengthening of our online media relations and communications management.

Finally, I would like to introduce Mr. Anuj Pradhan, better known as "AJ". AJ played an integral role behind the scenes to make our San Diego Comic-Con event this year an overwhelming success. With a degree in Information Technology and a deep understanding of retail marketing and computer support we look towards AJ's knowledge and experience to be an instrumental component in meeting the needs of our US web based operations.

With Kotous.com being operational for three months now, we understand the importance of continually monitoring and reevaluating the accessibility and functionally of our new website. As we strive to address our customers' needs we would like to take this opportunity to extend our appreciation for your continued patronage and support. We are fully committed to developing an online experience that provides the highest level of customer service and support. In the near future Kotous.com will be expanded into a highly informational site with up-to-date news and a variety of editorial content. We also plan on recruiting a number of volunteer "area correspondents" who will be able to contribute their unique perspectives on our wide range of collectables. As the evolution of Kotous.com continues your comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Thank you very much for your continued support to KOTOBUKIYA.

Jeffrey Kashida, CEO/President
KOTO Inc.
