Voice Actor Zach Aguilar to Be Guest at Otakon 2016

Baltimore, MD (July 1, 2016) – Voice actor Zach Aguilar, who has voiced such characters as Genos in "One-Punch Man," will be a guest at Otakon 2016, according to Otakorp Inc. Aguilar first started acting at age 5. He later realized that, through voice over, he had the ability to play many more roles without being limited by his appearance. In 2014, Zach won the "Magi 2" Voice Acting Open Auditions at Anime Expo hosted by Bang Zoom! Entertainment and Aniplex. At 16 years old, he was one of the youngest people to ever win and was cast in "Magi: The Kingdom of Magic."

Since then, in addition to playing Genos in "One-Punch Man," he has played such characters as Slaine Troyard in "Aldnoah.Zero," Talken in "Sword Art Online 2," Arthur Pendragon in "The Seven Deadly Sins," Takaki in "Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans," and more. He can also be heard doing numerous commercials for Pandora internet radio.

Otakon 2016 will be held August 12-14 at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, MD.
