Producer Yoshihiro Watanabe added to Otakon Guest List

Washington, D.C. (July 17, 2019) – Producer Yoshihiro Watanabe will be a guest at Otakon 2019, according to Otakorp Inc.

Watanabe is a producer at animation Studio Orange Ltd. and is currently assisting the production of "BEASTARS" and developing future projects.

Watanabe grew up in America but after college, by what he considers "weird fate," he began working for studio Madhouse Inc.. After leaving Madhouse, Watanabe became a freelance producer/coordinator and worked closely with studio P.A. WORKS.

He has produced work such as "Eccentric Family 2" and "League of Legend Commercial: New Journey."

Otakon 2019 will be held July 26-28, 2019 at the Walter Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
