As you may have heard, the first ever Japan Expo will be occurring in Santa Clara this August. While we’ve heard a bit about what type of Japanese performance groups will be attending the event hand holding events, Japan Expo hasn’t revealed what type of businesses will be attending the event.
That was until today when the company revealed that not only will big names such as FUNimation and Viz Media be attending the event, but also Kinokuniya Books, which is one of the largest Japanese bookstores in the US, the Japanese External Trade Organization, a non-profit Japanese government organization that promotes investments between the US and Japan and Deleter, the premier supplier of manga art materials will also be attending the event. These companies will all be at the event and will likely be holding special events at their booths throughout the event which runs from August 23rd to the 25th.
