Get your wigs and catsuits ready! Tokyo Comic Con is returning to Tokyo for three days from December 8 to 10 this winter. While the full schedule for celebrity autographs and photo sessions remains under wraps, the event organisers have already unveiled some of the illustrious names set to grace the occasion. The roster has fans buzzing, boasting appearances from cinematic icons like Christopher Lloyd of 'Back to the Future', Tom Felton from the 'Harry Potter' series, and Evangeline Lilly from 'Ant-Man'.
Adding to the excitement is Japanese-American actor Mackenyu, who stars in Netflix's new live-action adaptation of 'One Piece', and is one of the ambassadors for this year's Comic Con. While live-action renditions of beloved manga and anime often tread contentious waters, Netflix's 'One Piece' has been a rare standout. Even the most ardent fans have lauded the show, especially highlighting Mackenyu's commendable portrayal of Roronoa Zoro.
General admission is ¥4,400 per day for adults (¥1,000 for high school students, ¥500 for middle school students). Three-day passes are also available at ¥8,800 and are limited, so it’s best to get them in advance. Note that celebrity meet-and-greets will require a separate ticket.
