Anime Expo 2009 – Afro Samurai Cosplay
At his Saturday spotlight panel, Afro Samurai creator Takashi Okazaki got to meet three of his characters: Justice, Ninja Ninja and Afro.
Afro Samurai creator Takashi Okazaki had been to an American comic convention before, but he didn't get this kind of costumed reception at San Diego Comic-Con! This time, at Anime Expo, he was greeted by an impressive trio of cosplayers who came dressed as three of the characters he created: Justice, Ninja Ninja, and of course, Afro Samurai.
At one point, Okazaki took Afro's sword in hand, swung it and marveled, "This is actually kind of heavy!"
