Voice actress and singer, Mari Iijima joins Anime Expo 2017!

Best known as the voice of Lynn Minmay from Macross, Mari premiered her award-winning, first English album No Limit at AX 1999, which created huge buzz. Her appearance this year is a long awaited return to the event! She will be performing during our new Welcome Ceremony, where guests, performers, and staff greet attendees with a showcase previewing the best AX has to offer.

Iijima will also participate in a panel and autograph sessions throughout AX 2017 (schedule TBD). Check out her bio below to learn more!
