[Con] PMX: GoH Announcement - Asai Masaki (Modeler Guest of Honor)

Pacific Media Expo is proud to welcome Mr. Masaki Asai as its Modeling Guest of Honor. Mr. Asai was born and raised in Osaka where he was surrounded by Japan's largest garage kit companies. At the age of 18, he made his debut as a modeler at Volks. Two years later, he joined the modeling studio Heavy Gauge. Within two years of joining Heavy Gauge, he became a freelance modeler and went on to create models for Samurai Showdown (SNK) and Variable Geo (TGL). In 1999, Mr. Asai released Mister Nou (Tiger mask) with Kaiyodo. That same year, he joined Toytribe and modeled Vash the Stampede (Trigun) and later Nicholas D Wolfwood (Trigun). Mr. Asai soon began making special extras for comics and DVD's such as Chi (Chobits) and Nadia (Secret of Blue Water). His other figurines included "Hitsuji no uta (Song of a sheep) and Tengoku "Heavenly prison". In 2003, Mr. Asai created Ray Kyaseal (Phantasy Star Online). Here, he imitates making mass production action figures using minor production resin kits. Using this process, he created the figurine of Rei Ayanami (Neon genesis evangelion), Kiriko Cupie (Votoms), Souryu Asuka Langley (evangelion), Keroro (sergent frog) and Saber (Fate).

Mr. Asai will also be displaying some of his work at the convention.
