Tokyo, Japan July 16, 2010 - Kotobukiya - San Diego Comic-Con is just around the corner and Kotobukiya will have plenty of new and exciting product announcements to make during the show! We are thrilled to premiere our latest offerings for 2010 and beyond. Visitors to booth #2601 will be treated to the blazing hot ladies of our Marvel & DC Bishoujo series, masterfully sculpted heroes and villains from the Marvel Universe and Star Wars characters like you have never seen them before! Truly the beginning of a Kotobukiya renaissance, Koto Inc. President/CEO Jeffery Kashida remarks:

"Ever since our first entry to the U.S. market 10 years ago, Kotobukiya has been aware of the differences between Eastern and Western Arts. With undaunted challenge-seeking minds, our highly capable product development teams in both the U.S. and Japan have collaborated to produce a fusion of the two worlds where old tradition and craftsmanship have been enhanced."

Plenty of other surprises await visitors to our booth!
