Get your wigs and catsuits ready! Tokyo Comic Con is returning to Tokyo for three days from December 5 to 7 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 Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci from 'Wednesday', Christopher Lloyd of 'Back to the Future', Elijah Wood from the 'Lord of the Rings' franchise, and Sebastian Stan from Marvel hit 'Thunderbolts'.
Adding to the excitement is actor Koji Yamamoto, who stars in Netflix's 2019 drama series 'What Did You Eat Yesterday?', and is one of the ambassadors for this year's Comic Con. 2016 worldwide sensation Pikotaro and DJ Hello Kitty will also be making a guest appearance to perform on stage on December 6 at 1.50pm.
General admission is ¥5,500 per day for adults (¥1,000 for high school students, ¥500 for middle school students). Three-day passes are also available at ¥9,900 and are limited, so it’s best to get them in advance. (Update: Sold out) Note that celebrity meet-and-greets will require a separate ticket.
