SUMMER 2021 PROGRAM BOOK 

COVER ART BY ART OF MAZZY

SACANIME RETURNS 

It’s been a very rough couple of years for everyone. For SacAnime, the Sacramento Convention Center underwent a 

remodel, forcing us to relocate to Cal Expo. Our first SacAnime at Cal Expo (Winter 2020) went well. We had good 

attendance numbers and there weren’t any major problems. Holding SacAnime at Cal Expo definitely had a few 

negative aspects, but there were positive aspects as well. Then of course, COVID-19 hit and SacAnime was forced to 

cancel the Summer 2020 show. Since then it’s been a roller coaster ride. SacAnime Winter 2021 (@ Roseville’s the 

Grounds) was postponed to April 2021, making it our first ever SacAnime Spring event. It went fairly well, considering it 

was only a swap meet, with exhibitors and a few guests but without any panels, a cosplay masquerade, etc. 

SacAnime Summer 2021. The Sacramento (SAFE Credit Union) Convention Center is complete, but COVID is still 

running wild. After many different mandates and guidelines, the convention dates draw near. Masks are required 

inside and all attendees over the age of 11 must be completely vaccinated or have had a negative test within the past 

72 hours. We are not requiring proof of this because we trust our attendees to do the right thing and because any 

events held before September 20, 2021 are not mandated to do so. Preventing our registration lines from becoming 

overwhelmed is more important than catching the very small percentage of people who are trying to cheat the system. 

Have a fun convention. Stay safe. Hopefully the next one will happen during better times.

J. MICHAEL TATUM 

Nurtured on anime classics from the tender age of Star 

Blazers, et al, this reclusive actor/writerspent more years 

than he cares to remember in what might charitably be 

called free-fall before landing, mostly by accident, smack 

dab on the industry of his dreams. To this day, some believe 

the small crater made by the impact remains the source 

of his power. 

Cast as Rikichi in 2005’s Samurai 7, Tatum’s inexplicable 

luck has held long enough to see his flag hoisted on a slew 

of dream roles, most notably Kyoya Otori in Ouran High 

School Host Club, suave, demonic Sebastian Michaelis in 

Black Butler, France in the Hetalia franchise,Tomoe from 

Kamisama Kiss, and the equal parts maniacal/vulnerable 

Okarin Rintarou from Steins;Gate. More recently, Tatum 

can be heard in the epic My Hero Academia as Teyna Iida. 

no Ou, Ghost Hunt, School Rumble, The Tower of Druaga, 

Aquarion, Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles, Shuffle, Shigurui, 

Glass Fleet, Mushishi, Soul Eater, along with feature- length 

films such as Vexille, Summer Wars, Dragon Age: Dawn of 

the Seeker, and Empire of Corpses, among many others. 

His videogame credits include Sir Hammerlock from the 

Borderlands franchise, Julius Kresnik from Tales of Xillia 

2, Mr. Foster from Killing Floor 2, Kelvin and Pendles from 

Battleborn, and fifteen playable characters from SMITE. 

And as if being involved with so many awesome shows 

wasn’t enough, in late 2007 the fluky so-and-so tempted 

fate by officially branching out into ADR directing and 

adaptive scriptwriting. His ADR directing credits to 

date include Aquarion, Jyu-oh-Sei, Romeo X Juliet, Big 

Windup, Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne andShikabane 

Hime (Corpse Princess), while his writing credits include 

substantial work on Ouran High School Host Club, Heroic 

Age, Initial D, Blassreiter, Ga Rei: Zero, Hero Tales, Legend 

of the Legendary Heroes, Fractale, Deadman Wonderland, 

Steins;Gate, Assassination Classroom, Dragon Ball Z 

Kaiand Attack on Titan. 

Other characters the man still can’t believe he’s had the 

crazy good fortune to play include: Doumeki in XXXHolic, 

Jiro Mochizuki in Black Blood Brothers, Isaac Dian 

in Baccano!, both God Eneru and Dalton in One Piece, 

Komui Lee in D-Gray Man, Dororo in Sgt. Frog, the titular 

loveable savage of Heroic Age, Ryosuke Takahashi in Initial 

D, Lawrence Kraft in Spice and Wolf, Zarbon in Dragon Ever the workaholic, Tatum is currently burning the midnight 

Ball Z Kai, and Scar in Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood. oil on a number of exciting projects due for release later 

His vocal “stylings,” much to the chagrin of drama teachers this year. And before you ask, the “J” stands for… Well, it 

everywhere, he’s sure, have also been featured 

stands for whatever you’d like it to.

AUSTIN TINDLE 

Austin Tindle is an american actor. His birth was foretold by a swallow, in a remote location in Orlando, Florida. At the 

moment he burst forth from the womb a new star formed and illuminated the sky, the seasons suddenly changed from 

winter to spring and a double rainbow appeared. At three weeks old he had learned to walk and by eight weeks he was 

talking. His voice over career began soon after. He was raised in Austin, Texas, which was retroactively named after him. He 

has since voiced many characters in English dubbed anime including: Ken Kaneki (Tokyo Ghoul), Marco Bodt (Attack on 

Titan), Karma Akabane (Assassination Classroom), Neito Monoma (My Hero Academia), Avilio Bruno (91 Days), Seborgia 

(Hetalia), Raspberry (Dragon Ball Z), Accelerator (A Certain Magical Index, A Certain Scientific Railgun), Ichirohiko (The 

boy and the Beast). You can also hear him voicing leading roles in many other shows including: Is This a Zombie, Guilty 

Crown, D-Frag, Gonna Be The Twin-Tail, Prince Of Stride, Prison School, Tamo No-Rin, ACCA, Maria the Virgin Witch, Snow 

White with the Red Hair, Trickster, Shangri-La, Cross Ange, My Love Story and more. I’m pretty sure he does video games 

too, like Raspberry in Dragonball Xenoverse and Hou Yi in Smite. Austin currently resides in Dallas Texas, where he enjoys 

his leisure time as a master golfer, after picking up the game for the first time in 2016 when he shot a 38-under par 

round that included no fewer than 11 holes in one. He consists on a humble diet and employs a servant to inspect every 

grain of rice that is served to him; any with the most minor of flaws is discarded. He has never used a toilet as his body 

recycles everything it consumes with flawless efficiency. Also, he invented the hamburger.

AUTOGRAPH ROOM 

At SacAnime, we pride ourselves on giving our attendees the chance to get 

up close with the best talent in the industry. 

Premium Autographs 

Most of our guests will be selling their autographs at their own 

individual booths, cash and card accepted. Autographs usually come 

with a photo/picture of the guest or character the guest protrays. You may 

bring your own item if you wish, but it is up to each individual guest on 

whether or not they will sign it, depending on the content. All of 

the money collected goes directly to the guests. SacAnime does not 

set autograph pricing or receive money from autograph sales. 

VIP Premium Autograph Lines 

SacAnime VIPs will have their own autograph lines for guests selling their 

autographs. 

Free Autographs 

Some of our guests may be participating in Free Autograph Sessions. 

During these sessions, the guest will sign one autograph on a fan provided 

item without charge - except for Funko Pops. Additonal autographs may be 

purchased. 

Free VIP Autographs 

Free Autograph Sessons for SacAnime VIPs only.
