PRESS RELEASE: Los Angeles’ most popular anime-themed food operation on wheels, Okamoto Kitchen announces the launch of a Kickstarter to expand their unique mashup of Japanese comfort food, pop culture, and anime in 2019 with the production of an entirely original animated series inspired by the real world experiences of co-founders Gerald and Chizuru Abraham.

Okamoto Kitchen has partnered with Takuya Saito, an animation supervisor whose work includes titles such as SAILOR MOON, ONE PIECE and most recently DRAGONBALL SUPER BROLY, alongside seasoned anime voice actress and director, Cristina Vee (SAILOR MOON, HUNTER X HUNTER, LEAGUE OF LEGENDS), who lends her exuberant personality to main protagonist, Haru..
