At this year’s Anime Las Vegas, March 21 & 22, 2026, a mega anime pop-culture event on the West Coast and Nevada’s largest anime and cosplay convention, fans will be able to witness an Attack on Titan experience, unlike any before. The celebrity-filled weekend will host two of the most celebrated voices in anime, Yuki Kaji and Bryce Papenbrook – both AOT’s Eren Yeager, as they share the spotlight for fans to connect with them at the Las Vegas Expo at the World Market Center.
Yuki Kaji and Bryce Papenbrook
The renowned Japanese voice actor, Yuki Kaji, is one of Japan’s most recognizable voice actors. He is known for his range of roles across popular anime series and video games. Kaji became popular thanks to his intense emotional depth and a versatility of vocal range. Providing fans with a deep sense of feeling to his characters, Kaji’s investment and imprint on the anime industry as an influential seiyū – a Japanese voice actor – has garnered a strong following.
Kaji is most known for his appearance as Shoto Todoroki in My Hero Academia, Meliodas in the adventure The Seven Deadly Sins, and his featured credit is as the powerful, driven, 15-meter titan Eren Yeager in Attack on Titan.
Bryce Papenbrook, a prolific American voice actor also known for his emotive performances and explosive vocals, will also be guest-appearing at an autograph booth. Papenbrook’s credits include Inosuke in Demon Slayer, Kirito in Sword Art Online, Meliodas as the English Dub in The Seven Deadly Sins and notably the 15-meter, freedom-seeking, rumbling titan Eren Yeager as the English dub in Attack on Titan. Papenbrook has been a fixture of the Anime convention circuits, with regular appearances at Anime Las Vegas. While not a new face, he is a fan favorite.
Both Kaji and Papenbrook are expected to greet long lines of fans across sessions throughout the weekend, both Saturday and Sunday.

The convention features a packed schedule of voice-acting panels and Q&A sessions where both stars will be able to discuss their craft and voice acting experiences as Eren Yeager and Melidos.
