The 2007 Kazuki Award
This was the first year that the Kazuki Award has been presented. The Kazuki award marks the anniversary of Shrotaku.co.uk, and in turn our mascot Kazuki.
It is awarded to an individual, group, or anyone who has contributed to assisting the growth of anime and manga in the UK, and more specifically helping local groups form and/or grow. It might also be awarded to someone we think truly deserves it.
This years award was given at the Midlands MCM Expo (15th & 16th September 2007) to TokyoPop's Andrew Whelan.
Andrew's hard work and determination through running local events up and down the country played a huge part in the decision to award him the trophy, but Andrew was a key helper in establishing both Lotaku and Shrotaku by offering great advice, images and even prizes. Andrew was awarded the trophy, a black Kazuki hat and a set of badges, and seemed to be very chuffed with his award. Congratulations Andrew!
