We are absolutely excited to officially announce our very first special guest for Animaga Melbourne 2026. This August, prepare to give a massive, warm Aussie welcome to the incredibly talented Japanese voice actress, Miho Okasaki (岡咲 美保)!

Marking a major milestone for the convention, this will be Okasaki-san’s first-ever visit to Australia. We are bringing her straight to the main stage at the MCEC this August 29 and 30, giving fans a rare opportunity to see her live, hear firsthand stories from the anime industry, and celebrate her stellar career.

The Voice of an Icon: Rimuru Tempest

Fans of the globally beloved hit series That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime will instantly recognize her iconic work. Okasaki-san is the brilliant voice behind Rimuru Tempest, the main protagonist of the franchise.

Her exceptional performance bringing the lovable, powerful slime to life completely captivated audiences worldwide and earned her the highly prestigious Best New Actress Award at the 14th Seiyu Awards. If you have followed Rimuru’s journey from the very beginning, you will not want to miss this historic chance to meet the voice behind the character in person.

A Versatile Talent Across Anime and Gaming

Beyond her legendary role as Rimuru, Okasaki-san possesses a remarkably versatile vocal range that has brought life to an expansive lineup of popular characters across television screens and major gaming franchises. Anime fans will know her as Loux Krystas in The Dawn of the Witch, Hinana Ichikawa in THE iDOLM@STER SHINY COLORS, and the charming Mary Hunt in My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!.

Mobile gaming enthusiasts also have a huge reason to celebrate this August, as she provides the distinct, fan-favorite voice of Anis in the mega-hit shooting title Goddess of Victory: Nikke.
