Hollywood actor Johnny Depp made an anticipated appearance at the Tokyo Comic Con in 2025, where thousands of fans and cosplayers came together to celebrate pop culture on Sunday.<br /><br />He later took the stage with Japanese voice actor Hiroaki Hirata, receiving a surprise gift, an inspired illustration of Jack Sparrow drawn by Eiichiro Oda.<br /><br />"Thank you for having me. Thank you for everything. The warm welcomes, the kindness, the generosity, the support which has been there strong for a long time. I thank you all deeply, deeply, deeply," said Depp.<br /><br />Tokyo Comic Con is a major international event that showcases popular culture. It features announcements of upcoming films, video games, and opportunities for fans to cosplay and meet with artists and performers.<br /><br />"It's really open to many different styles, which I think is really good, like both anime comics, cartoon craft, and it's like a variety. So that also for me, I like to walk around and see what other people are doing, who's who and who's new here. And maybe I find something that really inspires me or motivates me to work harder," explained Reinald REIQ Quintero, an artist.<br /><br />This year’s event included cosplay parades, an Artist Alley, ani-song concerts, Marvel and DC exhibits and booths offering exclusive merchandise.<br /><br />"I personally love the Joker, and for this cosplay I imagined, 'What if I were the Joker?' That’s how I approached it. His madness… that unhinged part of him that you normally can’t show or express. By doing cosplay, I thought maybe I could release that wild, insane side within myself too," shared Maaru, a cosplayer.<br /><br />The convention drew large crowds for a record celebrity lineup that included Sebastian Stan, Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen and cast members of 'Back to the Future', who marked the film’s 40th anniversary in Japan.<br /><br />Follow us on:<br />WhatsApp cutt.ly/WhatsAppCFM<br />https://twitter.com/capitalfmkenya/<br />https://www.facebook.com/capitalfmkenya<br />https://www.instagram.com/capitalfmkenya<br /><br />Subscribe to Capital FM News for More: https://goo.gl/um4AGk<br /><br />98.4 Capital FM<br />93.0 Western Kenya<br />98.5 Nakuru and Nyeri<br />104.5 Malindi<br />102.7 Garissa<br />103.9 Meru<br />106.5 Kitui<br />104.9 Voi<br /><br />#CapitalFmKenya
