C3 in Hong Kong 2016, a three-day event focused on Japanese pop culture, ran in Hong Kong from February 19th through February 21st this year.
At the show, attendees could see the latest Gundam merch, including the newest from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans which broadcasts and streams in Hong Kong. Early access to event-exclusives merch and a lineup of Hong Kong-only items also drew crowds.
Another major attraction was a special appearance by Iron-Blooded Orphans stars Kengo Kawanishi (Mikazuki Augus) and Yoshimasa Hosoya (Orga Itsuka.)
