About Kevin T. Rodriguez

Kevin is an accomplished blogger and pop culture writer! Having written about the manga and anime industry since 2004, he's written a wide variety of stories! He has even interviewed legends like Stan Lee and Trigun creator Yashiro Nightow! He also has extensive knowledge of the entertainment and gaming industry, and has written articles and new reports for both industries. Kevin Got his start when he won a Young Cartoonist Award from a Catholic print magatzine. Realizing his art was wek but his writing strong, Kevin moved onto studying journalism instead at American River College. From there he started his own blog where he produced weekly writings for that as well as other articles for sites like Examiner and Anime on DVD (two very influential sites in their days). He has since written for multiple sites and publications and also makes YouTube videos in his spare time about the entertainment industry. He is proud of his contributions to The Best War Games in the anime section!
