Hideo Ishiguro ( @hideoishiguro )
PR TIMESSince I was a child, video games have been a part of my daily life and my greatest passion.
I even ran for class president on purpose so I could get home as early as possible to play games, and I worked to streamline my daily duties to make that happen.

This event brings me so much excitement and joy every year—I can’t wait to see what thrilling experiences await me this year!

KIMBLUE ( @kimblue_37 )
PR TIMESHello, I’m Kim Blue.
First of all, congratulations on the 30th anniversary of the Tokyo Game Show!
I’m looking forward to the Tokyo Game Show more than anyone else—it’s where the best games come together and the next generation of titles makes its debut.
It’s been 14 years since I started as a gaming YouTuber, but I still get excited just thinking about discovering new games.
I’ve heard that the Tokyo Game Show, in particular, has become a central hub of gaming culture where game lovers from all over the world gather in one place.
As a creator from South Korea, I feel deeply honored to be able to stand on this stage during this milestone 30th anniversary.
I want to convey, just as it is, the passion and dedication with which Korean creators approach gaming at the Tokyo Game Show.
I’ll give it my all on-site to help make this special 30th-anniversary moment a huge success!
Once again, congratulations on the 30th anniversary of the Tokyo Game Show.
I look forward to seeing you all at this exciting event!
And I’m always grateful to my fans, “BlueMon,” who have always supported me and made it possible for me to stand on such a big stage.
Taki ( @taki_saito )
PR TIMESI’m truly honored to be participating as an official ambassador for the Tokyo Game Show.
Having grown up in various countries, games have always been a bridge that connects people across language and cultural barriers.
I’m really looking forward to celebrating that magic with all of you at the Tokyo Game Show and experiencing new games.
See you at the Tokyo Game Show!
Mimiimiii1113 ( @mimiimiii1113 )
PR TIMESFirst of all, thank you so much for TGS.
Actually, I’ve attended the Tokyo Game Show in both 2023 and 2024, and every time I come back, I bring home enough memories to talk about for over a year.
For me, TGS is an event I “absolutely have to attend every year”—it’s so important that without it, there’d be a gaping hole in my year’s worth of content.
That’s exactly why I still can’t quite believe I’ve gone from being someone who “used to go on my own every year” to becoming a member of BOOSTERZ—and I’m truly honored.
I seem pretty laid-back usually, but I’m sure the bosses wouldn’t agree (lol).
From Souls-like games to horror titles, the harder and scarier the game, the more fired up I get—and every now and then, I even break into song during my streams.
It’s a little breather right in between being “laid-back” and “merciless.”
I’ve been streaming for seven years, and my motivation has always been simple: “I want to share the joy of gaming with as many people as possible”—that’s all.
I’m really looking forward to sharing that joy from Taiwan to TGS, and to players all over the world, as a member of BOOSTERZ.
Please be sure to say hi to me at the venue!
I’ll save my “gentle” side for all of you, and my “ruthless” side for the bosses.
Mr. Lappy
PR TIMESPiyo-oon! It’s Lappy!
I’m so happy to be appointed as a TGS Ambassador in this special 30th anniversary year!
I’m heading out from Planet Ravitt! to the Land of Games to bring everyone LOVE and HAPPY!
I’m already so excited to see what kind of events and games I’ll encounter!
I might even throw some crazy challenges your way at the venue!
I’ll be waiting for you at Makuhari Messe, so everyone, be sure to come hang out with me!~
