(Since Jan was in the animation production industry for many years. An inquiry was made if she knew any of the people around the anime and manga industries.)

When you were in Japan, did you get a chance to meet any of the great masters, such as Hayao Miyazaki, Osamu Tezuka, Kenichi Sonda, Rumiko Takahashi?

Jan Scot-Fraizer: I met Miyazaki once in a park in 1988 briefly. We lost Tezuka before I was involved in the industry. I had the chance to meet Takahashi at San Diego ComicCon once but she looked so stressed out and overwhelmed that I didn't want to add to it. I'm friends with Kenichi Sonoda and we've known each other since 1990. I worked for Noboru Ishiguro for years and he was my business partner. I got to know Mamoru Oshii, who was my greatest directorial inspiration, when I worked at IG, which was great for me. I was fortunate enough to meet a lot of people in the industry there.
