Tokyo,Japan, Mr.McG, director of the block buster post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi cult film Terminator Salvation 4, has paid a friendly visit to Kotobukiya’s newly opened Shop at world’s Otaku central, Akihabara. Mr. McG was visiting Japan for the Japan Premium of Terminator Salvation 4, and came over to Kotobukiya shop with the Fuji Television crew, on June 6th.

Fuji Television commented “We knew we had to bring Mr. McG to Kotobukiya Shop because the director himself is very much into the Otaku Culture. We felt that this side of the director definitely influenced his works and we had to have him come in”
