    Funimation held its first-ever scavenger hunt in New York City on Saturday, giving one lucky participant a chance to win a limited-edition AKIRA Kaneda leather jacket. Fans kicked off the day at Kung Fu Tea’s flagship store and spent the day like Shotaro Kaneda, solving six clues that guided them throughout the city – Forbidden Planet, Naruto Ramen, Javits Center, Pearl River Mart and Soho 25 Condominiums. 

    The winner ended up being Dustin Shay!

    After winning, Dustin had this to say: 

    “The Akira scavenger hunt was so fun! I never thought my nerdy anime knowledge would actually do anything for me, but watching all those Funimation shows growing up paid off!”

    Congratulations to Dustin for taking home the jacket!
