Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson was in Japan to present the “Best Continuing Series” award at the 2023 Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Tokyo with Chiefs wide receiver Juju Smith-Schuster on Saturday, March 4. While Jamaal Williams (a.k.a. Swagg Kazekage) is widely recognized as the most hardcore Lions anime fan, maybe Hutchinson is up there too? It looks like he knows how awesome Hiroyuki Sawano music is, so that’s good enough for me.
While in Tokyo, Hutchinson made a trip with Dragonball Z superfan Smith-Schuster to a very cool cafe that does incredible latte art (much of it anime and cartoon inspired).
