Meito Anisawa

Voiced by: Tomokazu Seki (anime) Meito Anisawa, also known as Anime Tenchou, is the manager of the Animate shop that Konata Izumi regularly visits; prior to being manager, he was originally the mascot of Animate. He and his staff consider Konata their most valued customer, known as "Legendary Girl A" (伝説の少女A, Densetsu no Shōjo A?), and go to great lengths to sell their merchandise to her. Their attempts usually fail miserably. His appearance is heavily stylized, compared to the other characters, and he is known for his passionate yelling and highly energetic movements and poses. He appeared as a special guest during the Lucky Channel segment in episode seventeen, during which he and Minoru parody Mobile Fighter G Gundam's Domon Kasshu, referencing the fact that Meito's voice actor also played the character. Meito's colleagues at Animate are all similarly enthusiastic about selling their merchandise. In 2002, Gainax produced a single original video animation, where Meito Anisawa and his fellow employees are the focus.[
