VIZ has a big announcement on the way, and apparently it involves Kubo– as in Tite Kubo, creator of Bleach.
Gonna hazard a guess and say Kubo is probably going to be guesting at a convention, and I’m gonna go even crazier and say it’ll probably be Anime Expo. It could be Otakon, but let’s face it, California is closer to Japan and VIZ is in California as well, albeit the northern half. I suppose it could also be New York Anime Fest– VIZ did have a reasonable presence at NYCC and is, of course, very involved with the Kinokuniya store there –but it seems a little early for that.
Time will tell!

NYAF is planning on announcing some guests next week…

@Scott: You’re right, I’d forgotten! That’s does boost NYAF’s likelihood, though AX is still a possibility as well…especially since AX seems a little short on “big-name” guests this year, at least compared to last year.

Its either NYAF of Expo, for sure.

Hm, I’m personally hoping it’s Otakon, because it’ll be the first time there’s someone there that I’d want to meet.

I hope he’s coming for AX, but SDCC is also a possibility.
