Ray is a 6'7" tall professional heavyweight boxer whose boxing "alias" name is Mount Kilimanjaro. Several years ago he was crowned Heavyweight Boxing Champion of Canada. Born in Nigeria, Ray moved to Toronto at the age of four. When Ray was a child, his life was a constant struggle. He grew up the hard way in the inner city, having little or no family encouragement and support. Ray's road to success was a long and hard one. Yet, rather than letting himself become bitter over his hardships, he instead always reaches out to local youth to try to help them to be positive. His passionate talks have inspired many young people to remain hopeful and strive to find their way out of the poverty that cripples their lives. You can check out more of his work at IMDB.

An avid comic book and anime fan, she has been a regular for Anime North for the past five years. Most Anime North regulars will recognize her as both Sailor Moon and Harley Quinn. She always gives 100% and her passion shines through in everything she does.

Shawn Spears

Former WWE/ECW Superstar Shawn "Gavin" Spears has been wrestling for the past 10 years, and has forgotten more than most wrestlers will ever learn. Trained at the WrestlePlex, he was a mainstay in Ontarion Independents until he was called up to World Wrestling Entertainment in 2006, he spent his time in the developmental companies, Ohio Valley Wrestling, and Florida Championship Wrestling. Then he recieved the call he was being brought up to WWE's incarnation of Extreme Championship Wrestling as Gavin Spears under the "new talent initiative". In 2009 he was released by WWE and made his way straight back to his Ontario home in GCW . Upon his return to the indy-scene, he felt his career could reach new heights as he has since traveled around the world to learn the different styles in Puerto Rico, Mexico and most recently a tour in All Japan Pro Wrestling, which was unfortunately cut short by the earthquake in March of 2011. It was quite the terrifying experience, but Spears is a survivor and he's bringing that attitude to Anime North this year. The self-proclaimed "Canadian Sensation" is also known for his devastating finishing move the running Death Valley Driver, and is looking to put away all of his opponents this May!
