In November, Evangelion character designer/manga creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, Metal Gear game franchise creator Hideo Kojima, and Sasameke manga creator Ryuji Gotsubo judged a Twilight art contest in Japan. Gotsubo illustrated the Japanese edition of the Twilight novels, and according to the contest's sponsor pixiv, the judges are "huge fans" of the Twilight series.
