I asked what the protocol would be. Would we shake hands, bow, could we speak? I mean, he is the creator of the show! Anyway, we were told to ‘play it by ear and follow his lead’. After we got the bows and awkward 'normal' photos out of the way, I then asked him, 'Hey, do you want to do an anime pose with us like we do with the fans?'. The translator's eyes popped wide open and quietly told Sensei. He smiled and said yes”.
