Thank you so very much for joining us at Naka-Kon 2025! It was amazing spending the weekend with all of you!
See you March 13-15, 2026!
Naka-Kon is an annual three-day convention, celebrating anime, manga, cosplay, music, fashion, gaming, and more! Every year, we bring your favorite voice actors, musicians, cosplayers, artists, designers, and industry experts to the Overland Park Convention Center. Catch guest panels and performances, be part of our cosplay competitions, enter contests, and learn about working in the anime, manga, and music industries.

For those Nakama night owls, our screenings schedule is now available. We've got anime running from 3pm on Friday until 4:30pm on Sunday. So if you need a break from the con or just want to watch some anime, head on over to the Sheraton rooms Hawthorne 1 & 2 to catch a show.
