Cultural Events

Konnichiwa Nakama and welcome my friends!

Time sure flies. It hardly seems like I was hatched that long ago. Now Naka-Kon is celebrating our 20th convention.

As part of the festivities, we are bringing you our favorite events and kicking everything up a notch. We can’t wait to see you!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to see what this strange noise and glowing are from the other room…

Catch up on Tomo's story here!

    Thank you for joining us for 2024. 2025 information will be coming soon.

    Stranded in an alternate reality Tomo and her friends need to return to her version of reality and use the power of the three treasures to seal the rift. Having no other option they must go deep into the spirit world and evade the yokai that dwell there. Friendly no longer, the yokai seek to stop Tomo and widen the rift. Can you help them get home?
