Get your best cosplay gear ready and make plans to check out this year’s comic con at Camp Foster on Dec. 8.
MCCS’ Comic Con Okinawa returns to Foster’s Fieldhouse, Community Center and Ocean Breeze Club, bringing many great sessions, meet-and-greets and other activities for manga fans of all ages.
Check out comic book hero, anime, manga and cartoon character-themed art at the Artist Alley Art Contest. The event will also host friendly video game competitions and a cosplay contest.
This year, guests will include some familiar voices you may recognize from Japanese anime like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh! Meet voice actors like Rica Matsumoto (Satoshi in Pokémon), Veronica Taylor (Ash Ketchum in Pokémon) and Keone Young (Avatar: The Last Airbender; Wayne Grayson from Yu-Gi-Oh!). Other guest stars include actors from “Power Rangers Wild Force” and a comic book creator of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin, a special effects artist and celebrity cosplayers.
Admission on Dec. 8 is free, but on Dec. 7 there will be an exclusive Gold Pass Exclusive event which will require a ticket. The ticketed event from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. includes a dinner buffet, early admission to the Dec. 8 comic con, express entry to autograph sessions and more.
This event is a cosplayer-favorite so don’t miss all the fun at Camp Foster!
