Kawaii Kon is a 3-day annual event held at the Hawaii Convention Center. This year’s even ran March 29-31. The event started in 2006 with about 2,000 people in attendance and has been steadily growing since to become Hawaii’s largest anime convention.
This event brought together anime enthusiasts, cosplayers, and fans of Japanese culture for a weekend of excitement and camaraderie.
The convention’s guest lineup featured prominent voice actors, industry professionals, and artists from the world of anime and manga. Fans had the opportunity to meet their favorite guests, attend panels and Q&A sessions, and even get autographs and personalized artwork. A few of the guests in attendance were Ryan Colt Levy, Adam McArthur, Sarah Miller-Crews, and Christopher Sabat.
Rate the Con
Our new thing for 2024 is to ask our readers to take a poll on some basic components of the con. We want to know how you rate the parking, the vendors and the food. The poll closes after 30 days and we will use this as a baseline for next years convention. We hope to eventually have a rating system set up for many of the conventions.

We realize that these don’t apply to all conventions, so if they don’t apply to your con, give them a 5 star.
**Later additions to the rating systems will include things such as guests and ticket prices**
Cosplay took center stage as attendees donned elaborate costumes portraying their favorite anime, manga, and video game characters. From iconic heroes and heroines to intricate villains and mythical creatures, the creativity and attention to detail showcased in the cosplay community were truly impressive.
