KuroCon is a by-fan-for-fan con that is free to the public. We invite you all to watch and enjoy the streams and see how your favorite entertainers, industry folks and fellow fans are doing during this global pandemic, and have something fun to do while staying home. We want to rekindle the excitement that may have been diminished with many of the anime conventions being cancelled and bring back a slice of that experience, in a new way.

This is why we went to get Japanese guests that are exciting, provide fan panel spaces as well as a virtual artist alley. You can participate in the AA and fan panels on the KuroCon Discord, while all the main events programs will be viewable on KuroCon Twitch.

On that note, the wonderful guest lineup at KuroCon are as follow:
