kintoki

We are a new convention in Sacramento, CA. It would seem you guys don't have a convention thread so we will post what needs to be said here: [center][b]We are artists, staffs, attendees, and sponsors of Kintoki-Con, an event that focuses on bringing the convention's experience back to the culture; and to the fans. In addition to celebrating Japanese culture and animation, we will embrace other cultures, such as Korean and Chinese influences. Please join us at our next convention in Sacramento, California on June 18-19, 2011!.[/b] [b]So what is Kintoki-Con?[/b] Kintoki-con is a con created not just around Japanese media (though it is a great part of it) but also Korean and Chinese. Afterall, Japan would not have existed without China right? (Hetalia reference). Korea's recent shining days are also a welcoming show of just how fast it can catch up to the game. [b]Why Kintoki-Con?[/b] The name Kintoki was a spoof from Golden Hour (or Golden Time), which is when most TV stations host the hottest shows. For Japan it's when the otakus get home from work. In China it's when kids go online in search of their favorite anime after school. In the US...its the news hour when parents get home and cartoon hour for the kids (or at least it used to be cartoon hour...lol).
