Ninja-Con

Ninja-Con's second year is filled with voice actors, gaming and many strange panels. Nothing is giving TTDILA a "oh, this has to be seen" feeling. The festival, still in it's infancy is best for fans coming together. Better to think of it as one large group meet-up all day in Little Tokyo.

An artist Hall, swap meet and game room await you for entry. An after hours slate of programming for the older crowd.
