ABOUT OTAKUTHON

WHY BECOME A PARTNER?

A convention recognized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan

Otakuthon attendees are big fans of Japanese culture. We can often see them proudly wearing the costume of their favorite characters.

This is one of the reasons why in 2018, Otakuthon received an honorable mention from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan. This award recognized the hard work Otakuthon did in order to promote cultural exchanges between Japan and Canada as well as promote good relationships between Japan and other countries. We are the only event in Quebec to receive this award.

The perfect occasion to reach out to Y and Z

The electrifying ambiance of Otakuthon comes from the multicultural crowd that grows in number every year, from their colorful costumes and young attendees ready to party. 76 % of Otakuthon attendees are under 25 years old and are constantly on social media.

An event to promote cultural sharing

The convention wishes to share Japanese culture by providing a meetup place for manga publishers and readers. Every year, the Exhibition Hall receives hundreds of dealers. In 2022, there were 421 artists and 312 dealers from all around the world.

Otakuthon is one of the biggest anime conventions, second only to Anime North, that happens in Toronto.
