International Otaku Expo Association Comiket Social Gathering 2025 Winter

International Otaku Expo Association(IOEA) Comiket Social Gathering 2025 Winter.

The venue was bustling with people who had come to Japan from all over the world to attend Comiket!

IOEA’s mission is to connect more than 1,000 otaku events held around the world—with a combined total of over 20 million participants—so that people who love otaku culture can become friends across national borders and help the culture itself evolve.

It was a gathering place for otaku culture enthusiasts from all over the world—a place that truly embodied that philosophy.

Mr. Sato, the company representative, introduced me to some truly unique and inspiring people, and I had a wonderful time (*^^*)
