Ushicon was an anime convention that operated out of Austin, Texas. The convention was traditionally held in late January. The Ushicon mascot is named Ushiko and was designed by Jason Balduf. Ushicon was dedicated to improving the anime fan profile of Texas and brought many anime industry guests (like Koda Kumi, Hitoshi Okuda, Keitarou Arima, and Ikuko Itoh ).
On February 10, 2006 a notice on the Ushicon website indicated that the convention was ceasing operations due to changes in anime fandom.
[edit] Upcoming events
Recently, the web page was updated to promote Ushiko's Anime Block Party, a no-register, free event for anime fans. The event will be held at the La Quinta Inn in Austin, where it is requested that you get a room at the event site. The event is scheduled for January 26, 2007 through January 28, 2007.
