Kin-Yoobi Con is a relatively new anime convention located at Chabot College in Hayward, California. Now in its third year running, Kin-Yoobi Con is developed and organized by anime and video game fans. Our first year we attracted over 100 attendees and in our second year we had over 300 attendees, but no matter how big we get we will always strive to maintain the "small con atmosphere". What we mean by "small con atmosphere" is that our central focus will be forthmost placed on you, the attendee. We will never loose focus of what is most important, anime fandom, it will always be the driving force of Kin-Yoobi Con. Each event and activity at Kin-Yoobi Con is taylor designed specifically for the interest of an anime fan. Our staff is commited to maintain an intimate fanbased relationship with our attendees, there are no "behind the scenes business executives" calling the shots here. No matter how big we get, for us, anime fandom will always come first, and everything else comes after.
Kin-Yoobi means Friday in Japanese so you might be wondering why we are called Friday Con. Well, back in 2007 when we first started we were so small we couldn't even afford Saturday and had to settle for Friday. By keeping the name we keep that mentality. A constant reminder of that "small con" mentality, that despite how little (or how much) we have, we will continue to try our best to put our love for anime forward and share it with the world.
