My Interests

San Japan, LLC is a non-profit organization tasked with operating a yearly Japanese culture and anime convention to provide high-quality education and entertainment for our attendees in a safe and fun environment, and to promote the acceptance and appreciation of the anime fandom in the mid-South and throughout the country as a whole. The inaugural convention is to be held in San Antonio, Texas.

Mission Statement: We, the staff of San Japan, are here to serve three purposes. Our first purpose is to bring Japanese cultural awareness to San Antonio through panels and workshops. Our second purpose is to bring international awareness through video and panels. Our third purpose is to make a strong community between the attendees and staff and keep lines of communication open.

I'd like to meet:
