 Making it all the way to its second year, Hentai Matsuri recently returned to the Handlery Hotel in San Diego. This 18+ only convention has quickly become one of A-to-J's favorite conventions, and this year was even bigger than the first! The con once again had special rules allowing topless cosplays in non-public areas, and there were a lot of risque outfits to reflect those choices. While you won't see anything too extreme here, the gallery might be a bit spicier than you might be used to. Please keep that in mind while perusing, and bear in mind that this is only a small sampling of the amazing cosplayers we saw over the course of the weekend. Check out the pics below, and look forward to more coming soon! All photos by Ivan Aburto.

 FanimeCon is one of one of A-to-J's favorite conventions ever, and it recently returned to the San Jose Convention Center this past Memorial Day weekend. Running for over three decades, FanimeCon is also one of the largest conventions on the West Coast. Its size and relevance means that it draws in some of the best cosplayers from around the country, and even the world. We attended the entire weekend, and were lucky enough to photograph a few of the amazing cosplays that make this one of the best shows ever. Below is a gallery made up of cosplayers that we spotted on Sunday, Day Three, of the con. Check it out, and be sure to keep an eye out for more! All photos by Ivan Aburto.

Kaho Shibuya is a content creator, streamer, cosplayer, and published author. She's probably best known for her gaming and IRL streams over on Twitch, and for her various convention appearances. One can usually see her at these events cosplaying a variety of characters, and we've had the joy of catching up to her several times over the years. We previously interviewed her back in 2018, 2019, and 2024, and we were lucky enough to catch up to her again at this year's Anime Los Angeles. This time around we discussed her activities and collaborations that have taken place throughout 2024, her thoughts on video game and anime remakes, how she views her regular fans, and some of her plans for 2025. Having quite the varied career, there is sure some aspect of it that you'll want to check out! Fans of Kaho, or those who are discovering her for the first time, will definitely want to read on and check out her social media links at the end!
