FanimeCon 2025 Cosplay Gallery (Day One)

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 Friday, Day One, of the con. Check it out, and be sure to keep an eye out for more!
