Meet the Community Behind KizunaCon Little Rock
KizunaCon Little Rock is being built with the community, not just for it.
From the very beginning, people from across Little Rock and Arkansas have stepped forward to share their ideas, talents, experience, and passion to help shape our first convention.
The people featured below are just some of the incredible individuals helping bring KizunaCon to life — from hosting panels, activities and cosplay programming to creating welcoming spaces for fans to connect.
Our local Brand Ambassadors are also playing an important role, helping spread the word, create content, connect us with the community, and make sure Little Rock has a real voice in what we’re building. As KizunaCon grows, we want every event to reflect the people and communities that make anime fandom special — and Little Rock is where that journey begins.
