Sakkumi

Cosplayer

Instagram

I'm Sakkumi! I'm an Okinawan/American cosplayer and artist who has been cosplaying since 2010. I found the joy of cosplay through attending anime conventions, and haven't looked back since. I enjoy making my cosplays when I'm able, and traveling across the states to attend or work at other conventions and events. I've had amazing opportunities to be a cosplay character actor, judge, guest, and panelist. My favorite part about cosplay is connecting with others by cosplaying a character we both love.

Hani Mitsubachi

VTuber & Cosplayer

Twitch

My name is Hani Mitsubachi, the one and only Delinquent King Bee! I'm a VTuber, cosplayer and retro game enthusiast. I've been cosplaying since 2016 and livestreaming since 2020. On Twitch, I stream retro games directly from the consoles I've had since childhood, as well as a variety of facecam and handcam streams where I cosplay or repair and decorate retro consoles. I love sharing my passions for the things I love through VTubing and I love bringing VTubing to the real world through cosplay!

Lee Wiley

Mascot Artist

Lee Wiley is a Utah-based illustrator and creator best known for his original stories Exodus — a diesel-and-steampunk fantasy set in an alternate 1800s America — and Expiration Date, a sci-fi thriller about a future where every citizen's life can end at random. He is also recognized for his signature cardboard art, using the medium's toned surface for high-contrast pieces that became a convention favorite and led to the coffee-table art book Cardboards Volume 1. A DSU and SUU graduate, and convention guest, Wiley continues to build worlds and bring characters to life.
