We are artists, staffs, attendees, and sponsors of Kintoki-Con, an event that focuses on bringing the convention's experience back to the culture; and to the fans.
In addition to celebrating Japanese culture and animation, we will embrace other cultures, such as Korean and Chinese influences.
Please join us at our next convention in Sacramento, California on June 18-19, 2011!.
So what is Kintoki-Con?
Kintoki-con is a con created not just around Japanese media (though it is a great part of it) but also Korean and Chinese. Afterall, Japan would not have existed without China right? (Hetalia reference). Korea's recent shining days are also a welcoming show of just how fast it can catch up to the game.
Why Kintoki-Con?
The name Kintoki was a spoof from Golden Hour (or Golden Time), which is when most TV stations host the hottest shows. For Japan it's when the otakus get home from work.
In China it's when kids go online in search of their favorite anime after school. In the US...its the news hour when parents get home and cartoon hour for the kids (or at least it used to be cartoon hour...lol).
Kaze-Hime (http://kaze-hime.deviantart.com) of Deviantart was the one who came up with the name, after much debating over other name options.
We are now looking to fill up the staff positions and as well as looking for volunteers too.
Nothing is set in stone yet but volunteers gets a free badge and 2 free meals =D, and you only need to work 16 - 18 hours through out day 0 - 2.
More info. will be posted as time comes.
Also you get a cool boss like me =P
sounds like Fun. The summer of 2011 is gonna be busy, thats for sure. :D
we've got more coming so stay tuned! ^ ^
I'm interested in becoming staff but I can't say I'll be there for sure until the date gets closer.

How often / mandatory are staff or volunteer meetings ?
Could a person say from the SJ or bay area be able to help out in the Sac area despite the distance?
I live about an hour and a half away from Sac, compared to 5-6 hours to SJ or SF. It'd be a waste for me not to go, but to attend meetings regularly it could still get a bit troublesome. I have an idea though, a live video stream of the meeting could make things easier for those who live too far.

Yes people who live further away are welcome to help out. We could even set up some of the meetings over there so you guys don't have to travel as far (or even create a halfway point for meetings)

I'm not sure how that would work but I will ask our tech guy about it.
If you are interested in staffing or Volunteer just shoot us a email at
[email protected]Thanks!
^ You could try creating a private room on tinychat and send out a link and password to whomever wants to attend via online. You can use the video chat function to broadcast the meeting live. If online participants have questions they can use the chat box. Of course there should be someone monitoring this.
I'm not sure how to use a chat room, again I'd have to consult our tech guy ^^;
Thank you for the information though.
And video wouldn't be helpful since not everyone has a webcam (myself included)
TEAM LOVEHATE ANNOUNCES ART CONTEST! WINNERS CAN BE VIEWED AT OUR CON AND 2 OTHERS! CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION! (http://teamlovehate.blogspot.com/2010/10/team-lovehate-show-your-soul-art.html)
oh this is tempting... so many cons I want to go to. Theres no way Work will let me off for all of them. I'll have to keeps tabs on this one.
You could always go one day so it doesn't look so bad to your work ^^;
(I'm assuming you work some sort of retail which makes it hard to get weekends off like me huh?)
Not sure I want to go that far for a con unless there are some good guests (particularly seiyuus and industry people). This is one of the reasons why I don't take the trouble to go Sac Anime. Apologies if I sound rude but I do wish your con all the best.
We're working on it. Just give us a bit of time ^^
ANNOUNCMENT FROM MAIDS: Applications for Maid Cafe are now closed; thank you to all who applied.
Pre-registration price is currently $15 until 11/24!
*Please do not use this registration system if you plan to book a hotel room*
http://kintoki-con.com/reg.html
We still have staff positions that need filling!
Here's the link to the openings and application form:
http://kintoki-con.com/staffopen.html
What is "Bootleg Secret Service?"
Our undercover group that snoops through all the vendor booths in search of bootleg merchandise. They are also responsible for detecting art thieves in Artist Alley
That sounds really cool, but it guess it will take a little bit of studying on the Artist Alley part.
That's why we have people who know the internet and follow DA/SA/MB, etc.
It's not that hard if you know what to look for. ^ ^
BTW
Only a few more days left till the pre-reg goes up to $20.
Also note to parents. If you have little ones under 12 and under please let us know for badges!
If you're not planning on booking a room then be sure to pre-reg before it goes up! ^^

Good thing with ours is that you can get away with telling them this one is more of a anime/cultural convention. =)

NEW ANNOUNCEMENT!
Mary Elizabeth McGlynn voice of Major Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex & Second Gig, and Julia from Cowboy Bebop will be at Kintoki-con 2011~
She was confirmed on Friday January 7th. =)
http://kintoki-con.com/goh/marymcglynn.html
HOTEL REGISTRATION IS ONLINE!
Hotel rooms come with two free badges and a free event pass. For more details or to book a room visit: http://kintoki-con.com/registration/hreg.html
From the Team4D DA.
As some of you may have heard, 4th Dimension Entertainment now is running it's own convention--Kintoki-Con. It is an Anime convention but we are also including elements from other Asian arts and culture, such as Chinese and Korean.
It will be held in Sacramento, California, at the Downtown Hyatt on June 18 and 19 (with a special preview night and guest dinner on the 17th). That is right across the street from the state capitol!
While we are including all the classic elements of an anime con, we are also having a more heavy focus on the industry then most, including workshops from industry professionals on everything from Voice Acting 101, to Drawing for Manga (Yes, with actual Manga artists from Japan).
You can find out all the details at Kintoki-Con.com
We already have a few awesome guests lined up.
Mary Elizabeth McGlynn, who voiced The Major (Motoko Kusanagi)from Ghost in the Shell, and Julia from Cowboy Bebop, and Catwoman in the upcoming Batman Year One animated movie, among countless other well known characters (as well as having a stellar career as a voice director), will be participating in both panels and workshops (and signing autographs). Check out more about her career here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0569479/ and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Elizabeth_McGlynn
Richard Epcar, who voiced Batou from Ghost in the Shell, Jigan from Lupan the III, and Myotismon from Digimon (Just tossed that in for fun), among dozens and dozens of other famous characters in anime and video games, and who has a solid career in Voice Direction as well, will be participating in both panels and workshops (and signing autographs). Check out more about his career here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Epcar and here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0258268/
Ryusuke Hamamoto is world famous as both a Manga artist and Toy Designer. His Petite Eva series for Gainax propelled him into fame, where his unique anime style was commissioned by several companies to create lines of figurines for everything from Neon Genesis Evangelion, to The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, to Gurran Lagann! His work has become so popular that it is now released under the heading of "R-Style," for Ryusuke! AND soon to be released in the U.S., just in time for Kintoki-Con, will be one of Ryu's original Manga series, LR Shoujo Tanteidan (LR Girls Detective), set to be published by 4th Dimension Entertainment (Hey that's totally us)! Ryusuke will be participating in panels and workshops for drawing and Manga production, as well as talking about his original works and figurine line! (And yes, there will be autographs!!!)
More AMAZING guests will be announced soon so keep watching!
In addition to amazing guests, we also will be having a world class, one of a kind Video Game tournament, with a well over $500.00 in prizes! It is called the Master of Games Tournament! This is a cross platform, multi-generational game tourny! What do I mean by that? I mean that to get the $500.00 grand prize you have to prove your unquestionable superiority as a gamer, not just on the PS3, Wii, and 360, but on the Atari, Intellivision, TurboGrafx, and many others--including the Virtual Boy (so "pain wavers" might have to be a requirement HA HA HA!).
Our Masquerade is being carefully planned as we speak. We are avoiding all the pitfalls that have plagued the Masquerades of some of the larger cons though careful planning... and better prizes. $500+ in prizes will be up for grabs so start getting those costumes ready!
We will also have a full Maid and Butler cafe, with a full menu of Asian and Western delicacies made just for Kintoki-Con, hosted in the the hotel's actual restaurant which we will be taking over for the festivities!
Of course there will be a full dealers hall, and artist alley, not to mention music, cars, a swap meet, and ton of other amazing stuff I will update more on soon!
What do you think so far? Pre-Reg is up on Kintoki-Con.com for those interested, and comes with a bag of totally awesome swag, not available to non pre-reg attendees!

Sounds good. Classes should be getting out for me at least 2-3 weeks before, so I'll have more time to plan. Heck, maybe I'll even stay up in Sacramento for the night to save the drive. Of course I'll have to verify that my schedule's clear beforehand.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO STOPPED BY DURING FANIME! MOON STREAM ENJOYED FANIME BECAUSE OF YOU GUYS!!~
See you in 3 weeks for an awesome concert and awesome events!!
I've been trying really hard to convince the mumzy to let me go to Kintoki and it's not working T.T
I hope you were able to make it out, if not there is always next year =)
