What does "Tora" mean? RIT's mascot is the tiger, and "tiger" in Japanese is "tora". Put that together with "convention" and you get Tora-Con! Tora-Con is an annual two-day convention in Rochester, New York celebrating anime, cosplay, and nerd culture in general. Since we began as a humble cosplay contest in 2004, Tora-Con has grown into a major event with thousands of attendees. Every year we feature anime industry guests from around the world (yes, even Japan!), a packed schedule of fan panels, contests, major events, and performances; as well as a Dealer's Room filled with vendors selling genuine anime merchandise and an Artists Alley for artists to sell their own creations. Come enjoy a full weekend of anime-themed events, cosplay, games, and convention fun!
