SugoiCon is an anime convention in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky metropolitan area. The first three SugoiCons were informal gatherings, and were held in a location nicknamed "Joe's Garage" in Dayton, Ohio as an annual event honoring fan fiction creator Fred Lee Cain. Cain was the creator of a character called "Sugoi", which was loosely based on the series Urusei Yatsura. The character has served as the convention's mascot since then. The first major event, SugoiCon IV, took place at a since-demolished convention center in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1996, and was attended by about 150 people. The convention returned to "Joe's Garage" for V-VII. The non-profit organization Southwestern Ohio Regional Animation began to host SugoiCon as a public convention in 2000.

  • SugoiCon is an anime convention in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky metropolitan area. The first three SugoiCons were informal gatherings, and were held in a location nicknamed "Joe's Garage" in Dayton, Ohio as an annual event honoring fan fiction creator Fred Lee Cain. Cain was the creator of a character called "Sugoi", which was loosely based on the series Urusei Yatsura. The character has served as the convention's mascot since then. The first major event, SugoiCon IV, took place at a since-demolished convention center in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1996, and was attended by about 150 people. The convention returned to "Joe's Garage" for V-VII. The non-profit organization Southwestern Ohio Regional Animation began to host SugoiCon as a public convention in 2000. SugoiCon's stated goal is to give appreciation to anime artists. The convention's guests have included Takao Koyama, the chief writer for shows such as Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya; Ichiro Itano, animation director of installments of Macross and director of Gantz; Masao Maruyama, co-founder of Studio Madhouse; and Kazuko Tadano, character designer for Sailor Moon and Wedding Peach. The programming at SugoiCon changes every year. Ongoing activities at the convention include video rooms, workshops, guest panels, karaoke, dances, concerts, and cosplay. The founders of SugoiCon never decided on the official spacing of the name, so the usages "SugoiCon", "Sugoicon", and "Sugoi Con" are all valid.
