Thousands of cosplayers from Delaware to California, and even some from overseas, have a tradition of flocking to Maryland every February for one of the top anime conventions in the world: Katsucon.
The three-day convention would’ve launched Valentine’s Day weekend, but organizers pulled the plug because of the pandemic.
Wilmington resident Jacob Capodanno said ending the con was the right call. But now Capodanno and thousands of others are left with Katsucon memories.
After hearing rave reviews about Katsu, Capodanno finally made his debut in 2020, premiering his original cosplay: Dr. Spider-Man. The cosplay featured Spider-Man in medical scrubs with a box of Uncle Ben’s rice.
