Making his monumentous return to the state of Arizona is the one and only Crispin Freeman! Mr. Freeman is one of the most well-known and beloved voice actors on this side of the Pacific Ocean. With over 150 projects under his belt, chances are he's worked on an anime or video game that you know and love.
Vic has been acting for stage and screen since he was 8 years old, but he started his career in anime a little over ten years ago as Vega in Streetfighter II. Since then Vic has  been in more than a hundred and fifty shows and video games, known for such roles as Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, Tamaki Suou in Ouran High School Host Club, Fai in Tsubasa Chronicle, Dark in DN Angel, Kurz in Full Metal Panic, Broly in Dragonball Z, Kougaijji in Saiyuki, Ikkaku in Bleach
Con-nichiwa is proud to support the American Red Cross with our blood drive on Saturday March 27th at our convention. The number one reason donors say they give blood is because they "want to help others."
The Elevens is a cover band dedicated to playing music from anime, video games and pop songs from Japan and America. The band is also known for the stage presence during their performance by dressing in cosplay, and for each show, it means different cosplays from Code Geass to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
Peachcake is something that was created in hopes of making the world a safer, better, happier place for all the creatures inhabiting it. The group team up with various individuals from time to time, who help further their quest, enhance their ideologies/enablement of creative endeavors, and see eye to eye on their desire to help people and improve the earth’s homeostasis.
Formed in 2006, Kitsune Robot was one of the world's first anime cover bands. They are devoted to playing covers of the most awesome anime, video game, Jpop, and Jrock songs.

J. Michael Tatum is thrilled to be part of Con-Nichiwa’s debut in beautiful Tucson, Arizona; a city he visited once long ago and has ached to return to ever since. Nurtured on anime classics from the tender age of Star Blazers, et al, this reclusive fanboy-turned-voice actor/writer/ADR director/flake extraordinaire spent more years than he cares to remember in what might charitably be described as freefall before landing –mostly by accident—smack dab on the industry of his dreams. To this day, some believe the small crater made by the impact remains the source of his power.
Ms. Marchi's most well known voice role is that of the sexy thief-for-hire Rinslet Walker, in Black Cat, and more recently she is known for Masane Amaha in the anime adaptation of Witchblade in addition to those characters she has had roles on Fullmetal Alchemist, Negima!, and Yu Yu Hakusho.
Katie Bair is probably best known for the stunning (an numerous!) wig designs she has created for cosplayers and costumers all over the world.  She is an award winning cosplayer, experienced craftsmanship judge, and costuming mentor.
