A brand new academic year at RIT is starting up soon! New students, have you seen RIT's Top 100 list of things to do? Number 44 sounds pretty fun if you ask us. 👀

Why Can't Tora-Con?

Thank you for attending Tora-Con 2025, this marks our post-con wrapup! We always want to respond to feedback and improve our convention for our attendees, but there are some things out of our control. Please give the “Why Can’t Tora-Con?” page a read to find any answers you’re looking for! 

TDLR; we are a college student run convention bound by the rules of our college :( 

[tora-con]

We’ve focused on all these different aspects of Tora-Con, but what's the most important thing of all? Our attendees! We hope you enjoyed your time at Tora-Con this year, our staff (yes, most of us are students) work their hardest to run the best show we possibly can <3

[tora-con]

While we weren't able to get too many photos (hint hint) of our events and panels, here are some captured moments of the J-Rock band Stackke, our Karaoke event, and the Asian Dance Showcase!

PS. Want a certain panel at Tora-Con but can’t seem to find it? We want YOU to host it :)

Now, for the part that everyone's most excited for… the Artist Alley and Vendors! Or maybe our wallets fear it the most– either way, we had an amazing selection of artists and vendors this year. We hope your conhauls were as fun as our own staffs’ hauls!

(New social media manager’s tiny haul included, bonus points to anyone who knows who these guys are!)

[tora-con]

What kind of con would we be without any cosplayers? Here are several highlights! Our staff loved being on the lookout to see if anyone's cosplayed our favorite characters :D 

What were some of your favorite cosplays you spotted?

[tora-con]

Surprise, we have even more photos of our lovely guests! Please send extra love to our cosplay guests, EarlCrayTea, ChibiTifa, Lutavia, and Starfall Blade for hosting and judging our Cosplay Contest, and the Chalk Twins for bringing impressive artwork to Tora-Con year after year.

Plus, a bonus Matt Shipman and Matthew David Rudd (and a cameo from AJ Beckles)!

[tora-con]

Thank you everyone for joining us for Tora-Con 2025! Follow along as we post memories from the con weekend, starting off with our amazing VA guests at their signing tables!

Special thanks to our VAs:

Tomorrow already?!? 😱 We're hastily preparing for tonight's early badge pickup from 8pm - 10pm in the Gordon Field House! We are aiming to open Field House doors at 7pm to get early arrivers out of the cold. We will not disperse you if you do, but for your health please don't arrive sooner than that if you can avoid it!

[tora-con]

Only THREE more days! Hope the con crunch isn't hitting too hard...  Let's welcome in this year's visiting food trucks: @RollnDeepRoc, @TheBrunchBoxRoc, and @lepetitpoutine ! 

 All food trucks are located across the road from the Gordon Field House entrance.
