Welcome to Comic Con Okinawa!

MCCS Okinawa offers many events for service members and their families on island that are fun for all ages and one of the most popular of these events is Comic Con Okinawa (CCO). Starting as a small library event in 2011, CCO has grown to become one of the most popular annual events in Okinawa with participation numbers reaching over 18,000.

This event is hosted on Camp Foster, a United States Marine Corps camp centrally located in Okinawa, Japan. The prime location bridges the unique community of all U.S. military service branches (Marine Corps, Army, Navy, and Air Force), their families, American and Japanese citizens over the epic celebration of all things related to comics, anime, gaming, sci-fi, and cosplay. One advantage we enjoy is being located in Japan—the birthplace of manga, anime, and karate.
