Ikasucon is a convention focusing on the art of anime and its fandom. It is traditionally held during the month of July in Cincinnati, Ohio. Ikasucon has been held in Cincinnati since its inception in 2003. As a smaller convention, Ikasucon is known for allowing anime enthusiasts to personally meet and interact with many of the people responsible for anime production and promotions, including voice actors, producers, and heads of popular fan-created studios.

Ikasucon's staff is comprised of local volunteers from greater Cincinnati and throughout Ohio who work year-round to produce the annual event.
