AniManGaki 2026 Brings Cosplay, Games and Japanese Pop Culture to Malaysia

Article

A major, long-running Malaysian convention is bringing together cosplay, gaming, and confirmed Japanese guests this weekend.

Dates and Venue

AniManGaki 2026 runs August 28-30, 2026, at MIECC in Selangor, Malaysia.

A Convention with a 2009 History

AniManGaki was founded in 2009, giving it a long-running history as a major anime, manga, cosplay, and gaming convention in the region rather than being a new or one-off event.

Confirmed Guests

Guests confirmed on the official page include voice actress Aya Hirano, artist KOTOKO, illustrator Hidetaka Tenjin, and the band STEREO DIVE FOUNDATION.

Who the Event Brings Together

AniManGaki includes artists, cosplayers, gamers, performers, and fan communities, reflecting the same broad, multi-genre approach found at other major regional conventions.

What To Know

A convention with confirmed Japanese guests spanning voice acting, music, and illustration gives Southeast Asian fans a rare chance to see recognizable creative figures in person, without the two events being interchangeable — AniManGaki's own specific lineup and 2009 founding history make it a distinct, long-running fixture in the region.

AniManGaki's guest lineup — spanning a voice actress, a music artist, an illustrator, and a band — reflects how Japanese pop culture exports extend well beyond anime itself into music and illustration as connected creative industries, all represented together at a single regional convention.
