Fan projects

Creative together means strong together

A platform for your passions

DoKomi wouldn't be what it is without its fan communities. Fan projects are at the heart of the scene, which is why we dedicate specific areas and program items to them. This is where creative minds come together to turn their passion for anime, manga, games, and Japanese culture into their own projects-and share them with others.

Whether you want to meet new people, discover exciting projects, or present your own passion project, DoKomi is the perfect place to do so.

What to expect

In this colorful diversity, you'll find everything that moves the scene:

• Fan conventions: Get to know other convention organizers and exchange ideas and events.
• Content creators: From YouTubers to streamers to VTuber-discover your favorite artists up close.
• Communities & fan meetings: Meet like-minded people from Discord servers, forums, and local groups.
• Cosplayers and cosplay photographers: They give the scene a face and show off their work.
• Music projects: Bands, singers, and creative artists with ties to anime and Japan provide the perfect soundtrack.
• Gaming communities: From retro fans to modern esports teams-here you'll find fellow gamers and friends.
• Indie authors & bloggers: Immerse yourself in self-written stories, exciting blogs, and original ideas.
• German-Japanese associations: Cultural bridge builders who promote exchange and understanding.
