About the event

Tokyo, OK (TOK) is a fan-based convention with a focus on Japanese Anime, Culture, and Pop Culture. With a mission of "Education and Building Community Through Entertainment", Tokyo, OK proves that education does not have to come from traditional sources and that even two vastly different world views can find common ground. From humble beginnings as a parking lot block party and despite many road blocks, Tokyo, OK has grown each year. The Eighteenth Annual Tokyo, OK will be held on June 25-28, 2026. Tokyo, OK hosts over 300+ hours of programming for Anime, Gaming (Console, Video and Tabletop), Japanese and Oklahoma Culture, Art, Writing, Music, Shopping (with vendors, artists and exhibitors from all of the country) and much more! Join us for a full weekend of nonstop fun! Tokyo, OK, TOK, and all content is managed by the Oklahoma Society for Culture Appreciation.
