Youmacon is an annual four-day anime convention held during November at Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan, United States.[3] Youmacon's creation was inspired by other conventions including Anime Central and Ohayocon, with the convention's name coming from the Japanese word for demon or ghost.[1][6] Founded by Morgan Kollin in 2005, it is the largest anime/gaming convention in Michigan.[7][8] Midwest Media Expo was the convention's sister event.[9]
