SINCE its inception in 2022, Seishonen Guyana has proudly hosted “FumaCon,” an anime and comic convention designed to bring together fans with interactive activities, competitions, gaming stations, challenges, workshops, panel discussions, and a debate room.
Over the years, Seishonen Guyana has partnered with prestigious organisations, including the Embassy of Japan and the Brazilian Embassy/Instituto Guimarães Rosa, to deliver an immersive and vibrant cultural experience.
Looking ahead to 2025, Seishonen is preparing to elevate its presence in the cosplay world and continue making waves regionally.

This year, FumaCon will again serve as the exclusive gateway for local creatives to represent Guyana at the Caribbean Cosplay Championship, an annual competition held at the ALIAS Entertainment Expo in Trinidad and Tobago. The competition, now in its 11th year, has become the premier event for cosplayers across the Caribbean and Latin America to showcase their craft.

In 2024, Seishonen Guyana made a strong debut at the Championship, with Roberto Teekah, a multi-talented multimedia visual artist and fashion designer, securing second place for his stunning portrayal of “Koh the Face Stealer” from Avatar: The Last Airbender. This achievement was documented in the film FumaCon: The Road to the Caribbean Cosplay Championship, directed by Jamie Norville of Fusion Creative Studio & Jonathan Jacobus, which premiered at the Mexican Embassy in November 2024. The film is now available for free on YouTube, sharing Guyana’s cosplay journey with the world.
Looking forward, Seishonen Guyana is determined to secure first place in 2025 with Chantal Jagoo, the winner of the FumaCon 2024 Individual Cosplay Competition. Chantal’s incredible talent and creativity will represent Guyana on the regional stage, as we continue to showcase and amplify Guyanese youth talent in the international cosplay community.

To continue supporting and nurturing the vibrant creative community in Guyana, we are seeking sponsors and partners who believe in the power of youth talent and the importance of providing young creatives with opportunities to shine. If you’re interested in supporting Guyanese talent and helping us reach new heights at the 2025 Caribbean Cosplay Championship, please contact us at seishonenguyana@gmail.com.
