History
IKKiCON was created in 2007, originally taking the date of Ushicon, and had higher attendance than expected. In 2009, voice actor Greg Ayres suffered a mild heart attack while attending the convention, and later thanked the staff for its response to the emergency. In 2015, the World Cosplay Summit held regional qualifiers at IKKiCON.
