Ushicon is an annual three day anime convention held during February at the Wingate by Wyndham Hotel & Conference Center in Round Rock, Texas. The convention resumed operation in 2011 as an 18-and-older event. It was originally held in Austin, Texas, from 2002 to 2006 until ceasing operations due to changes in anime fandom and facility issues.

History
Ushicon did not return after 2006 due to issues with convention facilities in Austin not being able to handle 2,500-5,000 attendees and changes in the fandom that did not match with the goals of Ushicon. In 2007 an free "Block Party" was held to celebrate the American release of Princess Tutu with support from ADV Films. The event featured cast members from the American and Japanese releases, along with the series creator. In 2010, Chibi Ushicon was the convention's first 18 & older convention, with Ushicon returning as a full 18 & older convention in 2011.
