History
Sakura-Con's roots are from within the local science fiction convention community. A number of anime fans, including Daniel Harrison, decided that there was not enough anime content represented at conventions such as Norwescon, hatched the plan for an anime convention in a Tacoma, Washington comic book shop.[15] Originally named Baka!-Con, (baka or ばか is Japanese for idiot,) the first convention was held at the Double Tree Inn in Tukwila, Washington in 1998.[16] In 2000, Baka!-Con changed its name to Sakura-Con, (sakura or 桜 (alternately: さくら) is Japanese for cherry blossom).[1]
In 2002 the convention utilized 70 percent of the convention space at the Seattle Airport Hilton & Conference Center along with having county representatives and the local Japanese Consulate General speak at opening ceremonies.[7] Several guests canceled appearances in 2003, Yoko Ishida and Maria Yamamoto due to Pioneer company policy on traveling during international strife, and Akitaro Daichi and Atsushi Okuda.[17] The 2004 convention had a warm body attendance cap of 4,500 people.[18] In 2005 Sakura-Con had to limit its attendance to 5,100 and turned people away, resulting in the convention's move to the Washington State Convention & Trade Center.[19]
The event ran for over 55 hours in 2007 and had 1,200 hours of programming, with only about half the attendees being from the Seattle area.[1] Tatsunori Konno, the CEO of Bandai Visual USA, was heavily questioned about the company's pricing policies during their 2007 panel.[20] In 2009 the event included five concerts, three dances, a large gaming area, seven theaters, and over 1,000 hours of programming.[11][21] Registration line waits of three hours or more occurred due to the convention's growth.[8] Sakura-Con in 2009 brought an estimated $13 million to the Seattle economy.[22]
The convention covered six floors in 2010 and included six gaming rooms, seven panel rooms, and five video rooms.[12] At the opening ceremonies a wedding proposal occurred between two staff members. The Dazzle Vision and High and Mighty Color concert had over 4,000 attendees. Exist Trace's concert in 2011 drew over 3,000 attendees.[23] Before the 2012 convention around 12,000 attendees pre-registered.[24] Sakura-Con 2013 had the second largest impact of area conventions, adding $19 million to the local economy.[25] During the 2014 convention a cosplayer was held up at the nearby Freeway Park.[26] Sakura-Con was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[27][28][29][30]

The Asia-Northwest Cultural Education Association (Sakura-Con organizers) were given the Foreign Minister's Award from Japan on May 30, 2012. The award was given at the residence of the Japanese Consul General Kiyokazu Ota.[57][58]
Collaborations
Sakura-Con in 2013 returned to host the Anime Costume Contest at Dragon Fest 2013 in Seattle, Washington's Chinatown for the fourth time.[59]
