| Hoh Daiko Drummers |
 |
Hoh Daiko Drummers of Seabrook, New Jersey was established on February 23, 1991 under the auspices of the Seabrook Buddhist Temple. It chose Hoh Daiko for its name meaning the way of the drums. The group began by using discarded tires and plastic garbage cans as practice instruments and on the drum made for them by the Reverend Ron Miyamura of Chicago. Their dedication soon found the group making its own taiko (drum) from whiskey and wine barrels, learning the difficult traditional folk art from Soh Daiko of New York (the first taiko group on the East Coast). Hoh Daiko will open KotoriCon!

| Gavin Goska |
 |
Gavin has been entertaining audiences throughout the Midwest and beyond for the past three years with his unique acoustic take on favorite anime anthems. What began as a way to challenge himself both musically and linguistically quickly became a full-fledged labor of love and he has continued to expand both his song roster as well as his understanding of the Japanese language along the way.
Last year saw the release of Kaleidoscope, an all-original English-language vocaloid album by Subtle Inversion featuring Megurine Luka. A follow-up is already in the works, with an expected release date in late 2011 or early 2012. Gavin is also known as one half of the gothic orchestral horror outfit Midnight Syndicate, who just releasedCarnival Arcane, their 14th collection of original atmospheric songs. Rounding out Gavin's diverse collection of musical projects is Parlormuse, an exploration of the popular music of the Victorian era through modernized folk-rock arrangements that blend the new with the nostalgic.
