Cosplay Mania 2026 Draws More Vtuber Guests Across Three Days
The guest lists show the convention circuit now carries both corporate and independent VTubers, and that the fan base in the Philippines organizes itself around that schedule.
Reporting from 1 source: VTuber NewsDrop.
Cosplay Mania 2026 ran October 2 to 4 in Manila with more guest VTubers than the previous year. Féileacán Cú of the independent scene appeared before Philippines fans, most of HOLOSTARS English was invited, and Ayunda Risu and Momosuzu Nene performed at the JAM Concert in their 3D models. Indie VTubers met fans through the 6-Seven and Releum booths.
The convention's three days split along predictable lines. HOLOSTARS English accounted for nearly a full slate of invited talents, with Jurard T Rexford and Octavio returning as guests and Banzoin Hakka and Machina X Flayon appearing at the event. The JAM Concert closed out Saturday night with Ayunda Risu and Momosuzu Nene, both performing with their 3D models, backed by a holoMeetup organized by HoloPro Fans PH. Independent creators worked the floor separately, and an Australian NIJISANJI fan named Nana ran a local meetup with Nijipape puppets on display.
