The organization has held a “Harucon” event every spring (haru means spring in Japanese) and a “CAMI” (Convention of Anime and Manga in Israel) event every summer.
The event was organized by AMAI (the Association for Manga and Anime in Israel).
Asahi Shimbun and NHK reported today that Japan’s 59-year-old Ambassador to Israel, Koji Tomita, joined Harucon 2017, a convention dedicated to Japanese manga and anime held at the International Conventions Center in Jerusalem on March 12, cosplaying as Monkey D. Luffy from Eiichiro Oda’s internationally popular manga series One Piece.
