In case you missed it — SacAnime brought thousands of anime lovers and cosplay enthusiasts to downtown Sacramento Friday, Jan. 5, through Sunday, Jan. 7.

Guests of honor at the convention included voice actors like Colleen Clinkenbeard (Monkey D. Luffy in the English dub of “One Piece”) + Yuri Lowenthal (Sasuke Uchiha in the English dub of “Naruto”).

Our favorite part, of course, were the incredible costumes put together by visiting fans.

Attendees could also browse wares from shops like Triforce Cosplay and Accessories to beef up their cosplay arsenals.

Four cosplayers are dressed as Star Wars characters, donning storm trooper wear and helmets.
