Meet the Mascots!
Every year, FreeCon and its Promotions team work together
to create original characters that correspond with the convention’s theme.
Taiyou is bold, fiery and passionate compared to her brother Tsuki. She may be daring and outspoken most of the time, but she has a soft spot for her brother. Taiyou’s inspired by the sun goddess Amaterasu, frequently found in Japanese mythology and in the Shinto religion. Her name also means “sun” in Japanese.

FSU’s beloved mascot Renegade is incorporated into FreeCon 19’s theme as a Sagari, a yokai from Japanese Myth. Sagari are spirits of deceased horses whose spirits got trapped in a Hackberry tree. Hence rendering them unable to pass on into the afterlife.
