2026 Guest of Honor - Darius Washington

Please welcome back Darius Washington as our next official announcement for Guests of Honor at #COAF2026!

Darius became addicted to anime after watching Robotech as a kid. Since then he's been working with the medium for over 30 years doing industry and promotion work for conventions as well as writing various kinds of articles for anime websites. He currently serves as the Anime Industry Coordinator for Momocon in Atlanta, Georgia and writes reviews for The Fandom Post. When not doing videography around the city, he catches up on pro wrestling while lamenting why the Falcons can't win the Super Bowl.
