Coral Koi returns to AkaiCon to say Shello to new and old friends! An award-winning cosplayer turned professional mermaid performer, Coral Koi encourages others to dive into the cosplay niche of "mermaiding" where self-expression and creativity flourish. Coral Koi serves as the President of the Nashville Mermaid Pod, a local group of professional and amateurs merfolk enthusiasts where all are welcomed to be part of their world, in addition to being the founder of the Court of the Water Nymphs performance troupe featured at renaissance festivals throughout the Southeast. Sail by the booth to meet a mermaid, talk tails and other spe-shell equipment, and sea if mermaiding could o-fish-cially be your next obsession.
