Haitian Otaku Party: A Celebration of Japanese Culture in Port-au-Prince

Le Haitian Otaku Party célèbre la culture japonaise à Port-au-Prince, offrant un espace créatif à la jeunesse haïtienne passionnée d’otaku.

On Saturday, August 30, 2025, the Haitian capital will host one of the most anticipated events for fans of Japanese pop culture in Haiti. Organized by Tokumei HT Haitian Otaku Events, the new edition of Haitian Otaku Party promises to be a must-attend for anime, manga, video game, and cosplay enthusiasts.

Since its creation in 2022, Tokumei HT has aimed to bring together fans of Japanese culture through festive, creative, and inclusive events. Born from a simple group of friends sharing a common passion, this collective has, in just three years, become an important player in Haiti’s alternative cultural scene.

An Initiative Born from a Need for Representation

“It all started from a simple observation: there were few, if any, spaces dedicated to young Haitians interested in otaku culture,” says Pedjean Corentin, the general secretary of the organization. Tokumei HT decided to fill this gap by offering gatherings where everyone can express themselves freelywhether through a costume, a drawing, or a lively discussion about the latest Japanese series.

In just three years, the initiative has brought together a loyal community. Each event attracts more and more participants, confirming the growing interest in this universe among Haitian youth.

A Day Filled with Imagination

For the 2025 edition, the day will be divided into two main parts. The morning, from 10 AM to 2 PM, will be entirely dedicated to children. They will enjoy manga drawing workshops, anime screenings, and various supervised activities in a family-friendly atmosphere.

In the afternoon, from 2 PM to 8:30 PM, the program will target teens and young adults with video game tournaments, anime quizzes, karaoke, and of course, the much-anticipated cosplay contest. This competition will highlight participants’ creativity as they bring their favorite characters to life in original ways.

Showcasing Local Talent
Haitian Otaku Party will also be an opportunity to showcase many talents. Competitions will be held for video game lovers. The cosplay contest will offer a grand prizea laptop sponsored by GRINDERS TECHas well as other awards for standout participants.

The event is open to everyone, with no age restrictions. Tickets will be available on-site or via the PAMEVENTS platform. Children must be accompanied by an adult for the afternoon session.

A Creative Break from Daily Struggles
Given Haiti’s current difficulties, where opportunities for young people to celebrate are increasingly rare, Haitian Otaku Party offers a breath of fresh air and shows a youth trying to connect with the rest of the world, asserting its existence. It’s above all a chance for manga lovers to gather around a shared passion.

Ultimately, this event is not just a celebration for Japanese pop culture fansit’s also a learning opportunity for those who wish to explore more about Japanese culture.

The Monferrier Dorval Chair of Constitutional Law, a gesture from the State University of Haiti, for the preservation of the memory of Professor Dorval

The Monferrier Dorval Chair of Constitutional Law is a high-intellectual-intensity initiative, taken by the State University of Haïti (UEH), through the leadership of its rectorate, in agreement with the leaders of the Faculty of Law and Economics (FDSE). The initiative’s primary goal is to honor and perpetuate the memory of the valiant and brilliant Professor Monferrier Dorval, assassinated in unclear circumstances, about three years ago. And in order to make a scientific contribution to the great debate that has been going on in Haitian society for about ten years about the need to change or not, the constitution of March 29, 1987, amended on May 11, 2011. Shouldn’t we try to apply it preferably? If it needs to be changed, should this change be radical, otherwise what should it have in terms of change within a new mother law for a better institutional organization of Haiti. The chair is scientifically chaired by Professor Henri Marge. Dorléans, (current head of AFPEC), and is vice-chaired by the dean of the faculty of law and economics, Me Eugène Pierre Louis. The Chair is materialized by a set of conferences and debates (15 in total), which take place in the premises of the Office of the Protection of the Citizen OPC, under the name of Wednesday of the Monferrier Dorval Chair. It is in this sense that for the fifth edition of the Wednesday of the chair (which took place this Wednesday, October 9, 2024 at the OPC, in the presence of the protector of the citizen, Me Renan Hédouville), attention was placed on education within the debate surrounding the possible development of a new constitution for Haiti. This 5th meeting took place under the theme of: "Education, Teaching, Research, Science and Technologies". The conference was hosted by three greats of the Haitian intellectual community, including two eminent professors of the UEH, namely, Professor Odonel Pierre Louis, academic director of the École normale supérieure (ENS); the vice rector of the UEH, Professor Jacques Blaise. Their interventions were followed by that of the director of the national institute of vocational training (INFP) Mr. Dikel Delvariste.
