Tomo-Dachi was an anime convention based in Derry, Northern Ireland.[1]
Starting in the summer of 2005, Tomo-Dachi was the first anime convention to run in Ireland.[2]
The original venue was The Nerve Centre, on Magazine Street in the city centre of Derry. Tomo-Dachi, also known as TDXX (the "XX" is replaced by the year - such as TD05, TD06, etc.) is now held annually at the Magee College of the University of Ulster.[1]
The name of the event comes from the word tomodachi (ๅ้), which means "friends" in Japanese.
