CharaExpo USA is a Japanese anime and games convention organized by Bushiroad, and held its inaugural event in the same venue the previous year in November 2018. CharaExpo USA 2018 featured 4 Trading Card Game tournaments, signing sessions with over 30 voice actors and pro-wrestler guests, BanG Dream! live concerts, talk stages for Cardfight!!
