Built from scratch by a team of artists, merch hoarders, weebs, cosplayers, and whatever you call us, the DOKI! DOKI! Team is a bunch of passionate otakus who live and breathe anime, bringing you events you can truly connect with.
HUNDREDS OF ARTIST ALLEY APPLICATIONS
Our debut event was met with hundreds of applicants clamouring for a spot in Hall 403, making us eligible to become the biggest artist alley in the country’s history if we accepted everybody.
CHANGING ANIME EVENTS FOREVER
For visitors, we’ve added fandom lists to booth headers, and a sort-by-fandom artist catalogue; for artists, we’ve introduced booth neighbour selection, artist anti-AI & anti-theft protection, free food, cosplay maid/butler snack delivery teams, display grid rental services, & merch supplier promotions.

The first anime illustration auction house in Singapore, held during our debut. Featuring artworks from renowned artists who have never or rarely tabled abroad or locally. It was held on our official Discord server, and was reachable at our on-site Auction House Booth.
Doki! Doki! TEAM
The DOKI! DOKI! brand was founded in 2024 by a homegrown Singaporean artist. Previously, she had been tabling at anime conventions for close to 10 years, and this experience contributed to the success of the franchise’s first event.
Family and friends alike have come together to make the project possible, and with the constant pillars of support from very special family members and teammates that have lasted even until now, our events are here to stay.
The final lap team of DDAM’s very first event included 8 individuals who contributed greatly to its success. We would like to thank them for seeing our debut event through and beyond. They have given confidence and inspiration to bring DDAM to its fullest potential for the years to come.
The DDAM Team believes in keeping the sense of warmth & community alive in our event, whilst providing you friendly and professional service. ありがとう ございます !
