Okaerinasaimase, Goshujin-sama, Ojou-sama!

Let me tell you a little bit about Tokari.

Inspired by Japanese Maid Cafes, Tokari was formed as a recreational and entertainment group to cater to the otaku community in Southern California. We are a group of girls who are passionate about Japanese culture and wish to share this passion via themed events, social gatherings, and local conventions. Additionally, we place great value in charity work and promoting a positive value system based on friendship and acceptance. We are, furthermore, the maids of Ninja-Con, an indie convention based out of Little Tokyo in Los Angeles, California. Our debut was made on June 6th, 2013 and have been steadily growing and progressing ever since. We thoroughly enjoy the maid cafe setting, but as a group, we extend beyond that. We are different! We are unique! We are moe! 

This is most of us. Aylin (me!), Hikari, Chise, Yui, Kiki, and Estela.

Every single one of us play an exceedingly important role and we always work collectively with our head maid, Chise and under the supervision of Azure Lorica, our handlers. We are striving to become a non-profit organization, and are always looking for opportunities to involve ourselves in the otaku community! 

I'll have many more photos, recaps and news about upcoming events in the near future. This is just a short dossier on who we are and what we do. We'll soon be publicly introducing our new maids and have a bunch of events and appearances lined up!
