Colossalcon East

StripperVash (or Zach) has been hosting events at conventions across the country for nearly fifteen years and is excited to return to Colossalcon East as the lovable Host we’ve always known. Originating from the Midwest, Zach has competed in masquerades, focusing primarily on skits and performance categories before transitioning into full-time hosting duties. He used to cosplay, and now he sorta doesn’t, but he’ll make sure that any event he hosts is a great time!

Kazha is a rock band founded by Japanese singer-songwriter Kazuha Oda (Kazha) and guitarist Hideki Matsushige in 2009. Kazuha is a classically trained singer who has worked in various genres of music from Classic to Heavy  Metal. Her work has appeared on the iTunes Top 100 charts of numerous countries for a significant amount of time. 

In 2011, they obtained their first nonimmigrant US Visa and toured more than 35 states within the first two years. Since then, they have been performing at numerous Anime and Comic Conventions and Festivals around the world. Kazha was originally a four-piece band, but in 2014 it became a three-piece band, with Kazuha on both bass and vocals. They have shared the stage with national artists such as George Lynch, LA Guns, Y&T, Trapt, Adelitas Way, and King’s X. 

Kazha is from Japan but represents the Birth Place of Rock’N’Roll Memphis TN as an Official “Music Export Memphis” Ambassador and is currently touring nationally in the USA.
