Meet KillJoy
Born from a love of anime, games, and J-pop and vocaloid this Ottawa-based cover band brings the sounds of your favorite shows and games to life. Founded by the co-creator of Kawaii After Dark and the mastermind behind Killjoy, the band grew from a shared passion for Japanese music discovered through anime.
With carefully curated setlists featuring fan-favourite openings, endings, and iconic game tracks, they transform every performance into a high-energy, immersive experience. From local conventions in Ontario and Quebec to the stages of Kawaii After Dark, they make every anime moment you’ve ever loved feel real, live, and unforgettable.
