Due to an incident that led to his father’s forced resignation from the police force, Tatsuya has been estranged from his family for quite come time.

Katanagatari: Togame

katanagatari cosplay - togame / princess yousha by gongju tomiaA self-entitled strategist, Togame arrived on the island Yasuri Shichika resides in order to seek his help in finding the final twelve swords forged by Shikizaki Kiki. Her father, Hida Takahito, was actually killed by Shichika’s father, but Togame believes that people who work for love can be trusted the most, which is why she tells Shichika to fall for her. Togame’s real name was revealed to be Princess Yousha.

Pretty cosplay by the lovely Korean cosplayer, Gongju Tomia! I wonder if she goes to a studio to get her photos taken? She has a lot of different backdrops for her cosplays! Thanks to Gilbert for suggesting this!

Final Fantasy VII: Tifa Lockhart 03

final fantasy vii cosplay - tifa lockhart 3 by airaFrom the book “Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Ω" by Studio BentStuff, we get a glimpse of one of Tifa alternate costumes. The developers of Final Fantasy VII chose to keep her mini-skirt as a staple of her design, much to the delight of fan boys everywhere.

I don’t know much about the game itself, but I do know Aira makes a fabulous Tifa. Thanks to Lilica for sending this!

Fruits Basket: Souma Yuki (and a Tag)

fruits basket cosplay - yuki soumaSince Mr. Rock Out tagged me, and the last time I ever got to post a personal article was a Side Rant on the Ragnarok Cosplay of Sohee, I decided to first feature a cosplay of a character I most relate to: Souma Yuki.

Just like Hatori and Momiji, Yuki is a member of the 13 cursed Souma family members. His sign is the Rat’s, and he is very popular in his school, giving him the title of “Prince”.

And I really like this cosplay… Too bad this Yuki is a girl.

And so, as promised, here is Mr. Rock Out’s Tag…

Gundam Seed: Yzak Joule

gundam seed cosplay - yzak joule Yzak Joule is one of the elite pilots of ZAFT in the series Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny. In Gundam Seed, he was under the command of Rau Le Creuset, leader of the prestigious ZAFT Le Creuset special operations team. He is very proud of his elite status, and considers Athrun Zala to be his primary rival.

This character may not be at the top of my favorite characters’ list, but it’s hard to deny how awesome this cosplay is. To explain why this cosplayer is covering his/her right eye, it’s because in the series, Kira Yamato gave him a scar in one of the battles they fought in. Technically, it’s on on his right eye, but above it, and across his face, but it makes sense to people who’ve seen the series.

Final Fantasy VII: Aerith Gainsborough

final fantasy 7 cosplay - aerith gainsboroughFirst, I have to say… This girl looks like the same cosplayer as Felicia of Darkstalkers.

Makes me curious to know who she really is… But I unfortunately have no leads.If anyone can point me in the right direction, I’m all ears!

Anyway, Aerith, the flower girl of Final Fantasy VII who turned out to be the one who can summon the only force capable of repelling the ultimate destructive magic handled by Sephiroth known as “Meteor”. She unfortunately perishes in the game, but most Final Fantasy VII fans still see her as an icon of the series.

That weapon she’s holding look like it’s really made out of marble. Awesome job with this cosplay!

Final Fantasy X: Rikku

final fantasy x cosplay - rikkuTechnically, this is the 5th Rikku I’m posting on this blog. But I didn’t label the post that way because she is the first Rikku I found who cosplayed the X version rather than the more popular X-2 versions.

Rikku is perky and optimistic. She has a close friendship with Tidus, as they are quite similar in their personalities. Since she is an Al Bhed, she suffered discrimination from the Yevonites, but this didn’t change her positive outlook in life. She did whatever she could do to save Yuna from giving her life with the Final Summoning.

I think I like this costume of Rikku’s more than the X-2 ones… I’m not entirely sure why that it. But I think a lot of people will disagree with me on this.

xxxHolic: Watanuki Kimihiro and Ichihara Yuuko

xxxholic cosplay - watanuki kimihiro and ichihara yuukoThis is probably one of the best cosplays I’ve ever come across!

Then again, I tend to say that about all the cosplays I feature here don’t I?

Watanuki Kimihiro is an ordinary student in an ordinary world… But he has a secret. He can see ghosts, demons, and spirits! He meets Ichihara Yuuko, a time and space witch, who claims to have to ability to grant any wish, for a price! And what price does Watanuki have to pay to grant his wish to never see spirits again? Work in Yuuko’s shop as a part-time job, which includes cooking, cleaning and other household chores!

READ MORE - xxxHolic: Watanuki Kimihiro and Ichihara Yuuko

Fruits Basket: Souma Akito

fruits basket cosplay - souma akitoPeople who only watched the anime of Fruits Basket will argue that Akito should be cosplayed by a guy, but the manga reveals that she is actually a girl! I was pretty shocked when I read it… She probably doesn’t want to be a girl because she despises them, saying that they are sneaky creatures that seduce the male Juunishi away from her.

The reason why she is basically the head of the Souma Clan since she is considered to be the Jade Emperor, the ruler of the 12 signs of the Chinese Zodiac, so her word is absolute. She’s also very sickly, and the anime mentioned she only has 30 years to live, though I’ve never seen that in the manga.

This is an awesome cosplay of Akito! Very accurate, though I’m not too intimidated by her…

Black Lagoon: Revy

black lagoon cosplay - revyContrary to popular belief (including Havel’s blog where this image was originally found), this is not Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, but rather, she is Revy from Black Lagoon. Although the two characters are quite similar to each other, the give away hint is the tattoo on her arm.

Just like Lara, Revy is quite a proficient warrior, but she is rather strong willed, using whatever means necessary to have her way. She is a murderess, and a thief and uses a lot of foul language; one could even say she has no conscience. Because her weapons of choice are her twin modified Beretta 92F’s, she is nicknamed “Two-Hands” by the people of Roanapur.

Cowboy Bebop: Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV aka "Ed"

cowboy bebop cosplay - edward wong hau pepelu tivrusky IV aka ed

Omg… Nice pose! This girl must do yoga or something. That’s pretty difficult to pull off!

The character she’s cosplaying is called “Ed” who is known how her flexibility and her hacking ability. She’s a bit strange and androgynous, and loves to use her feet on tasks you’d normally use hands to do (like scratch your nose, maybe?). She’s easily distracted, and you’d think of her as a “free spirit”.

Sailor Moon S: Sailor Saturn

sailor moon cosplay - sailor saturnOne of the most powerful Sailor Senshi in the Sailor Moon universe, Sailor Saturn, or Tomoe Hotaru yields the Silence Glaive, a weapon that can destroy the universe.

In the manga, Hotaru is a very mysterious character because she is part cyborg. This was her father’s attempt to save her from the lab accident that killed her mother. In the anime, however, she is not cybernetic, but she is still unpopular among her classmates due to her seizures.

It’s perhaps one of the most difficult tasks to cosplay one of the Sailor Senshi. Their uniforms are quite revealing (to the delight of fanboys everywhere). This cosplayer really got Sailor Saturn’s image perfectly! Great job!

Death Note: Kira, Misa, and L

death note cosplay - kira, misa, and l

Kids make really adorable cosplayers. Take this picture of Yagami Light (Kira), L. Lawliet (L), and Amane Misa for example. They’re the most adorable Death Note cosplayers I’ve seen so far!

I’ve decided to create a new category in this blog known as “Chibi” to place all the photos of children cosplaying in one group. You can’t resist them, since it’s like seeing your favorite character in their younger years.

I want to take L home now…

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Reno

final fantasy 7 cosplay - reno Reno is well known as the comic relief of Final Fantasy VII. He is a member of the Turks or Department of Administrative Research, a group that perform covert operations on behalf of Shinra. Though his way of wearing his Turks uniform portrays him to be lazy and arrogant, he is actually very skilled in using his weapon, the Electro-Mag Rod, and takes a lot of pride in his work. He also loves to gossip and is a pretty good helicopter pilot.

Quite an impressive cosplay of Reno. One can actually feel his arrogance through the photograph. I wouldn’t be surprised if he accidentally steps on Rude’s sunglasses again though…

Naruto: Momochi Zabuza 02

naruto cosplay - momochi zabuzaPretty cool cosplay of Zabuza if I do say so myself. I must apologize, however… I can’t remember whether this individual was a semi-finalist, or one of the winners of the G2Con. I do remember that during the event, his huge sword kept on hitting the ceiling unintentionally.

But I think he’s a nice rival for the first Zabuza I posted.

Oh the days of when digital cameras were a thing of luxury. I only had one shot to spare per cosplayer, and one chance to get it right. I think Zagato turned out better than this though, don’t you think so?

READ MORE - Naruto: Momochi Zabuza 02

Tomb Raider: Lara Croft

tomb raider cosplay - lara croftLara Croft is a Tomb Raider in search of lost treasures. Interesting note is that this character was honored a star in the Walk of Game and has earned a Guinness World Record for being the “most successful human video game heroine”.

And to think, she was originally just an Indiana Jones clone.

Actually, this isn’t a fan cosplay. Karima Adebibe is the official model for Lara Croft. She basically cosplays Lara for game promotions on radio, TV, and other media. She also had a small role as the sacrificial maiden in the movie Alien vs. Predator in 2004.

I still think, even if she’s being paid to look like Lara, she does an awesome cosplay. Professionalism at its finest.

Samurai Shodown: Nakoruru

samurai shodown cosplay - nakoruru I’m pretty sure this is Nakoruru from Samurai Shodown, but I don’t remember her to have a mask, do you?

Anyway, Nakoruru is living with her grandparent, Sanoku, and younger sister, Rimururu in a place called Ainu Moshiri Kamui Kotan. You could say that the Ainu people are like the Native Americans in the United States; people who are basically very close to nature. Nakoruru’s role in the game is the Defender of Mother Nature, and in some materials, she is refered to as the priestess of the Ainu religion.

I’m seriously wondering what this cosplayer looks like behind her mask… Nice photo still!

Xenosaga: KOS-MOS

xenosaga cosplay - kos-mos

The cosplay is awesome, and the bike is even more awesome, so please click on the image to view the larger image in its full glory…

The cosplayer is recreating KOS-MOS from Xenosaga, an android developed by the interstellar conglomerate Vector Industries. The name “KOS-MOS” stands for “Kosmos Obey Strategical Multiple Operation Systems”, a recursive acronym used to denote an anti-Gnosis tactic system. She has a tendency to put logic and probability first makes her difficult to manage at times. Her true identity is that of Mary Magdalene, called the partner of the Messiah.

KiLL BILL SEXY COSPLAY

KILL BILL SEXY COSPLAY

Sexy killings...


Kill Bill is a two-part action thriller film released in 2003 and 2004 by writer-director Quentin Tarantino, and starring Uma Thurman as The Bride. Originally conceived as one film, it was released in two "volumes" (in late 2003 and early 2004) due to its running time of approximately four hours. The film is an epic-length revenge drama, with homages to earlier film genres, such as Hong Kong martial arts films, Japanese Chanbara films, exploitation films and Italian spaghetti westerns; an extensive use of popular music and pop culture references; and aestheticization of violence. Filming took place in California, Texas, Beijing, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Mexico



Kill Bill è il quarto film di Quentin Tarantino.
Il film è uscito nelle sale cinematografiche diviso in due "volumi": secondo la Miramax, produttrice della pellicola, il film era troppo lungo, il che avrebbe penalizzato la proiezione. Tarantino si rifiutò di tagliare alcune scene per ridurre la durata, come proposto dalla Miramax, proponendo, invece, di dividere il film in due. Le due parti così ottenute sono uscite nelle sale di tutto il mondo rispettivamente nel 2003 e nel 2004 a pochi mesi di distanza l'una dall'altra come Kill Bill vol. 1 e Kill Bill vol. 2.

Microsoft: Xbox Sanrokumaru

microsoft cosplay - xbox sanrokumaruThe Xbox 360 is the second video console produced by Microsoft, competing with Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Nintendo’s Wii as a part of the 7th generation of video game consoles.

…but seriously, what the heck is this?!

Only in Japan will be able to find personifications of the strangest things. People were requesting me to put up a better photo of this guy ever since we got a glimpse of him from Rona McDonald’s photo.

I may have said this was one of the best cosplays ever attempted, but up close, it’s just plain creepy. Thanks to Miguel for sending the photo!

One Piece: Portgas D. Ace

one piece cosplay - portgas portgaz d. aceNicknamed “Fire Fist Ace”, Portgas D. Ace is the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. Although he was first implied to be the son Monkey D. Dragon and therefore the older brother of Luffy, he is actually the son of Gol D. Roger and Portgas D. Rouge. In order to hide his existence from the World Government, Rouge carried him for twenty months before giving birth. She died from exhaustion shortly afterwards, and Ace took her surname, owing her a great debt.

Stunning cosplay from Comiket 2010! Can’t believe there are still more of those coming into my inbox. Thanks to Heat for sending this in!

Ikkitousen: Sonsaku Hakufu

ikkitousen / battle vixens cosplay - sansaku hakufu / sun ce bofuThe not-too-bright protagonist of the series, Hakufu is immensely powerful despite being only being a D-ranked toushi. She cares very little for politics involved between the toushi and fights only for the sake of fighting. She is, however, staunchly against violence and killing. Hakufu possesses the unique gift of predicting enemy moves by reading the flow of chi around her opponent.

Beautiful cosplayer from Comiket 2010! It’s cute that she has those hair antennas on her wig. Isn’t that hard to keep standing like that? Thanks to Lita for sending this!

Unknown Entry 088

unknown cosplay 88 from comiket 2010She’s probably one of the booth girls at Comiket 2010 who isn’t really cosplaying any character in particular, but you have to admit, she’s got a really great smile. And she’s so cute that I can’t help but feature her on Cosplay Holic.

Anyone have any idea what company she’s representing at least? Thanks again to Tamia for suggesting this!

Won’t you share with me some of that bread you’re eating? It looks very delicious.

Please leave some comments if you have any idea who she might be cosplaying as. Thanks to Lorelei for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to Evelyn for commenting this is Ohino Shinobu from Bakemonogatari!
