Chobits: Chi 14

Even if we became separated in the cold morning

I wonder what the sky is a part of
Surely, it's like a little flower petal
Just barely there and faint
The great sky that I can't even seem to keep my mind on
Goes beyond that

An endless night sky-
Though I'd like it if I become like that
If I can be close to you
If I can share everything with you

“I Hear You Everywhere”
Translated by Anime Lyrics

Like Sakura, it looks like Chi has also become a classic choice for cosplayers! And this Chi is really cute! I bet people wouldn’t mind taking her home if she really was an abandoned persocom! Thanks again to Marcello for letting me feature this!

Chobits / Marvel: Chi and Deadpool

While waiting for the second batch of cosplayers to walk on to the stage, I saw this adorable scene of Chi sitting with Deadpool. I think a conversation between these two characters would be pretty interesting, so even though the photo is pretty blurry, I wanted to feature them anyway.

I found out on the Octo Con event page that Deadpool’s cosplayer is Mark Anthony Vibas. He was pretty funny when he danced to Hatsune Miku’s “The World is Mine”, and he was a great stand up comedian too! I do hope I get to see more of him and his cosplays in future events.

Chobits: Chi 12

In the dark wind of a murky night
When I awake quietly and softly
Please let the world that reflects first
Let the voice that touches my ears
Be him for today, too
Please let everything be born from there on
And let no one live while suffering

I love the town that he is at
I love the rain that he is in
I love the sound that he is with

I hear you everywhere

“I Hear You Everywhere”

Kiyohari’s so doll-like that it’s almost creepy! Then again, other people would probably disagree with me and say that she’s actually quite cute! In any case, thanks to Coco for sending this in!

Chobits: Chi 11

The lovely Miss Ani-Mia as Chi from Chobits! But this is no ordinary Chi; some people might not recognize her clothing because this is a design from the official Chobits Art Book by CLAMP!

I remember seeing this on a trading card as well. In fact, I think I have that very card where Chi is with Sumomo… by the window I think?

Thank you for submitting this, Ani-Mia! You may see more of her work in her Facebook Page, so please give her a visit and show your support!

Chobits: Freya and Elda (Chi)

Created by Mihara Ichiro to be Hibiya's daughters, Freya and Elda lived happily with the couple until Freya fell in love with her own father and creator. Freya knew that Ichiro loved Hibiya dearly, so she suppressed her feelings until she could no longer move. At the point where she decided to self-terminate, Elda offered to take Freya’s heart into her own so that she would not disappear completely.

Cute cosplay by Mimi and her best friend (whose name I’ve yet to find out)! I’m really impressed with the details of their costume, and great choice of background too! Thanks again to Mimi for sharing this with us!

Chobits: Chi 09

Chi is rumored to be the legendary “Chobit”, a technologically advanced persocom which possess true machine intelligence with the ability to feel emotions and act on her own will. However, her current owner Motosuwa Hideki found her discarded in the trash and thus decided to take her home with him. Once he had figured out how to turn her own, it was revealed that Chi remembered nothing of her past and is unable to perform even the simplest of tasks. He named her “Chi” as that was the only word she was able to say in the beginning.

Cute cosplayer! Too bad this is the largest resolution Coco had of this photo. Thanks again for sharing this with us!

Chobits: Chi 08

As a Chobit, Chi is highly advanced compared to other persocoms. She has the ability to read data from other persocoms without opening a direct channel with them. When Chi accidentally wore Omura Yumi's Chiroru uniform, she became upset and ran away in tears. The bakery's manager, Hiroyasu Ueda, then asked Chi to call Yumi's phone (which is a small persocom) in order to find out where she went; however, Chi was actually able to locate Yumi without calling her persocom.

Cute cosplay! And I know a certain reader who adores this series as much as I do. Thanks to Yayoi-san for sharing this with us!

Chobits: Chi 07

It seems like a tradition now to have Chi as the one who greets everyone.

Merry Christmas, minna-san!

Chobits: Dita

Acting as a personal bodyguard for Zima, the Japanese Government's National Data Bank, Dita mercilessly hacks into any persocom that is a threat to Zima. We first saw her ability when Yuzuki, Minoru's most powerful persocom, hacked Zima to find out more about the "Chobits". Dita forced Yuzuki out and shut her down almost instantly.

Though she cares deeply for Zima, she does not think persocoms cannot experience such feelings, and denies being in love with him. Zima also comments she temperamental, which she similarly also disregards.

Dita is one of my most favorite characters in Chobits. Kiyoshi does a great job cosplaying her, and I hope I can find more of her cosplays soon.

Chobits: Chi 06

Chi used to be Hibiya Chitose's second "daughter" named Elda. She was created by Mihara Ichiro with the most advanced technology because Chitose was incapable of having children with him. Freya, the first daughter, was suppose to be an only child, but Chitose noticed Freya would get lonely at times and asked her husband to create Elda to relieve her loneliness.

Isn't she beautiful? I wonder why this photo is a little blue? Tomie Sakura still makes a very pretty Chi though. Good job!

Chobits: Chi 05

Time flies by so fast, and now it’s Christmas time again.

Who would have thought I’d be blogging about cosplays for about a year and a half now?

I should let you guys know that I’ll be taking a break from blogging until the first week of January to visit some family and friends during the holidays. I’ll be sure to come back quickly, don’t worry~

But I’m happy people like reading my blog. Thank you…

Merry Christmas, everyone! I hope you like this Chii cosplayer that I’ve decided to feature this special day.

Now go and spend the day with your families, I know I will…

Chobits: Freya

Now here is a cosplay that I never thought I’d see.

Freya is the first version of the new series of persocoms known as the “Chobit” series. Unlike any other persocom, has the ability to feel emotions, specifically, to love. She was made by Mihara Ichiru to become their “daughter”.

When Hibiya Chitose, Ichiru’s wife, noticed a change in Freya’s attitude, Chitose asked Ichiru to create a younger sister for her, and she was named “Elda“. Freya was happy for a while, but her true sadness was due to the fact that she had fallen in love… with her own “father”. She knew she could never be together with him, and this caused her so much sorrow that she ceased functioning.

Aside from the hair? This is a very impressive cosplay. Great job on this! I really like her ears..!

Chobits: Chi 04

My third (or fourth?) Chi cosplayer, and this time, it’s Kipi!

Chi’s real name is actually “Elda” and she is among the Chobit series; a special type of persocom who can “fee” and “fall in love”. Her twin sister, Freya, fell in love with their creator (and father), resulting in her “death” (her heart became so painful that she could no longer move). Elda “took” Freya’s consciousness resulting in her having 2 different persocom personalities existing within her. Even though she had all her memories deleted, both personalities still remained; Freya who remembers everything and Elda who remembers nothing.

Kipi makes a cute Chi… And that cake looks really good. I want some cake too..! Thanks to Welfsh for sharing this on Flickr!

Chobits: Motosuwa Hideki and Chi

Aww… this is just too cute! Too bad we can’t see Chi’s face…

I am wondering why they’re in a girl’s room though. In the anime, Hideki and Chi live in an apartment, and it’s not a girl’s room, but rather, a guy’s room. Chi is, after all, Hideki’s persocom, and so she is the one living with Hideki.

And this picture makes it look like the exact opposite!

I’m not complaining though. It’s a really good picture, and I like it very much! Don’t you think it’s really cute they’re sharing one pajama?

Chobits: Chi 02

One of my readers, who wishes to remain anonymous, contributed this cosplay of Chii. No, I don’t think that the contributor is the cosplayer because one, the contributor is a guy and two, the contributor found this off a website he can’t remember… This was just sitting in his hard drive apparently…

This Chi is probably as cute as the other Chi I featured… I really love her dress! That must have taken a long time to sew.

Great cosplay, great photography! And I really love the additional effects added to the photograph… It really does look like an official Chobits illustration!

EDIT: Big thanks to radioactiveKIRA for informing me about Jumplove! Jumplove and King Crimson cosplay together and they have a huge gallery on their site. I’ll be sure to feature more of them soon!

Chobits: Chi

Chi is probably one of the most cosplayed characters from an anime series, and yet there are very few people who can cosplay her accurately.

I suppose not everyone can pull off a cute and innocent looking face…

This cosplayer though… I like her very much, even though she has a silver wig on. One could probably argue that this is a manga version of Chi, right?

Chi is a persocom, or a personal computer who is an android. In the Chobits world, PCs and Laptops/Notebooks are in the shape of a human robot, and they can virtually follow you everywhere. An interesting note is that the persocoms are solar powered, getting their energy only from the sun.

This Chi is so cute… Makes me want to have Chobit ears too…

Found in Photobucket!

Chobits: Sumomo

Remember what I said about kids cosplaying? It just gives you a warm fuzzy feeling, even if they don’t know how to pose well for the camera…

You can tell she’s having a hard time keeping her pose… Can’t blame her, I hard a hard time balancing on one foot when I was a kid too…

Wait… I’m still a “kid”… at heart? (I know it’s lame, but forgive me, I couldn’t resist because I’ve been hearing lame jokes all day…) ^^

Sumomo’s hair is suppose to pink (same with the character on the tambourine), but I wouldn’t dye kids’ hair would you? And letting them wear a wig is also hard for them, since wigs are quite hot… But nonetheless, I think this is a cute and impressive cosplay, don’t you?
