Rurouni Kenshin: Shishio Makoto

Can we all just please take a moment to appreciate Shishio’s reaction in this picture? Yes?

Alright, from what I understand in the description, this is not Fujiwara Tatsuya, who plays the role of Shishio in the film, but Takito Kenichi? I did find his profile in (Japanese) wiki, and he does play a role in Rurouni Kenshin, but I’m not exactly sure since my Japanese is not very good. And what’s with the photo in his kimono?

Anyhow, if anyone can clarify, that would be great! Thanks to Rae for sending this in!

Inuyasha: Rin and Sesshoumaru 03

“Diamond!”

あまつ空の彼方イタズラな浮雲
Across the endless sky the clouds float playfully
帰る夢をなくし永遠をさすらふ
Wandering eternally to get rid of a recurring dream

雨が止むまで束の間
Until the moment the rain ends
安らぎの限り
I can sleep peacefully

何度でもそう何度でも
So many times, yes, no matter how often

“Gou”
Lyrics and Translation by

Aren’t they cute? I really love Momoren’s cosplay of Sesshoumaru, and Chara looks really cute as Rin too! Don’t you just love how they posed for this photo?

You can view the entire album on Momoren’s Facebook Page, so please support her! Thanks to Aly for sharing this!

Zootopia: Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde 02

Although she was assigning to parking duty by Chief Bogo, Judy abandoned her shift in order to arrest Duke Weaselton, a thief who stole what appeared to be onion bulbs. Because of this, Judy was once again reprimanded by Bogo.

Mrs. Otterton then arrived in Bogo’s office, pleading for someone to find her missing husband and Judy immediately volunteered! Bogo reluctantly agreed, giving Judy 48 hours on the condition that she resigns if she fails this assignment.

Hitori left me a comment saying that Stay cosplayed Nick Wilde. I actually found this photo some time ago, but well, Internet problems and all that, you know?

As always, please support stayxxxx and Mon夢 through their respective Facebook pages! Thanks again to Hitori for sending this in!

Spirited Away: No-Face and Ogino Chihiro (Sen)

Forced to work in the tyranical Yubaba’s bathhouse, Ogino Chihiro invited a silent, masked creature named No-Face inside the bathhouse, thinking he was a customer. Later that evening, while most of the staff were asleep, No-Face tempted a worker with gold. The greedy staff took the bait, only to be devoured by No-Face! He continued swallowing the other naive workers and began growing larger, causing massive damage to the bathhouse.

This photo reminded me of the time I featured a dog cosplaying Sesshoumaru! I guess cat owners are getting into it now too? I find the Chihiro cat to be particularly adorable with that kimono! Thanks to Casey for sending this in!

Fate/Grand Order: Ruler 02

Ruler is a taciturn and cool while acting as a Servant, but is naturally a plain and quiet 16-year-old. She puts order first, but she is willing to wield a sword for the sake of the rules.

In Fate/Apocrypha, due to the irregularity of the Great Holy Grail War, and the continued existence of the previous Ruler from the Third Holy Grail War, Ruler was not given a spiritual body, and instead possessed a human girl named Laeticia. Because of her faith, Laeticia accepts Ruler completely, and thus, they do not share two personalities in one body, but rather, their personalities have merged into one.

Isn’t Rith absolutely beautiful? It looks like Ruler has a “Lily” version like Saber too! I actually like her original look better, but this is also very beautiful!

Final Fantasy XV: Prompto Argentum and Noctic Lucis Caelum

The puckish playboy Prompto befriended Noctis in his school days. He wears a chip on his shoulder as an outsider to the royal circle, but remains eager to do all he can for the cause. A friend who has been a bad influence to Noctis since his school days. While he can get carried away easily, there's another side of him which is driven to help friends in need. 

Source: Final Fantasy Wiki

I know they are probably models for the Roen clothing line, but wow, Prompto looks amazing! I think many of the fans are disappointed with Noctis’ hair being blue, but he looks fantastic as well! Hopefully, we’ll get better shots of these “cosplayers” soon? Thanks to Chia for sending this in!

Yu Yu Hakusho: Team Toguro

Team Toguro consists of the “human turned demon” Toguro siblings and two demons, Karasu and Bui. Karasu and Bui both lost to the Toguro brothers in battle and subsequently joined their team for the Dark Tournament. Toguro-otouto (Younger Toguro) is rated as a B-class, absolute strength demon, while is brother, Toguro-ani (Elder Toguro) is a demon shape shifter. As for Karasu, he is a “Governor-rank” demon who can create bombs using his aura undetectable by lower level demons. Last but not least, Bui is a demon warrior who has a battle aura so immense that we wears heavy armor to suppress it.

Nothing beats a classic, and this team of cosplayers definitely did a great job portraying the antagonists of this series! If anyone happens to know who the cosplayers are, please let me know so I can credit them! Thanks to Rey for sending this in!

World Canvas: Sera Asprec

Sera Asrec is an art student with heterochromia iridum, or different colored eyes. As a matter of fact, her left eyes gives her the ability to look into a person’s past and retrieve their darkest secrets by observing their artworks or their handwriting. This ability is very helpful for her brother’s work at the museum as Sera can give him unique information about deceased famous artists. However, this ability also made Sera distant from the people around her.

One day, she met child prodigy, Rhiannon Estrella, and realized that she could not read any information from her at all! It was the first time Sera’s ability failed to work, which made Sera even more curious to know who Rhiannon really was! What sort of secret could a young girl be guarding so securely?

Many of you might not be familiar with this character as World Canvas is a local manga published in the Philippines. Mayu Ma Cherie cosplayed Sera so well that I couldn’t resist featuring her!

If you’d like to see more of Mayu’s cosplays, please visit her on Facebook and support her! On the other hand, if you want to know more about the series, please visit the mangaka’s Facebook, Color-LES aka Godley Malabanan! Thanks again to Mayu for letting me feature this!

Dead or Alive: Ayane 05

Although she appears to be cruel, Ayane is not completely heartless. She has working relationships with a few people and even emotional attachments to Hayate and Genra. However, she might be a little too attached to them to the point that she regards them to be her only reason for living. When Genra passed away and Hayate became angry with her, she tried to commit suicide, evidence of Ayane’s emotional instability.

Do you guys recognize this cosplayer? I’ve featured her before cosplaying the same character in a differnt outfit. Her name is Rainer Tachibana and she now has a Facebook page, so please continue to support her as always! Thanks to Janice for sending this in!

Ano Hana: “Menma” Honma Meiko 02

When Menma first appeared in front of Yadomi Jinta, she has aged somewhat, but she still retains her childlike speech patterns and tendencies. She is also clothed in the same white dress that wore on the day she died. Although Jinta is the only one who can see or hear her, Menma appears to have the ability to interact with the world around her. In one episode, she even cooked ramen for Jinta to eat!

Just in case there are readers who aren’t familiar with Ano Hana, the full title of this anime is “Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai” (The Flower We Saw That Day), but it is more commonly referred to as Ano Hana since the title is so long.
 
Anyway, doesn’t SeeU look adorable as Mena? If you love SeeU’s cosplays, please don’t forget to visit her Weibo account to support her! Thanks again to Ruby for sending this in!

Guilty Crown: Yuzuriha Inori 07

誰かが君のことを嘘つきと呼んで
Even if someone were to call you a liar
心無い言葉で傷つけようとしても
And try to hurt you with heartless words
世界が君のことを信じようともせずに
Or if the whole world doesn't even try to believe in you
茨の冠を被せようとしても
And try to put a crown of thorns on your head
私は君だけの味方になれるよ
I can still become a friend only to you
その孤独 痛みを私は知っている
I know of that loneliness  and that pain

so, everything that makes me whole

今君に捧げよう
I will dedicate them all to you now

I’m Yours

Zootopia: Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde

Judy Hopps, a bunny from rural Bunnyburrow, fulfilled her childhood dream in becoming the first rabbit officer of Zootopia. However, even though she graduated at the top of her class, Chief Bogo still doubts her potential and assigned her to parking duty. She later meets Nick Wilde and Finnick, partners in crime, during one of her shifts.

Well, aren’t these two the cutest couple you’ve ever seen? Please support Chinese cosplayers SeeU and Xiao Xiao Bai as Judy and Nick respectively by visiting their Facebook pages! Thanks to Kristine for sending this in!

Card Captor Sakura: Yue 04

In contrast to his kind and gentle alter-ego, Yue is a serious and aloof individual who is extremely loyal to Clow Reed. Similarly, although Yukito is fond of Sakura, Yue is reluctant to accept her. As the series progresses, however, Yue begins to respond to Sakura’s request that, rather than being his master, she wanted to be his friend.

This series of photos of Loki Heart cross-playing shocked me; in a very good way! I’ve always admired her cosplays as female characters, but I never thought she would cosplay one of my favorite male characters! (Although technically, CLAMP did state that Yue is neither human nor male!)

Please support her in her new Facebook Page: Loki Heart! Thanks again for letting me feature this!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Hungary 03

Hungary was a nomadic girl who loved to chase horses on the plains. She was a tomboyish girl who believed herself to be a boy until she hit puberty. She is described to be a reliable older sister, and the manliest character in the series.

In 2008, Himaruya gave human names to some of the characters in Hetalia: Axis Powers. Hungary received the name Elizabeta Héderváry.

I still haven’t been able to read or watch this series yet, but does anyone remember this cosplayer? She is Teru Terumii, who was featured on Cosplay Holic before as Alice Baskerville and Hatsune Miku!

I hope you will continue to support her through her Blog and Facebook! Thanks to Ivan for sending this in!

Kuroshitsuji: Book of Circus: Doll 02

When she is performing as a first-string member of the Noah’s Arc Circus, Doll appears to be solemn and taciturn, just like her name suggests. As Freckles, however, she has a warm, welcoming personality that is somewhat innocent. Upon first meeting Ciel Phantomhive, Doll felt it was necessary to look after and protect him. She woke him up when he overslept, shared her food with him, and taught him to become a better performer. She readily believed Ciel’s lies, something the other members reprimanded her for multiple times.

Isn’t she adorable? Rin is an Italian-Vietnamese cosplayer, and she already has a lot of cosplays in her Facebook page! Please do support her! And also, please support her photographer, Marcello Masiero! Thanks again to Marcello for sending this in!

Sailor Moon - Steam Punk Version

嗚呼 女の子にも譲れぬ矜持がある
Ah, even girls have a kind of pride they cannot give up
それは 王子様に運命投げず
It’s to not give up their fates to their princes,
自らたたかう意志
But to fight with their own volition

Shiny Make-up 輝くよ 星空を集めて
Shiny Make-up, shine! Gather in the starry sky
ただ護られるだけの か弱い存在じゃないわ
I’m not a being so frail that I must only be protected
