I's: Yoshizuki Iori 04

Born on the 21st of March 1981, Yoshizuki Iori is a beautiful girl who is easy to like and get along with. She is prim, proper, and friendly who has a positive outlook on life. However, after a certain magazine published her swimsuit spread, Iori suddenly finds herself to be the center of unwanted attention. This makes it difficult for her to differentiate whether a person likes her for herself, or her beauty.

Another amazing cosplay by Kipi! In case you guys haven’t noticed yet, I’m a big fan of hers, and I’m sure many of you readers are too! I don’t know if she has official World Cosplay or Facebook accounts, but she does have a blog over at Lomo: http://still.kipi.lomo.jp/ Please continnue to support her! Thanks to X k for sharing this!

D. Gray-man: Allen Walker 08

Kind, generous, and very polite, Allen Walker has a tendency to sacrifice himself for the sake of others. More often than not, he is willing to let his body and emotions take devastating blows if it will help or save someone else. However, this trait has angered several of his comrades and friends, especially Kanda Yu and Lenalee Lee.

I haven’t seen a lot of Kipi cosplaying male characters before, so this one came as a pleasant surprise! I think most of her fans would prefer her cosplaying female characters, but I think this is a good side of her too! Thanks to Darren for sending this in!

Unknown Cosplay #157

Well, I honestly think this is Kipi cosplaying her version of Alice from Alice in Wonderland, but I thought it would be best to ask my readers too. I know there are many adaptations of Alice in anime and games like “Alice in the Kingdom of Hearts”, but I’m pretty sure Kipi is not cosplaying the protagonist from that series.

So for now, I’ll leave this in the Unknown Section until we get some confirmation, ok? Thanks to Josh for sending this in!

Death Note: Amane Misa 09

気をつけて神様は見てる。
Be careful, God is watching.
暗い夜道は手をつないでください！
In a street blacked by night, please link our hands together.
一人で遠くでもいつも見つけ出してくれる。
Even if I'm by myself and far away, He can always come find me.
知ってることは全部教えてくれる。
He comes to teach me everything He knows. 
私がおぼえたなくても、
Even if I should no longer remember,
何度でも教えてくれる。
He will teach me over and over.

でも　全部わかってしまったらどうすればいいの?
But what should I do once I know everything?

Trinity Blood: Esther Blanchett 02

Source: Kipi on World Cosplay

Sister Esther Blanchett met Father Abel Nightroad when he visited Saint Matthias Church investigating Count Gyula Kadar’s tyranny over Istavan. Esther was revealed to be part of a band of rebels known as the Partisans who were against Gyula and were working to oust him at any cost. Count Gyula then sent a vampire to attack the clergy of the church, and his City Military Police took the initiative to bomb Saint Matthias Church, killing Bishop Laura Vitez in the process.

Cute cosplay by Kipi! I didn’t know Esther had clothing like this until I went through Kipi’s World Cosplay account trying to find out what character she’s cosplaying. It’s definitely a nice change from her usual habit! Thanks again to Stilzkin for sending this in!

Tokyo NicoNico Cospllection

On the 4th of December 2011, Nico Nico, in cooperation with Japan’s largest cosplay community website “Cure”, came together to introduce the world to Japanese Cosplay Culture.

Niconico’s special stage replicated each cosplayer’s world in detail using 360 degree LED screens accompanied by powerful sound systems! Top cosplayers from popular anime series including Tiger and Bunny, Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica, Final Fantasy, Touhou Project, and even Vocaloid made their appearances on stage!

If you missed the event like I did, you can download the show through torrent. If you’re a cosplay fan, this is a rare chance for you to see your favorite cosplayers moving and without photoshop! Even Kipi made a special appearance dressed as Hatsune Miku!

Thanks to Marcello for letting me know about this! For now, I will leave you with a video of Danceroid members Ikura, Aikawa Kozue, Yuzuki, and Maam performing Maji Love 1000% from Uta no Prince-sama!

Because Kipi has a lot of fans, this also means that there will be a lot of people who think she's “just another photoshop princess”. Even though I already posted a video of her before, here is another one made by amateur cameraman, Elpheal.

Yes, this really is her! Taken at the Singapore Toys Games & Comics convention 2011 !!!
She's really tiny, skinny , beautiful and FRIENDLY! Down to earth and all

Merry Christmas to one and all! We hope that all your dreams come true~!

She joined the last stand of the remaining forces of Earth to fight against beings called “The Seven Apostles”.

Aria: Alice Caroll

And now for something I’m sure someone will be able to figure because I’ve given up looking for the answer.

I thought Kipi was cosplaying a character from Mai Otome or something, but it appears I’m wrong. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this character before though; maybe I even featured her already, but I’m really not sure.

Please help me out? Thanks to Pita for sending this in!

D. Gray-man: Lenalee Lee 04

Lenalee’s anti-akuma weapon, the Dark Boots, take the form of black, thigh-high boots that give her the ability to run at high speeds, walk on water, and use sound waves as footholds. They are made up of Lenalee’s blood and will repair themselves as long as her has blood inside her body. When the Boots are in their dormant state, however, they form blood-red anklets, one on each of her ankles.

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Soryu Asuka Langley 05

First introduced in episode 8 with the arrival of the Eva Unit 02, Soryu Asuka Langley is shown maintaining a high synchronization ratio and exceptional skills as an Eva pilot. With the battle against the Angel Gaghiel, Asuka proved to be very aggressive and confident in battle. However, when she was first defeated in the fight against Zeruel, Asuka’s self-confidence begins to dwindle, affecting her effectiveness as a pilot.

Kipi makes such a cute Asuka that I had to feature her again. But I’m not sure if this breaks any of blogger’s rules in blogging, so please let me know otherwise so I can delete this just in case!

Vampire Knight: Yuki Cross 06

Born on the 29th of March, Yuki Cross is the adoptive daughter of the Headmaster of Cross Academy, Kaien Cross. She is described to be kind, caring, and cheerful, despite being naive and careless. Yuki is a poor student as she is the academy’s Guardian at night and a full time student during the day, giving her very little time for studying and sleeping.

LovePlus: Takane Manaka 02

Manaka is a very sheltered daughter of Doctor Takane, a physician known to possess advanced levels in both judo and kendo. She’s had a proper upbringing and excels both in her studies and tennis. Although she is a vision of perfection to most people, she lacks experience in what is considered to be common skills such as ordering and eating a hamburger combo, going out with friends, and watching TV.

Beautiful Manaka by Kipi! She looks absolutely stunning as the “unattainable goal” and I’d bet some of her fans consider her to be very similar to Manaka too! Thanks to Yuri for suggesting this!
