Final Fantasy X-2: Rikku and Yuna

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - chibi rikku and yunaOr should I say, “chibi” Rikku?

I’m not sure about Rikku having a songstress outfit; I’ve never played the game before. But they’re very cute though. I wonder if they’re sisters?

I think Yuna’s hair needs to be a little bit more flipped. I really like her boots though. Great job on this, and thanks for sharing!

Dir en Grey: Toshiya

unknown cosplay 009 - nana (?)- dir en grey cosplay - toshiyaI have a few guesses for this Unknown, but the best guess I can come up with is Nana.

But then again, she could be someone from a game. I mean, with those shoulder armors? She may be a warrior of some sort that I don’t know about.

So I’ll leave the decision up to you good people. Any takers?

Thanks to Rainer and Hesper for saying this is Toshiya from the Jrock band "Dir En Grey". Thanks also to Mun-yeen and daachan for confirming this!

Fruits Basket: Souma Hatsuharu

fruits basket cosplay - souma hatsuharu

The cursed Ox of the Souma Family, Hatsuharu has a split personality similar to that of Yin and Yang. The Souma family refers to his calmer side as “White” and his violent side as “Black”, which is similar to the Zodiac’s personal attributes.

He wear a lot of accessories, to which the Mangaka, Takaya Natsuki claims he makes himself.

Isn’t Haru cute? The hair’s just right with the black under the white. I hope Fruits Basket gets a 2nd Season!

Death Note: Ryuzaki L. Lawliet

death note cosplay - ryuzaki l. lawlietL. Lawliet is an extremely meticulous and analytical detective who tends to pursue cases out of his own interest than justice. He has several aliases including Ryuga Hideki, Ryuzaki, Eraldo Coil (the second best detective in the word), and Deneuve (the third best detective in the world). His doesn’t seem to care about his appearance, but he has a tendency to handle any object delicately.

Pretty convincing cosplay of this mysterious detective. I like his eyes, even though he looks pretty creepy in this picture. And I think I need to find more Death Note cosplays. 8)

Bleach: Hinamori Momo 02

bleach cosplay - hinamori momo 02

The young and naive lieutenant of the 5th division, Hinamori Momo trusts Aizen Sosuke completely, even after his betrayal to Soul Society. No one knows exactly why Hinamori feels that way; whether she’s truly believes in him or if she was brainwashed by Aizen is left a mystery.

I think this makes a nice rival for Mei Wai’s version of Hinamori. But I like them both, anyhow. Thanks to 二叔#zukka of Flickr for sharing the photo!

He Is My Master: Nakabayashi Yoshitaka, Sawatari Izumi, Sawatari Mitsuki, and Kurauchi Anna

he is my master cosplay - nakabayashi yoshitaka, sawatari izumi, sawatari mitsuki, and kurauchi annaA 14-year-old student suddenly inherits his parents’ fortune due to an accident, Nakabayashi Yoshitaka decides to hire new maids out of necessity since he is only a minor. What he didn’t expect was that 2 runaways, Sawatari Izumi and Sawatari Mitsuki would take the job. Later, a third girl who is interested in Izumi, Kurauchi Anna, decides to become a maid for her own advantages.

You know there’s going to be trouble with this setup, no matter how you look at it.

Admittedly, Izumi is suppose to be short haired, and yet all thee girls have long hair here. The maid uniforms are undeniably from the series though, and so, I’ll just say they are the 3 main characters from the series, unless someone can tell me otherwise. 8)

Unknown Entry 008

unkknown cosplay 008San Diego held a Comic Con back in August 2008. A lot of people were cosplaying several characters ranging from games, anime, movies, and comic book characters.

I found this picture from a friend, and it’s originally found on this blog. The details on her costume are amazing, and I wonder, is she cosplaying someone, or is this original?

Thanks for sharing the photo!

Vampire Knight: Kuran Kaname

vampire knight cosplay - kuran kanameThe noble, pure blooded vampire whom everyone fears and respects, Kuran Kaname is the President of the Night Class which consists of vampires from different family lines. He is shown to be cold towards his fellow vampires, and yet kind and gentle to the girl he saved one snowy evening… Yuki Cross.

Revealing the reason behind that would spoil the series for everyone, so let’s leave it at that.

One of my blog readers named Elisabeth sent me an email one day and told me about Stay, a Chinese cosplayer with amazing costumes featured in her blog. This is one of my favorites from her collection so far, and I hope she uploads more pictures soon! Pay a visit to Stay’s blog, I’m sure it’s worth the while. Thanks Elisabeth!

Howl’s Moving Castle: Howl

Howl, who is known by many names such as Howell Jenkins, Wizard Howl, Wizard Pendragon, Sorcerer Jenkin; is a human born in Wales of our World with magical abilities. He travels to an alternate world, specifically the country of Ingary and there becomes Mrs. Pestemmon’s last pupil. He gave up his heart to a fire demon he had caught to keep it alive in exchange for running Howl’s castle.

He also wishes to have a reputation as a wicked wizard, which seems to be difficult considering how he looks.

Hayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli created an animated adaptation of Diana Wynne Jones’ novel “Howl’s Moving Castle”. This was originally found on Flickr. Thanks to The Endless Waltz for sharing the photo!

Loveless: Agatsuma Soubi 04

loveless cosplay - agatsuma soubi 04A fighter’s role is to follow everything his sacrifice orders him to. With Soubi’s case, who is a blank fighter that can serve any sacrifice, he appears to be following Ritsuka’s every command, and yet he refuses to speak about Seimei’s death.

Why would he do something like that?

Because to him, Seimei’s words are absolute.

I love how this picture was composed. A lot of fans know that Soubi, despite being associated with butterflies, adores flowers. How does this compare to the three other Soubi cosplayers I’ve featured in this blog? I think I like all of them honestly. Awesome job on this one!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: C.C.

lelouch of the rebellion cosplay - c.c.The immortal with the power of Geass, C.C. is a willful girl who does anything she wants regardless of what other people might think. She does, however, have one weakness: pizza, specifically from Pizza Hut. She also carries a round a stuffed toy of Pizza Hut’s mascot, “Cheese-kun”. She becomes Lelouch’s accomplice to his rebellion after he made a Geass contract with her.

I should catch up with this series, which is already on Season 2. Writing this is actually making me craze for pizza right about now; I think that’s what I’ll have for lunch. Thank you to Kelly for sending me the photo that she found on Flickr! Thank you, too, for sharing!

Original: "Human with Feathers"

unknown cosplay 007 I’ve been wondering about this cosplay for quite some time, and yet I still have no idea who she is or where she’s from.

I had initially thought she could be an angel from Angel Sanctuary, or maybe from a series known as D.N.Angel. But I can’t find any anime images of angels that look like her.

Anyone have any ideas?

EDIT: Thanks to Hydell for letting me know this is an original cosplay by Kaya.

Kaya took the elements she loved and put them together for this private photo shoot. From what I can understand, this is not really an angel to her, but more like a simple person born with wings. Very beautifully done, wouldn't you agree? Thanks also to Ayaki for the wonderful photography!
