The Emperor’s New Groove: Kuzco

The 18-year-old emperor of the Incas, Kuzco was initially spoiled, selfish, cocky, and sarcastic with a sense of flair and pizzaz. He was turned into a llama by Yzma, following her termination as his adviser. He was presumed dead and found himself lost in the jungle until his friendship with Pacha helps him to regain his humility and his throne.

That is just too perfect that I am left speechless! First found on Tanku’s Tumblr!

Vocaloid 2: Megurine Luka and Hiyama Kiyoteru

Just be friends All we gotta do
Just be friends It's time to say goodbye
Just be friends All we gotta do
Just be friends Just be friends...

For a long time now, I've been meaning to feature this cosplay, but I didn’t know who the other person with Luka was and didn’t want to post this in the Unknown section. Then, a friend of mine suggested, “Why don’t you just call him ‘tomodachi’? The song that cosplay is from is entitled ‘Just be Friends’!”

Best suggestion ever! Unless someone already gave the guy an unofficial name we don’t know about? Thanks to Lyrica for sending this and to Susan for suggesting the name!

EDIT: My bad! It appears he really does have a name. Thanks to Chồn Bão for commenting he is Hiyama Kiyoteru!

Rival Schools: United by Fate: Tiffany Lords

A wealthy student from Pacific High, Tiffany Lords joined Roy Bromwell in his investigation of the school kidnappings because she had a crush on him. Like her classmates, she was captured and brainwashed by Justice High, but is eventually freed by the students from Taiyo High. At the end of her story in Rival Schools: United by Fate, she returned to the United States with Roy and set out to train as a bodyguard after Roy began his studies in Politics.

Awesome Tiffany by Brazilian cosplayer Fabiane! I think this is my most favorite cosplay of hers in her gallery, because she looks so much like Tiffany! Thanks to Emily for suggesting this!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Lelouch Lamperouge 08

Lelouch Lamperouge may be outstanding when it comes to intellect, but he proved to be physically underwhelming throughout the series. He is constantly outpaced by his classmates in every situation, and even the simplest of tasks requiring manual labor exhaust him before he manages to complete anything significant. He does, however, display above average hand-eye coordination, both with firearms and the keyboard-based control system of the Shinkiro.

The cosplayer’s eyes are really captivating in this photo. Even his/her pose is very much in character, but I wish we could see the cosplayer’s face. Thanks again to Müberra for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for sharing Rainer Tachibana's Deviant Art!

K-On!: Hirasawa Yui 05

Yui has a habit of naming and talking to inanimate objects as if they were people; a trend that gradually included her bandmates and their instruments. She has named her guitar as “Gita”, Mio’s Bass as “Elizabeth” without Mio’s permission which annoyed her at first. Later, Nakano Azusa caught on and considered naming her own guitar “Muttan”.

Cute Yui by Singaporean cosplayer, Yivon! Yukino, the contributor, estimates Yivon to be around 13 years-old. Should I add this to the Chibi Section, I wonder? Thanks again to Yukino for sending this!

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Panty Anarchy 03

Panty’s usual outfit consists of a short, sleeveless, red dress with matching red shoes. Her angel outfit, however, seems to be inspired from ancient Greek clothing, especially her golden-winged, Hermes-like high heels. Although Panty has worn several outfits in the series, most of them allow her to slide her panties off with ease.

It suddenly makes me wonder if I can share this cosplay on Cosplay Holic without breaking any of Blogger’s rules. In any case, thanks again to Ange W. for sharing this!

Death Note: Amane Misa 06

A famous and hyperactive singer, model, and actress, Amane Misa usually refers to herself in the third person by calling herself “Misa-Misa” to be cute. Despite her hyperactivity, she rarely allows her personal feelings about anyone interfere with Light’s plans, proving her undying devotion and loyalty to him. Like Light, she is corrupted by the power of possessing a Death Note, but she does not wish to become a god and doesn’t lose her original personality.

Pretty cute cosplay! The black nails really suit Misa’s character, but I’m not sure if we ever saw that in the original anime or manga. In any case, thanks again to Müberra for sending this in!

Lupin III: Jigen Daisuke

Lupin's marksman and close ally, Jigen Daisuke can perform a 0.3-second quick-draw and shoots with amazing accuracy. He is also proficient in the use of different firearms, including machine guns, sniper rifles, and a PTRS anti-tank rifle. His weapon of choice is a Smith & Wesson Model 19 Combat revolver, based on the pistol's stopping power and its dependability against misfire.

That is pretty awesome! And from such a classic anime too. I love the extra detail of the handcuffs on his wrist; it’s as if he just got away! Thanks to Peachy for sharing this!

Kanokon: Minamoto Chizuru

Now this is interesting.

Not only is the uniform cute, but there is an additional cuteness of… cat ears or fox ears?

I’m tempted to say fox ears, because that symbol she’s making with her hand is a fox, right? And it looks like she has a tail too!

Anyone have any idea what series she’s from and what the name of the character is? Thanks again to Ophelia for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to Roy for letting me know this is Minamoto Chizuru from Kanokon!

Samurai Champloo: Mugen, Fuu, and Jin

When Fuu was still working as a waitress in a tea shop, she was harassed by a band of samurai and Mugen decides to step in to rid of the menace in exchange for food. He instead instigates a brawl, and Jin enters the tea shop amidst the fight. Mugen and Jin get so caught up in fighting each other that they didn’t notice a fire had broken out, fainting from smoke inhalation.

Unfortunately, they awake to find they are charged with the murder of the magistrate’s son who died in the fire, and are sentenced to be hanged. Fuu helps them escape and asks them to travel with her in search of her father, “the samurai who smells sunflowers”.

That’s quite an interesting plot to go with such a cool cosplay group! Perhaps this is one series I need to get my hands on. Thanks again to Müberra for sending this in!

Final Fantasy IV: Rydia

Born to one of the few remaining pure-blood Summoner families in Mist, Rydia is the daughter of the protector of a remote village with the Eidolon Mist Dragon. One day, the Dark Knight Cecil Harvey along with his best friend, Kain Highwind, were ordered by the King of Baron to deliver a ring to Mist Village and killed the dragon barring their way. What they didn’t know was that once an Eidolon dies, its respective summoner dies as well, inadvertently killing Rydia’s mother in the process. Once they realized what they had done, they offered to take Rydia to safety, but she refused their help, overhearing that they were indeed the dragon slayers.

Beautiful cosplay by Ukrainian cosplayer Anita Lust! I really love how she interpreted the original character design with all the gold details! Thanks to Anita for sending this and please visit her blog for more of her cosplay photos!

Basilisk: Hotarubi

Hotarubi embodies the concept of traditional Japanese beauty, with her dark, straight hair and petite, slender form. Although she shares her clan’s hatred for the Kouga, her primary concern is for her fiancé, Yashamaru, another member of the Iga ten. Her devotion to him is so great that the mere suggestion that he’s come to harm is enough for her to react, ranging from an evil glare to feral rage.

Beautiful cosplay! She really is a very pretty Japanese girl. At least, I think she is Japanese? Thanks to Müberra for sending this in!
