Sailor Moon R: Prince Demand

Prince Demand is the leader of Planet Nemesis, a fictional 10th planet of the Solar System. The planet itself is said to consist of negative energy and has the ability to vanish from sight, only traceable by X-ray. The people who reside there are known as the Black Moon Clan, descendents of criminals and traitors of Crystal Tokyo. Prince Demand himself resented Crystal Tokyo as he felt that they were corrupt, and that their long lifespans were blasphemous. Through Wiseman’s help and influence, Prince Demand formed a plan to go back in time before the influence of the Moon Kingdom began in order to create a new history, and perhaps a better future for his people.

The Legend of Korra: Korra

It seems everyone is talking about this awesome Korra cosplayer from MegaCon 2015 who uses rhythmic gymnastic to show off her water bending skills!

As usual, if anyone knows the cosplayer, do let me know so I can properly credit them in Cosplay Holic! Thanks to Sharon, Mike, and Andy for sending this in!

Cloud tells him about Sephiroth, of which he knew that Sephiroth was the child Lucrecia had conceived. Vincent later agrees to accompany the party when Cloud confirms that the party will meet Hojo, as he plans on finally claiming his revenge.

Another beautiful cosplay by Chinese cosplayer Butterfly! I’m completely stumped as to how he managed to get this pose! His photographer must be an extremely talented individual too!

Vampire Knight: Kuran Kaname 20

Female fashion model AKIRA was born on the 15th of February in Chiba Prefecture. She is a female model who is often mistaken to be a man even among her Japanese fans as she often cross-dresses or wears boys-styled clothing. AKIRA appears regularly in the alternative fashion magazines KERA and KERA BOKU. She is also the leader of the Visual Kei rock band DISACODE as their singer and song-writer.

AKIRA played Kuran Kaname in the musical adaptation of Vampire Knight.

Oh wow, I suspected that AKIRA was a girl, but I didn’t know that she uses her androgynous appearance for work too! Wait, does that even make sense? I just didn’t know that there is a cross-dressing culture in Japan outside of cosplay!

I guess this is also one of the reasons why cosplay is so popular in Japan? Thanks again to Erica for sending this in!

Marvel: Loki 02

After the battle against the Frost Giants, Odin found a small, Asgardian-sized child hidden with the primary stronghold. This child was Loki, the son of the fallen King Laufrey, who hid him due to his shame over his son’s small size. Odin took the boy in out of pity, and also in order to appease his father, Bor, who had cursed Odin for leaving him to die. Odin raised Loki alongside his biological son, Thor, although they were treated differently by the citizens of Asgards because of their differences.

Honestly, when I saw the full body photo, I thought it was one of those hot toys posed outside or something. But when I realized it was an actual cosplayer, I was floored! The details are amazing and his expression is spot on! I’m sure many of you would love to support him, so here’s his Facebook and Twitter! Thanks to Merida for sending this in!

Another amazing cosplay by Heyleydia! Touken Ranbu is really popular, isn’t it? I think it’s about time I hunt for cosplays of the other characters on my own.

Kuroshitsuji: Undertaker 03

During the Green Witch Arc, Undertaker visited Baron Diedrich, telling him that he had something to do in France and decided to pay him a visit. He notes that they have not met since Vincent Phantomhive’s funeral, and wonders out loud if that is the reason why Diedrich does not visit England often or if he’s too weighty. Undertaker laughs and offers to make a custom-made coffin for Diedrich, as he would not fit in regular ones, but Diedrich refuses.

Meet Japanese cosplayer Tsuitachi Yoru –Sakuya- (朔夜-Sakuya-)! I’m not sure if she has any other websites at the moment, but her Twitter is full of amazing photos, so please follow her! Thanks to Misaki for sending this in!

Atlantis: The Lost Empire: Milo James Thatch and Kidagakash "Kida" Nedakh

Milo James Thatch, a cartographer and linguist at the Smithsonian Institution, is recruited by Preston B. Whitmore to decipher “The Shepherd’s Journal” while directing an expedition to Atlantis. He and a team of specialists led by Commander Rourke, set out on Ulysses, a massive submarine, but are soon attacked by a robotic, lobster-like creature, the Leviathan, that guards Atlantis’ entrance. Milo and the crew somehow manage to escape, and after traveling through a network of caves and even a dormant volcano, they reach Atlantis where they are greeted by Kida, the Princess of Atlantis.

Aren’t they just about the cutest thing you’ve ever seen? We know that Milo is cosplayed by Knight Rain, but I’m not entirely sure who cosplays Kida. If anyone has any idea, please let me know? For now, please do support Knight Rain through his Facebook! Thanks to Sarah for sending this in!

Sailor Stars Cast

あなたが消えたそのときから
After the time when you disappeared from me
さがしつづける旅がはじまった
I began my journey searching for you
黄ばんだ地図には
The start is on the map, 
ステンシルの天使の絵
the stenciled picture of an angel
指さす先はダークなコロセウムがまってる
The destination it points to, a waiting dark coliseum
ふるえるムネには　あの日のヒミツのキス
In my trembling heart, the secret kiss of that day
どんなにつらい運命(サダメ)でも
However hard destiny may be
追いつづけるから
I will keep following it

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin 28

街明かり 華やか
City lights bright and colorful
エーテル麻酔 の 冷たさ
The chill of ether anesthetics
眠れない 午前二時
Sleepless at 2:00 AM
全てが 急速に変わる
Everything rapidly changes

オイル切れのライター
A lighter out of oil
焼けつくような胃の中
The inside of a scorching stomach
全てがそう嘘なら
If everything was yes, a lie
本当に よかったのにね
How it would have been really nice

Original: Wood Splitter Lee and “Willow”

This is not your usual cosplay feature, but this video might inspire many cosplayers out there! It’s a fantastic idea of bring creatures to life instead of the usual stuff toys we bring around! But please take a closer look, as this hand-made puppet’s eyes blink, giving it a variety of expressions!

Please support the artist, Wood Splitter Lee through her Deviant Art, Facebook, and Youtube! Thanks to Misha for sending this in!

Vampire Knight: Yuki Cross 11

Wakatsuki Yumi is a member of Nogizaka46’s 1st Generation. She was born on the 27th of June 1994 in Fuji, Shizuoka, Japan. She was chosen as an ambassador for a Shizuoka Prefecture guidebook program. Yumi later became the lead actress in the Vampire Knight Musical Adaptation staring as Yuki Cross.

Did anyone here get to see this musical? Was it any good? I haven’t seen any news about it since it premiered last January!

Anyway, I apologize if I don’t have any more information on Yumi, but if you’d like, you can visit her official blog to know more about her! Thanks to Erica for sending this in!
