D. Gray-Man: Kanda Yu 04

Kanda Yu is a Second Exorcist, created in the Synthetic Disciple Project Central forced onto the Chan and Epstein families nine years past. Because of this, he can see lotus flowers blooming wherever he goes. In the anime adaptation, these flowers act as an hourglass indicating his lifespan. The flowers begin to lose its petals as he approaches his death.

Cosplay Holic reader Materialistique sent this over and needless to say, I was shocked. It may be just a profile picture, but you can really tell that it's Kanda from D. Gray-Man! Thanks Materialistique!

Now the only problem is, the cosplayer's name is also Miyoc, but she is the President of CNcos - Chinese New COS group from Shanghai and not the Miyoc I have tagged in Cosplay Holic. Since making a new tag in all caps is not going to work in Blogger, does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks guys!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 09

Hatsune Miku will probably be the first character in Cosplay Holic to reach 10 different cosplayers. But, I guess you never know..!

Here is another Hatsune Miku from MoeHaku 2010 and she's probably posing by the same car as the other Miku. Among the many different costumes she's been in though, this is still my favorite. You simply can't beat the original design. Unless it's a gothic Miku simply because I have a soft spot for gothic lolita styles.

Third Miku from Riffonliner! Thanks again for your contribution!

Touhou Project: Hakurei Reimu 03

I didn't realize how popular Touhou Project truly was until recently... Particularly Reimu since there are two cosplayers so far who chose this character in Winter Comiket 2009! Not that anyone is complaining, of course, since she's such a cute character! And she's in all of the Touhou games with the exception of Touhou 9.5.

Thanks again to 4chanatic for sending this in!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!: Miura Haru

An eccentric girl who has a tendency to jump to wild conclusions, Haru used to have a crush on Reborn, but changed her mind when she was saved from drowning by Tsuna. Despite her wild habits, she attends Midori Middle School, one of the most elite schools in the area. She also loves children and tends to be overprotective of them.

Cute cosplayer! She seems like a fun character altogether and I love how she did her hair! Thanks to Chloe for sending this in!

Monster Hunter: Blue Guild Guard Armor

Ah, Comiket. Such a treasure trove of beautiful cosplays... I only wish I could identify all of you!

Here is a cute cosplayer from Winter Comiket 2009. From the looks of it, she could be a fighter from a game, and we all know how un-knowledgeable I am when it comes to games. I wonder if that stuff toy is significant to her identity? Or she could have just bought it at the event I guess.

Anyone have any guesses? Thanks to Tipsy for the photo!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know this is one of the armor sets from Monster Hunter!

Junjou Romantica: Kamijou Hiroki

A long time friend of Usami Akihiko's, Hiroki is an associate professor at the college Takahashi Misaki studies in. He may seem very intimidating because of his bad temper, especially to his students who call him "Demon Kamijou", but is actually quite shy and gets flustered easily. He is a bit of a loner, but is currently in a relationship with Kusama Nowaki.

A perfect tsundere character! And it looks like this may have been taken in the same place as Nowaki's shoot. Thanks to Hime-sama for sending this!

Naruto: Hyuga Hinata 02

A member of Team 8 who suffers from a lack of self-confidence all throughout the series, Hyuga Hinata was disowned by her father at a young age because of her inability to stand up for herself. As a result, she was expelled from the Hyuga clan even though she is the eldest daughter of the clan's leader and its heiress. She begins training under her teacher and guardian, Yuhi Kurenai, to become a stronger person and prove her worth to her father.

Cute cosplay! Though I think like her brother Neji, her eyes are supposed to be white. A minor difference, in my opinion, as it is an unnatural color. Thanks to Ritchie for sending this in!

Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers: Cammy

One of for "New Challengers" in the fourth Street Fighter II revision, Cammy is a teen-aged agent of Delta Force Red within Britain's MI6. The game had 2 different endings for her; the Japanese version depicts Cammy as a former agent of M. Bison's, but suffered amnesia during her last operation. In the American version of the game, however, she was revealed to be M. Bison's lover, who was also suffering amnesia.

Impressive cosplay! Though I don't recall seeing a white version of her costume. I only remember green and blue ones. In any case though, thanks to Illinoisiana for the photo!

Shugo Chara!: Tsukiyomi Ikuto and Hoshina Utau

Though using different family names, Utau is actually Ikuto's younger sister who became a singing idol. Utau initially tried to find the Embryo in order to release her brother from Easter, but never succeeded in doing so. She actually becomes very jealous of Hinamori Amu as Ikuto shows an interest in her, but eventually accepts and becomes friends with her, wishing only for the happiness of her brother.

Cosplayer Calssara is the girl behind Utau, and you may have remembered her as Dark Saber from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Makes you wonder who is the cosplayer with her... Thanks a lot for sharing this!

Fushigi Yuugi: Yuki Miaka 02

Miaka is the series' protagonist who initially wanted to become Suzaku no Miko in order to use one of the wishes to ensure her entrance to the high school of her choice with her friend, Hongo Yui. As she began to gather the Celestial Warriors of Suzaku to summon the god, however, she falls in love with Tamahome, the first of the seven warriors she meets. She then begins to learn more about the world of the Book of the Four Gods, as well as her own world and her friendship with Yui.

Cosplayer Claire was first seen in this costume in the Philippine event known as "Cosmeet"! Mr. De la Cerna is the photographer behind this beautiful shot, and Tamy was the one who forwarded Claire's profile to me. Thanks a lot for sharing this!

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days: Demyx

The Organization's reconnaissance who is also known as the "Melodious Nocturne", Demyx is a slacker who prefers to play "Arpeggio", his sitar, rather than go on missions. He loathes physical labor and admits that he is not much of a fighter. He does, however, have power over water and controls the Dancer Nobodies.

Impressive Demyx from Sweden's Uppcon 2009! I wonder if that huge sitar actually plays music? Vea has given a lot of links conventions in Sweden, so expect more soon! Thanks again, Vea!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Hungary and Liechtenstein

I suddenly feel like I'm so far behind on the latest anime trends that my readers are probably laughing at me with all these cosplays that I don't know about.

Forgiveness, please?

The girl in the red dress does remind me of Saber, and Saber has been seen wearing a red dress before, but I don't think that's really the case here, is it? I mean, if it is, then who's the girl behind her?

Anyone care to point me in the right direction..? Thanks to Jacob for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Tara for letting me know this is Hungary and Liechtenstein from Hetalia: Axis Powers! Thanks also to Ame for emailing me the information!

I'm beginning to think I should check this anime out. This is the second cosplay from the series that I missed completely.
