Rurouni Kenshin: Kamiya Kaoru and Takani Megumi

Kaoru first met Megumi when Kenshin and Sanosuke brought her home from the gambling house where they were playing dice. She was furious that Kenshin brought a female stranger into her home and Megumi sensed that Kaoru was actually jealous. Megumi then plays the flirt and makes several advances towards Kenshin, which he handles nervously and refrains from submitting to. Megumi successfully makes Kaoru jealous at just about anything throughout the series.

Cute cosplay by Filipina cosplayers, Loon2x and Opium Queen! The expressions on their faces are just priceless! Thanks to Utary for sending this!

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart and Cloud Stife

Two years after Cloud Strife was able to defeat Sephiroth, Cloud lived with Tifa Lockhart in a city called Edge where they have been taking care of Barret Wallace’s daughter, Marlene, and an orphan named Denzel. A strange new disease called “Geostigma” threatened the lives of many citizens, including Cloud. He then journeys to meet the Turks, a group that performs operations with the megacorporation Shinra. It was later revealed that Jenova, the extraterrestrial life form whose cells were injected into Sephiroth, was connected to the cause of the Geostigma.

Impressive cosplay by You Mi as Tifa and her friend, Jasmine! This somehow reminds me of a scene from Dead Fantasy, but I think I’d rather add this to Advent Children. Thanks to You Mi for sending this!

Bleach: Shiba Kukaku 02

It is only in the anime that Shiba Kukaku's missing right arm is replaced with a prosthetic piece. She has some kind of relationship with the Urahara Shop, knowing Shihoin Yoruichi and claiming to have worked with Urahara Kisuke in the past. Kukaku is able to perform high level kido spells and carries a kodachi tied around the remaining portion of her right arm.

Beautiful cosplayer from the “Japan Expo Sud”, a French convention in Marseille! And it looks like Kukaku is quite the shutterbug herself. Thanks to Clad for the cool photography and for sending this!

EDIT: Welcome to Cosplay Holic, Kim Rey! She is the cosplayer featured in this post.

Naruto: Gaara 02

Just like Kakashi, cosplayer Mimi has also decided to try and make out what Gaara would look like if he used Naruto’s Sexy no Jutsu technique.

Her photos are quite impressive! I like how we get to see a little of that “愛”symbol on her forehead. Perhaps I need to make a “genderbent” section on this blog for cosplays like this? Thanks again to Mimi for sharing this!

Angel Beats!: Shiina 02

Before joining the SSS, Shiina lived in the deepest underground level, a place not yet controlled by the guild. Yuri and Noda refer to Shiina as the “underground” or the “final” boss, because their first meeting resulted in bloodshed. Shiina also attacked Oyama, Cha, and Hinata relentlessly and the group was only able to escape her wrath by returning to the Afterlife School where they regrouped and planned a counter-attack.

Cute cosplay! But with that look in her eyes, I don’t think I’d want to mess with her either. Thanks to anon for sending this in!

UTAUloid: Kasane Teto

I have this nagging feeling that she may be another fanmade Vocaloid character like Yowane Haku, but I've gone through a couple of Vocaloid fansites with no luck in finding out who she could be! I wish we could at least see what the number on her right arm is, then I’d have a better clue!

If I had to guess though, I’d think she’s probably another version of Miku or Meiko.

For now, I’ll be featuring her in the Unknown Section until I get a better idea. Thanks to Ian for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to Heimi for letting me know she is Kasane Teto from UTAUloid!

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!
