I have a feeling this Rikku maybe the same as this one. Although I’m not all that certain… The costume has a lot of similarities though.

I found this from Baka Yumii’s Flickr… And since I’ve spoken about Rikku in five separate occasions already, I wouldn’t want to bore you all. But do you think this cosplayer could be the same as the first one I posted?

Playful, fearless, and somewhat childish, Dio Eraclea is the younger brother of the most powerful Guild Member, Maestro Delphine Eraclea. His unique Claus Valca’s skills gives him the nickname “Immelmann”, which refers to the the World War I German Ace, Max Immelmann.

i’ve never even heard of this anime at all, but this is an awesome cosplay shot. Thanks to Olga Dietrich for the photo!

A cute cosplay from the series, Dogs’ Luki and Noki. They are twin assassins, around the age of 10, who have collars around their neck to heal their injuries almost instantly. Each of them have an arm missing, thanks to a “test”done by Professor Eintellson.

They are quite childish in the methods of killing, thinking that it’s like “playing tag” with their victims until they finally catch them.

Very cute cosplay. This was taken from Southern California’s Cosplay Gathering in Irvine California. Thanks to Project Cosplay for sharing the photo! You may view the Flickr Account here.

My third (or fourth?) Chi cosplayer, and this time, it’s Kipi!

Chi’s real name is actually “Elda” and she is among the Chobit series; a special type of persocom who can “fee” and “fall in love”. Her twin sister, Freya, fell in love with their creator (and father), resulting in her “death” (her heart became so painful that she could no longer move). Elda “took” Freya’s consciousness resulting in her having 2 different persocom personalities existing within her. Even though she had all her memories deleted, both personalities still remained; Freya who remembers everything and Elda who remembers nothing.

Kipi makes a cute Chi… And that cake looks really good. I want some cake too..! Thanks to Welfsh for sharing this on Flickr!

Some cosplays are too good (or maybe too cute) to pass up, even though I have no idea where they’re from.

Take these 2 cute little girls for instance.

The only clue I have about them is from the source who says:

These kids were part of a singing / dancing group that performed onstage to promote a new Korean MMO.

But what game? And who are they?

So I’m opening up a new category in this blog. The “Unknown” portion will feature several cosplays from which I have no information on. If anyone has any idea, then please feel free to let me know. Then I can edit the entry and add in your information and credit you accordingly.

Thanks for reading guys! I look forward to your responses. The full version of this picture can be found in Rob Gruhl’s Flickr.

The child prodigy of the Hyuga Clan who has the ability to replicate the most powerful Gentle Fist attacks by simple observation, Neji is a member of Team Guy who used to believe in in a fatalistic philosophy: one’s destiny is inescapable and weak person will always be weak.

Because he is among his clan’s lower house, he is ineligible to learn the Clan’s most secret techniques making him bitter towards the people of the main house. His defeat in a battle with Naruto allows him to see the errors of his philosophy in life and made him fix his estranged relations with the main house, and eventually receiving training from the leader of the main house.

Awesome cosplay, especially the eyes. I wonder if you could still see with those contacts though?

Gatomon’s natural Ultimate Form, Angewomon is known as the female counterpart of Angemon although  she is of higher ranks due to her eight wings. She is and angel who resembles a Valkyrie thanks to her winged helmet.

This image was actually cropped from the original because I wanted to emphasize on the cosplayer. A fuller version of this picture can be found in Ikataplof’s Flickr account.

Awesome cosplay! Though I can’t help but wonder what the cosplayer really looks like?

Last year, on June 16th, there was a “Toys, Hobbies, and Collectibles Convention” in SM Megamall’s Megatrade Hall. An event I missed thanks to work, but I had no idea I missed such a great looking cosplay..!

Addy is cosplaying Karuma Mei, more commonly known as Franziska Von Karma from the game “Gyakuten Saiban 2″ (Phoenis Wright: Ace Attorney 2 - Justice For All). Mei is the undefeated Prosecutor from Germany who came to Japan in order to defeat Naruhodo Ryuichi and avenge her adoptive brother, Mitsurugi Reiji. Of interesting note, is that in the Japanese version, Mei went to America to study law, not Germany.

Did I mention she became a prosecutor when she was only 13?

Lovely cosplay; and this was originally found in Raincontreras’s Flickr account. I wonder what Mei is saying here though? Probably something like “Foolish fools who foolishly dreams a foolish fool’s dream”?

It would seem that I need to go to more conventions some time this year as I am running out of cosplays to feature.

This one was sent in by a member of Sanriotown. I’m not certain which convention this was from, but I’ve never seen a more convincing cosplay of Link and Princess Zelda. This cosplay is from series’ latest installment, “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess” on the Nintendo Wii. Just look at the beautiful details of Link’s shield and Princess Zelda’s armor! It’s absolutely breath-taking! Nice Job!

This will also be featured in my other blog. Thanks for visiting guys!

Beloved’s Fighter, Agatsuma Soubi, is a 20 year old art student who used to attend Shichisei Gakuen, a school for fighters. Ritsuka’s brother, Seimei’s true name is Beloved, as Ritsuka’s is Loveless. Under Seimei’s orders, Soubi became Ritsuka’s fighter, despite it being considered taboo. Eventually, Soubi abandoned the name altogether and operated under the name Loveless.

Wow… this cosplayer looks like he/she jumped out of the Loveless anime or manga. Really love the hair and how it was styled. I think this cosplayer is a girl though, but that doesn’t matter much since Soubi looks like a girl..?
