Bleach: Ishida Uryuu

bleach cosplay - ishida uryuuRemember what I said about Filipinoes cosplaying really well?

Well, this is a good opportunity to introduce Jin, a cosplayer that rivals even Philippine Idol Alodia.

Jin is apparently from the Philippines, but the cosplaying is on the same class as the really good Japanese ones most people practically worship. This is a really nice cosplay of Ishida Uryuu from Bleach. I’m not sure if it’s the lighting or the photography, but it looks really good!

Nice job, Jin. Giving a shout out to El Angeles for great photography and special thanks to Moon Crest for giving me the links! Check our Jin’s DeviantArt account for more of her awesome cosplays! (And I’ll be sure to add more of her photos on this blog too!)

    A girl?! @_@

    Hi I’m a cosplayer from UK ~ just noticed you mentioned El Angeles, she’s a good friend of mine! And yes, she’s an amazing photographer @_@;;

    BTW please excuse the tone of my blog, it’s because this is my secret blog for close friends where I do all my ranting LOL

  6. Nanao-Chan Says:

    Oh, Orihime, you’re a cosplayer? How about sending some pics to me then? :D just send them to me email please, please!

  7. shadowcat Says:

    Whoa, this is a girl? Doesn’t look like one here (no offense, of course).

  8. Cho Says:

    Wow. That’s impressive. She played Uryuu pretty well. Although, I can tell the cosplayer is a girl by second look.

  9. nanao_chan:kuririnmail.com Says:

    I don’t know… This image of Jin is too deceiving… I think a lot of people got confused. :| But those are the makings of a good cosplay I believe. :D

  10. Xumi Says:

    XD, really, great the cosplay, but i think that the skin it very photoshoped, or he had a ton of base when the picture was taken Xp

  11. Xumi Says:

    ahh???

    its she???

    XD

    hard to tell

  12. nanao_chan:kuririnmail.com Says:

    Yeah, for this picture it’s a bit hard to tell… I will post more pictures of Jin soon. :D

  13. Chiara Says:

    Ah, apparently people all over the world are confused about Jin’s gender. Actually, Jin is a guy. Although he does have a female twin with whom he used to share a deviantART account. She now has her own account, though. (You might want to go see it. She’s a good cosplayer, too. ^^v)

    What makes people confused about this cosplayer’s gender is the fact that he and his twin both go by the name Jin. The guy’s Kenjin, the girl’s Nejin. Shortened, they’re both just Jin. Ne? 8D

    I’m quite sure about this conclusion since I’ve done some research *ahemahemstalkingahem*, but the confusion’s still making me have doubts. Maybe you’d, um, want to go check it out for yourself, too? ^^;

    On a non-gender related note, I prefer Jin over Alodia. I guess it’s Jin’s group’s closeness with each other that makes their cosplays really charming, even inspirational.

  14. nanao_chan:kuririnmail.com Says:

    Now I’m confused… Which Jin is this and where’s the other Jin’s account? @_@

  15. Chiara Says:

    The girl Jin’s account’s http://ceruleanmorning.deviantart.com/
    This one you featured is the guy Jin.

    Oh, dear. I’m sorry about confusing you! D:

  16. nanao_chan:kuririnmail.com Says:

    Haha~ It’s alright. :D At least you got me more cosplayers to feature, and for that, I give you my thanks! :D

    So I was right after all… This Jin is a he. :| Lol! I think I need a deviant art account so I can just message devian artists before featuring them. 8)

  17. Kaoru Says:

    Who cares about gender, anyway?! Jin’s good, and whether he/she’s a he/she, that wouldn’t change, right? Let’s just drop that issue and focus on his/her talent.

    (Personally, though, I still say Jin’s female. No kidding.)

  18. nanao_chan:kuririnmail.com Says:

    Yes, yes… talented. :D very!!!

  19. hoshiko Says:

    haha your actually wrong. If you look at their gallery and Jinny’s(Nejin’s) multiply, you’ll see picture of her and her twin brother. Nejin, infact does has a twin brother who cosplays for all the guy characters. Kenjin’s(twin brother) account on DA is behindinfinity while Nejin’s DA account in ceruleanmorning.

    I hope this clears this up, as well as Kenjin and Nejin actually planned to keep their twincest pictures away from Public so that’s where the confusion mainly comes from.*sweatdrop*

  20. MC Says:

    Noooo, they’re one person. -__-;

    Nejin~sama just made up the twin story. There is no twin. She’s a girl. If you only looked at her deviantart, then it would really seem to you that she had a twin.

  21. Wence Says:

    I forgot which convention it was, but if you went there, you would see the two of them at the same time. One cosplaying Sakura, the other Naruto. So it’s impossible that they’re making it up. ~__~

  22. Aki Says:

    No, they really are only one person, and Jin cleared this up on the CeruleanMorning account. They were never at a convention at the exact same time. At Fanime, you will notice they were never taken in a picture together. In another con, Jin was present as Sakura but China was Naruto.

  23. Lilly Says:

    It’s incredible how many people have been deceived by Jin. Jin is a girl. And she has no twin. It’s a lie, for whatever reason, I do not know in detail. Those photos of “the two twins together” are fake, manipulated in photoshop. Seriously, guys, she’s in an art school and knows how to edit very well in Photoshop. Her latest shoot has an altered photo with multiple Narutos (performing Kage no Bunshin) that are all her. It can be done. I’ve met her, too, and spoken with her (at two cons in the Philippines). I know that she’s a girl. She even said as much to me. I know she doesn’t approve of people who actually know the truth to state as much, but it irks me when I see people in the dark. It really does. So sorry, Jin, but it really needs to be cleared. I respect you, tons, but this saddens me. You have a good heart, be brave and let people know. Stop the lies. You’ve gone too far, yes, but for everything that you stand for, you must take the fall eventually without running away. I hope you come across this, somehow. Private calls amount to nothing.

  24. Rain Says:

    Gaaah. I thought for sure they were tiwns?! Especially with the whole twins holding the apple thing? Remember that picture? Hmm if it’s really just one person, I don’t get why she hides it? It’s not like she’s losing or gaining anything. o.O In the latest photos, China plays Sakua and Jin plays Naruto so I guess it’s really just one person. Oh well. She’s still an exceptional cosplayer nonetheless.

  25. tsu-chan:mymelody.com Says:

    OMG ITS JIN!
    he also is an awesome Ichigo!

  26. prudencee lumiere Says:

    Well, the fact is Jin is a girl. Kenjin and Nejin haven’t came to any convention together, they haven’t took any picture together. Well, those pics are photoshopped, after all. If you really want to know, don’t stalk her because it’s really hard (she has blocked her multiply account for non-friends). Go stalk her friends anywhere, and you can find the truth!^^

    Tip from me: I searched “ceruleanmorning” on my search engine and found many facts. You may find that “Nejin” is a girl, but you’ll also find that Jin is actually a girl named Kenjin. Well, I didn’t find anything about “twin brother” -_-;;

  27. prudencee lumiere Says:

    Whoa… I WAS WRONG!!!

    It should be “You may find that ‘Nejin’ is a girl, but you’ll also find that Jin is actually a girl named Nejin..”

  28. Kiaya Says:

    Jin is a guy. Here is the link to his deviant art page. http://behindinfinity.deviantart.com/ If you read his journal entries and see the pics, you can see more casual pics of him and it shows it is definitely a guy…this entry is probably my fav…his NarutoxSasuke cosplay with Miguel is EPIC. http://behindinfinity.deviantart.com/journal/20252415/

  29. Aya Says:

    first of all, jin is a girl.. she doesn’t have any twin =3

    anyway, i love hre cosplay and she’s really kind and friendly…

  30. Fynill Says:

    There has never been a convention where the “two twins” have been present. I have been to many of them. That, and I KNOW Jin is female. She has A LOT of people fooled on dA, even a few at the Philippines–crazy. Photo manipulation does wonders. You have to understand that Jin projects herself as a male in her dA journals and deviations and avoids all questions concerning her gender. That’s what she wants. I can’t understand why. She should stop, considering how popular she is. If you look, you can find clues all over the net. It’s frustrating to see people say, “No, Jin is a guy. He has a twin, her name is Nejin!” Sure, that’s totally true. I have gotten into arguments with friends in the U.S.A. over this. I live in the Philippines and have gone to school with her! I KNOW Jin’s female. Either way, too many people are being deceived, and Jin won’t do a damn thing about it. >.

  31. fangirl Says:

    china and jin looks the same especially when cosplaying as naruto. no 2 jin came at any cons… its either jin cosplaying as naruto, china as sakura or jin cosplaying as sakura and china as naruto. nejin and jin are not twin, same person.jin probably use binders to hide her chest.most filipino crossdressers do that.

  32. genshikenmember Says:

    I dunno why she has to make believe others that she has a twin.

    Her thesis maybe? Hahaha

  33. Fan of Jin Says:

    First of all, About the CAPSLOCK, don’t mind it. Not Shouting :D

    Jin is a girl and has no twin. In one of her deviation, She replied (ITS NOT EXACTLY WHAT SHE SAID) “Most of the people in online communities knows me as Nejin” and again, (im not really stalking at all, i need to know the truth) in ~ceruleanmorning DA Account, i found her comment on her own DA and this is what it says (NOW, THIS IS EXACT, I’LL JUST GET THE IMPORTANT LINE) “I have a brother, but we’re not twins”
    See? If Jin says that she has a twin named Nejin, then WHY THIS NEJIN denies that they’re not twins??

    Sometimes, China mentions Jin as “SHE”. I also reached the last page of comments in ~ceruleanmorning DA Account. And a friend commented that (ITS IN FILIPINO, I TRANSLATED IT) “Another Account :D ” then ~ceruleanmorning DA Account replied (TRANSLATED AGAIN) “There’s a commotion on the other O_o”

    Im a great fan of Jin and the Tuxedo Team. I have respect for them.
    I just wanna share and know the truth.

  34. Satsuu Says:

    I’ll answer the above post. To conceal herself that she’s a girl.
    Or another reason, I might be wrong.

    But yes, she IS a girl.
    Before she blocked her multiply account, I saw many of her photos as herself with her friends, not cosplay photos. Photos from high schools, to college life, to parties.

    I can tell you everything about what’s in the photos, but it’s best to keep it silent, since it’s confidential to her and I’ve no right to tell the story.

    There is NO twin. Not from what her journal says in DA, nor in the photos.
    She is her as herself.
    Try to look up her cosplay photos in her DA journal. Some are linked to ceruleanmorning’s photobucket. But both flickr and photobucket account has been blocked.

  35. Momo Says:

    JIN IS A GIRL.

    I met her in a cosplay convention twice and she’s very very kind.

    want proof that she’s really a she?

    Watch the video of Mymp - Only Reminds Me of You. the long haired girl is Jin.

    This is a response that I found from Jin:

    Eh? I never outrightly say what my gender is so I never said I was a boy. No lying done. It’s just that this is my crossplay account for male characters, and ~ceruleanmorning is my cosplay account for girl characters so that the pictures are organized in different galleries. Personal preference is all. The twin thing is just a joke my friends like to make. They think it’s fun. But I like to stay ambiguous because it gives me the feeling that people aren’t invading my personal space. When they get to know me better, I let them get closer. And everyone from my country knows my real gender because I hang out with people during conventions so it’s no big secret, really. If it were then I wouldn’t show my face at events, haha. I just like to keep the people who know at a minimum because that creates a somewhat special bond between us.

    Jin is a crossdresser… so she’s a girl… her features are really same as a girl… just look and find the traits that determined between a guy and a gal… she was very well good at crossdressing… just what i believe and notice to her…

  39. Anonymous Says:

    Man, you people are EXTREMELY nosy and misinformed. I think that’s enough to count this is one of those “extreme circumstances” Jin referred to.

    That should answer your questions.
