Lucky Star: Izumi Konata
The stereotypical otaku (anime lover) character in the series Lucky Star, Izumi Konata is fun loving, athletic girl who prefers her hobbies over studies and sports. Since she needs a lot of money to keep up with the latest anime and manga series, she works part time in a cosplay cafe.
Parodies of The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi can be seen in this anime while Kona-chan works in the cafe. In one episode, Konata cosplayed Haruhi and danced the signature ending theme song. Ironic, considering Konata and Haruhi have the same seiyuu (voice actress), Hirano Aya, and yet you wouldn’t have noticed if you don’t read the end credits.
Cute cosplay! She got Kona-chan’s expression perfectly. Even that one strand of hair sticking out on top. Nicely done!

that’s the way some voice actresses are. professional to the point of multiple personality disorder proportions.
the cosplayer’s hair looks edible . . .

Edible?
Even if it was… I doubt it’s that tasty though…

Haha, that’s one of the best Konata’s i’ve seen ^^
And you’re right, for some odd reason it does seem edible =O
And I think Haruhi and Konata have the same English voice actress too O_O
