Bleach: Urahara Kisuke

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

bleach cosplay - urahara kisuke“Geta-boshi”, meaning “Mister Hat-and-Clogs” is a generally carefree character who mysteriously appears in the scene of some important event, being the catalyst rather than the one who does the actual work. He can be serious when the situation calls for it, but he rarely intervenes in battles unless extremely necessary.

It makes me wonder what this cosplayer really looks like behind the fan. Nice cosplay and posing! I especially like his hat. Good job!

EDIT: Thanks to MelonPlay for letting me know this cosplayer is Scruffy Rebel from Cosplay.com!

Gurren Lagann: Yoko Littner

Saturday, August 23rd, 2008

gurren lagann cosplay - yoko littner Don’t let her cute looks fool you. Yoko is an extensive wielder of firearms, including the long range sniper rifle she’s holding in the image. She is the mature and rational member of the group, though she badmouths Kamina on occasion.

Yoko also loves children and is seen as a teacher named “Yomako” by the end of the series.

Nice pose, and her boots are pretty cute. I had no idea who this was until I searched the internet for more information. Thanks to Cosholics Cafe for the photo!

Air Gear: Noyamano Ringo and Simca

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

air gear cosplay - noyama ringo and simcaShe may look like a simple junior high school girl, but the King Class AT user, Noyamano Ringo, is the current Thorn King (or rather “Queen”) of the Eight Kings in the AT World. She is the successor of the legendary Storm Riders Team Sleeping Forest and Simca’s rival to Minami Itsuki aka “Ikki”.

And of course, I’ve already rambled about Simca here. No need for a repeat, am I right? :D

I do think I like this Simca cosplayer better than the first one though. Then again, maybe that’s just because of the costume?

I first found this on That Girls Site. Thanks for sharing the photo!

Final Fantasy X: Auron

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

final fanatasy x cosplay - auron This 35-year-old unsent warrior monk for Bevelle whose attack to Yunalesca led to his death, Auron is Tidus‘ Mentor and Yuna’s guardian. He kept his status of being an unsent a secret, although there were a lot of suspicions raised when he refused to enter the farplane at Guadosalam. He was eventually laid to rest when Yu Yevon was finally defeated.

I can’t believe how accurate this cosplay is! I love the costume’s details and the cosplayer’s attitude. Nice job!

Tsubasa - Reservoir Chronicle: Fay D. Flourite

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

I am so annoyed that I can’t see the cosplayer’s face here. But for Fay to now show his face is actually very characteristic.

tsubasa - reservoir chronicle cosplay - fay d. flourite

Fay is one of Syaoran’s allies. He is happy-go-lucky and carefree, but is very mysterious, in the sense that he seems to have little regard for his own life. He can be very perceptive and is considered to be as skillful as Kurogane. He also often hides his own unhappiness with a fake smile.

I’ve been wondering if I should post this or not when I found it on Flickr. Mainly because I seldom feature cosplayers who don’t show their face, give or take a few. I still find this pretty, though!

EDIT: Thanks to MelonPlay for letting me know the cosplayer’s name is Naraku from Cosplay.com!

Loveless: Aoyagi Seimei

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

loveless cosplay - aoyagi seimeiThe mysterious older brother of Aoyagi Ritsuka, Seimei’s personality has a lot of different interpretations canonically. To Soubi, who serves as his fighter, Seimei is kind and gentle; to the members of Nanatsu no tsuki, Beloved was cruel and sadistic. Ritsuka could only remember him as the one who protected him from their abusive mother.

What could Seimei be really like? Since the manga is still on going, there’s no real info about him yet. But there was one thing that was apparently confirmed: Seimei is still alive, and the person who died in his place was only identified by his dental records.

I wasn’t too sure if this was Ritsuka or Seimei, but his hair is long enough to be Seimei’s I think. The cat ears are really cute too, don’t you think?

Tenchu: Fatal Shadows: Ayame

Monday, August 18th, 2008

No Unknown Cosplays for this week, guys. I found out who she’s cosplaying as!

fatal shadows cosplay - ayame

An orphan raised and trained by Master Shiunsai, Ayame (once called “Omon”) posses natural, raw talent as a kunoichi. She never had the patience to master techniques as a child, but she was initiated into the circle of ninja at the age of 14. Ayame is known for her skills with blades, caustic tongue, and speed.

I first thought she was an assassin from Ragnarok, but I was wrong. The symbols on her white belt are definitely from Techu’s 4th Game. The blades of those swords look very sharp. I wonder if they’re real?
