Nabari no Ou: Yoite

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009

nabari no ou cosplay - yoiteA Kairoshu ninja who uses the forbiden technique “kira”, Yoite is a sensitive boy who wishes to be “erased” from existence. The technique he uses is very dangerous because it utilizes the user’s “ki” to control someone from the inside out. This can not only kill the target, but the technique also eats up the person’s life force, gradually losing the five senses and eventually, death.

It is estimated that Yoite only has 2 months left to live. Despite this however, he still wants Rokujo Miharu to use the Shinrabansho to grant his wish to be erased.

A simple cosplay with taste. I don’t think a lot of people would mind wearing something like this for everyday wear. Great work!

Ouran High School Host Club: Suou Tamaki and Ootori Kyouya 02

ouran high school host club cosplay - suou tamaki and ootori kyouya 02 by dees of deviantart

The “Father” and “Mother” of the Ouran Host Club, Tamaki and Kyouya have been friends since middle school, despite their differences. All of the club’s elaborate endeavors are taken cared of by Kyouya and the club usually favors Kyouya’s leadership over Tamaki’s, even though Tamaki is the Founder and Club President while Kyouya serves as vice-president.

You might recognize this cosplayer, since I featured her cosplaying as Nomiya from Honey and Clover… That’s right, she’s Dees, and this is from her Deviant Art Gallery. Great work as usual! Keep it up!

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!: Sawada Tsunayoshi and Hibari Kyoya

unknown cosplay 025

Technically, he’s a poor student for falling asleep in class. But then again, this picture is so cute, I certainly don’t mind it.

But I have no idea what anime or game this is from. Perhaps you guys have a better idea? The coat has a significant armband on it, so that might be a clue…

EDIT: Thanks to Allensiya for commenting this is Sawada Tsunayoshi with Hibari Kyoya draping his coat over him! Aww…

Bleach: Hinamori Momo 03

bleach cosplay - hinamori momo 03 One of my readers, who calls herself Aisling from Singapore, sent in her photo as a contribution to this blog. The photo was taken on the year end event of Singapore Expo or EOY 2008.

With so many cosplayers there, I definitely want to visit Singapore one day… To see the country aside from taking cosplay pictures, of course!

I think she makes a really cute Hinamori, and a stunning rival for the first two cosplayers I’ve featured. Thanks, Aisling! I hope you cosplay more soon!

Air Gear: Wanijima Akito/Agito 02

air gear cosplay - wanijima akito/ agito The Fang King who was originally amongst the Wind SWAT team, Wanijima Akito was saved from his fate by Kogarasumaru’s Leader, Minami “Ikki” Itsuki.

Even though Akito stated that he was the original Fang King; another personality, Wanijima Lind emerges from the battle against Orca. Lind is stronger than the two and does not care for anyone… not even for Akito and Agito.

I didn’t know there was a blue version of his costume. The original design was color orange, if I’m not mistaken. Thanks to Exhibition MindBlue for sharing the photo!

Rozen Maiden: Suigintou 04

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

rozen maiden cosplay - suigintou 04 Suigintou is the only Rozen Maiden with wings. In the manga, it’s explained that these wings are considered to be flaws, because it created cracks on her back. However, Suigintou is considered to be one of the most powerful Rozen Maiden dolls because she has no actual need of a medium to use her powers. She is also the only doll to have been defeated and revived three times.

I got this photo from Hung, the photographer’s blog. He has a lot of exquisite collection of cosplay photos, and I’ll be sure to feature more of them when I get the chance. Thanks for sharing them, Hung!

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Ayanami Rei 04

Tuesday, January 13th, 2009

neon genesis evangelion cosplay - ayanami rei by zoe222542Did you ever wonder what the creator thinks about his own character?

I found this quote from Wikipedia:

"An emotional change causes certain muscles in the face to tense, producing an "expression". Rei is expressionless but is it that she doesn’t feel emotion, or that she is merely unable to express it?"

- Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, character designer and mangaka of Neon Genesis Evangelion

Zoe is the 4th Ayanami Rei cosplayer I’ve posted so far, and all 4 of them are fantastic! Do you have a favorite?
