Kingdom Hearts II: Riku

Friday, February 6th, 2009

kingdom hearts 2 cosplay riku Riku is Sora’s and Kairi’s best friend who was tried and tested for his friendship when he became possessed by Xehanort’s Heartless. He was, however, able to overcome this darkness and became Sora’s silent ally.

He proved that he values his friendship with Sora when he used the remaining powers of darkness in his heart while capturing Roxas. He sacrificed himself, becoming a manifestation of Xehanort’s Heartless in order to complete Sora.

It actually took me a while to figure out who this character was since I’m not familiar with the game. Brilliant job with this cosplay though. I really like the hair!

Granado Espada Official MTV: Fu Huo

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

A beautiful MTV about 2 friends who then became rivals. And the cosplay is very impressive! This video features a female elementalist, a musketeer, and a fighter.

Honestly though, I don’t think musketeers are capable of close combat. But that’s as far as I can go with my complaints. ^^

Vocaloid: Black Rock Shooter

vocaloid cosplay - black rock shooterAs Hatsune Miku takes away the aspiring composers by storm, a new character known as Black Rock Shooter emerges.

She looks like the black version of Hatsune Miku, but she’s actually an original creation by Huke who worked with the composer of Black Rock Shooter, Ryo. Because of the song’s popularity, someone went ahead and cosplayed her and was photographed by Jack Hanger.

Pretty cool cosplay! I bet a lot of girls would be trying to cosplay as BRS pretty soon! Thanks for sharing this Jack!

Akazukin Chacha: Magical Princess Chacha

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

akazukin chacha cosplay - magical princess chachaChacha is a young magician who lives in Seravi’s house, Chacha’s guardian and magic teacher. when she began school, Seravi gave her the Princess Medallion along with a magical bracelet for her friend Riiya and a ring to Shiine. These three items allow Chacha to transform into a magical Princess who can defeat Daimaou’s Minions, so long as the three of them are together.

I have to admit, I never thought I’d be able to find a cosplay of such a classic anime. Some of you may be familiar with the title "Akazkin Chacha" because of the novel Death Note Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases where we find out that Ryuzaki loves this manga series especially Shiine.

Cute cosplay. Crimson Rain mentioned that the cosplayer’s name is 桜井ヒノキ. I can’t read Japanese, so I have no idea how you say that. Excellent work though! You can find other images of her in this cosplay here.

unknown cosplay 027

I have no idea where this cosplay is from, but I really like how the character looks so… blue!

Definitely someone people will recognize… I think? I really have no idea at this point, so a little help would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Thanks to Suzurin for letting me know this is Sinbad from Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne!
