Unknown Entry 014

Monday, October 20th, 2008

With all the game cosplays in the Unknown category, you could probably tell that I hardly play any online games and MMORPGs at all.

Doesn’t mean I don’t like them though.

So for this week, I would guess they’re Korean online mmorpg characters. They might be hired or professional cosplayers, but even with that knowledge, you have to admit, the costume and the cosplayers are very impressive.

Anyone have any ideas?

Reborn!: Byakuran

katekyo hitman reborn! cosplay - byakuran

I have no idea where this character is from, at all. I think it’s something from a more recent anime series… And I haven’t been watching any new ones lately. But maybe you guys have a better idea with the marks on the cosplayer’s face and the ring?

So pretty and white though… Lovely shot.

EDIT: Oh, the 13th Unknown on the 13th of October. Who would have thought?

EDIT 2: Thank you, Rikobaka for letting me know this is Byakuran, the First Boss and Leader of the infamous Mafia Family, Millefiore!

Final Fantasy X-2: LeBlanc

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - leblancWell, I’ll be.

I believe several people speculated this to be someone from Final Fantasy, though I’ve never really gotten her character name. From what I know about this image (aside from it sitting in my old hard drive for a while now), it was taken from PC Online and she’s a character from an MMO game.

Other than that, the background of the photo looks the same as Aerith Gainsborough’s from Final Fantasy VII. Taken at the same time in the same venue maybe?

EDIT: A huge thanks to Nathan for commenting to let me know that this is LeBlanc, the leader of LeBlanc Syndicate from Final Fantasy X-2!

Unknown Entry 011

Monday, September 29th, 2008

unknown cosplay 011It’s that time of the week again! I’d like to thank everyone for helping out with trying to find out where these characters featured in Unknown are from; it’s all very much appreciated! Keep those guesses coming!

This one I think looks like Kinomoto Sakura from Card Captor Sakura. But I’m not sure about the costume since I didn’t get to watch all the episodes. Or she could be someone else entirely; like a game character.

Thoughts?

I’s: Isozaki Izumi

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

unknown cosplay 010 - i's For this week, I have a fairly good idea as to where this character is from, thanks to her uniform.

She’s definitely a character from I’s, but I don’t know the series well enough to tell who she is.

I don’t think she’s one of the main characters, but I could be wrong. She’s defintely not Iori because Iori has shorter hair.

Help me out?

Thanks very much to Linkthe1st for suggesting this character is actually Isozaki Izumi from before she had cut her hair in the series! I think it’s highly probable, unless this girl just felt like cosplaying and decided to wear I’s school uniform.

Dir en Grey: Toshiya

Monday, September 15th, 2008

unknown cosplay 009 - nana (?)I have a few guesses for this Unknown, but the best guess I can come up with is Nana.

But then again, she could be someone from a game. I mean, with those shoulder armors? She may be a warrior of some sort that I don’t know about.

So I’ll leave the decision up to you good people. Any takers?

Thanks to Rainer and Hesper for saying this is Toshiya from the Jrock band “Dir En Grey”. Thanks also to Mun-yeen and daachan for confirming this!

Unknown Entry 008

Monday, September 8th, 2008

unkknown cosplay 008San Diego held a Comic Con back in August 2008. A lot of people were cosplaying several characters ranging from games, anime, movies, and comic book characters.

I found this picture from a friend, and it’s originally found on this blog. The details on her costume are amazing, and I wonder, is she cosplaying someone, or is this original?

Thanks for sharing the photo!
