Cosplay World

Cosplay is currently a major hobby not only for the Japanese fans but also for hobbies around the world. For those who do not know what cosplay, cosplay is when someone dresses up like a character from an anime, game, or etc.

Wikipedia itself describes cosplay as:

Cosplay (????), Short for "costume play", is a Japanese subculture of dressing as characters from manga, anime, tokusatsu centered, and video games, and, less commonly, Japanese live action television shows, fantasy movies, Japanese pop music bands, Visual Kei, fantasy music stories (such as stories by the band Sound Horizon), and novels. Was, in some circles, "cosplay" expanded to mean simply wearing a costume. Cosplayers in Japan from recreation area through the joint teenagers to professional served. Thats right you heard me, PROFESSIONAL cosplayer. Even in the United States, there are a few pros. These people will deal with your request per hour one to one, a video, host a party, and etc. They are independent of costume to wear, if they can get access to him.

Can you play loads of people some good professional attitude cosplayer to imagine their strange fantasies? I have to tell me they see only some of these professionals makes me go .... ... .. Maybe just maybe a little. But unfortunately I will probably never know whether I do or not for a majority, in fact, I would be 95 percent of professionals are native speakers Japanese people say.

Like I said, most professionals are native Japanese and although I would say some of the best cosplayers who are native Japanese. But hey, just because most of them does not mean all of them. There are quite a lot of sexy and good cosplayer in other parts of the country which are not at all Japanese, so although a majority The cosplayers are teenagers and up, but not all of them. And are as big as professionals, sometimes they're just cannot beat the good old AWWW Factor cosplaying children. KAWAII!

If you do not say or think AWWW to the pictures above, and then you just have not been a beating heart! Cosplaying is both an interesting and at the same time the strange hobby. As much fun as it may seem and look as cool as the girls in their costumes, one can not help but think, hmm, this is a healthy hobby? But then again is is not much different than civil war reenactments and such things. So all and all it just seems like a good old fun. Hey, if you enjoy or enjoy cosplaying to see some cosplayers as I do, why not go a few conventions. I sure plan on going some in Japan in the near future ... and ... uhhh .... You .... Even .... ... ... Perhaps hire a professional ... .. for a birthday party, I swear ... .... (^_-)
