Naruto: Momochi Zabuza 02

naruto cosplay - momochi zabuzaPretty cool cosplay of Zabuza if I do say so myself. I must apologize, however… I can’t remember whether this individual was a semi-finalist, or one of the winners of the G2Con. I do remember that during the event, his huge sword kept on hitting the ceiling unintentionally.

But I think he’s a nice rival for the first Zabuza I posted.

Oh the days of when digital cameras were a thing of luxury. I only had one shot to spare per cosplayer, and one chance to get it right. I think Zagato turned out better than this though, don’t you think so?

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Reno

final fantasy 7 cosplay - reno Reno is well known as the comic relief of Final Fantasy VII. He is a member of the Turks or Department of Administrative Research, a group that perform covert operations on behalf of Shinra. Though his way of wearing his Turks uniform portrays him to be lazy and arrogant, he is actually very skilled in using his weapon, the Electro-Mag Rod, and takes a lot of pride in his work. He also loves to gossip and is a pretty good helicopter pilot.

Quite an impressive cosplay of Reno. One can actually feel his arrogance through the photograph. I wouldn’t be surprised if he accidentally steps on Rude’s sunglasses again though…

Tomb Raider: Lara Croft

tomb raider cosplay - lara croftLara Croft is a Tomb Raider in search of lost treasures. Interesting note is that this character was honored a star in the Walk of Game and has earned a Guinness World Record for being the “most successful human video game heroine”.

And to think, she was originally just an Indiana Jones clone.

Actually, this isn’t a fan cosplay. Karima Adebibe is the official model for Lara Croft. She basically cosplays Lara for game promotions on radio, TV, and other media. She also had a small role as the sacrificial maiden in the movie Alien vs. Predator in 2004.

I still think, even if she’s being paid to look like Lara, she does an awesome cosplay. Professionalism at its finest.

Samurai Shodown: Nakoruru

samurai shodown cosplay - nakoruru I’m pretty sure this is Nakoruru from Samurai Shodown, but I don’t remember her to have a mask, do you?

Anyway, Nakoruru is living with her grandparent, Sanoku, and younger sister, Rimururu in a place called Ainu Moshiri Kamui Kotan. You could say that the Ainu people are like the Native Americans in the United States; people who are basically very close to nature. Nakoruru’s role in the game is the Defender of Mother Nature, and in some materials, she is refered to as the priestess of the Ainu religion.

I’m seriously wondering what this cosplayer looks like behind her mask… Nice photo still!

Xenosaga: KOS-MOS

xenosaga cosplay - kos-mos

The cosplay is awesome, and the bike is even more awesome, so please click on the image to view the larger image in its full glory…

The cosplayer is recreating KOS-MOS from Xenosaga, an android developed by the interstellar conglomerate Vector Industries. The name “KOS-MOS” stands for “Kosmos Obey Strategical Multiple Operation Systems”, a recursive acronym used to denote an anti-Gnosis tactic system. She has a tendency to put logic and probability first makes her difficult to manage at times. Her true identity is that of Mary Magdalene, called the partner of the Messiah.

I love the cosplay… Makes me wonder if one is allowed to drive such a vehicle in public.

Final Fantasy X-2: Rikku 04

final fantasy x-2 cosplay - ying dong as rikkuOh my gosh, wow, I can’t believe I totally missed this!

Here I was looking for some awesome cosplays and I didn’t notice Ying Dong of Sanriotown was the legendary Rikku cosplayer!

I say legendary since I’ve seen this photo a long time ago and I always wondered who this girl was! I saw this image in Ying’s Flickr Account and read this caption:

That’s me! Full set of images can be seen at http://video.sanriotown.com/engine/flaon/player?idcode=2462

That is so awesome, Ying! No wonder you love cosplays so much! You make such an awesome Rikku! I hope you do more cosplays and share them on Sanriotown!

Lucky Star: Shiraishi Minoru and Kogami Akira

lucky star cosplay - shiraishi minoru and kogami akira I’m so sorry for not updating over the holidays… I’ve been quite ill for a while, and no one wants to spend the holidays sick in bed… But that’s how I spent my Christmas. :(

Anyway, I found a bunch of pretty awesome cosplays, and it’s a nice welcome for the new year to post a bunch of them to start of with, right?

This is the one I saw that was most amusing. You see, in the anime “Lucky Star”, there’s a special segment at the end of the show called “Lucky Channel”. The girl, Akira, is apparently an idol who can be super cute when she’s in the mood, and a huge pain when she’s mad. Minoru is her assistant, who became more famous than Akira, though this picture makes it look as if he’s trying to get a spot in the limelight!

Pretty accurate cosplay! Lucky Star rules!
