Rikuo Nura | Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan

Rikuo is the title character and main protagonist of the series, an average 12-year old boy who inherited 1/4 of his grandfather's yōkai blood. In times of impending danger his yōkai blood awakens and he switches into his night form to become the Master of the yōkai (the master of all spirits). His yōkai form is confident, strong and inspires "Fear" amongst his allies leading many to join him. 

For me, level of cosplayers known from their seriousness level, and LALAAX do it! I don't know about how she got the concept, but the result is told about that level..a good idea to make floating lotus illusion.. Nura's hairstyle is ultra-whimsical, and well done by LALAAX, that looks cool.

Heisuke Todo | Hakuoki : Shinsengumi Kitan

I don't sure how the character really look in Anime, but I like how Kotori as kid has a seriously project in cosplay world, her hairstyling and her costume looks fit in her small figure^^luv u, Kotori^^

Heisuke is a young member of the Shinsengumi. He is around the same age as Chizuru. He leaves the Shinsengumi, following Itou along with Hajime Saitou, but later returns. He too has taken Ochimizu to recover from injuries.

Kikyou | Beatmania

 
my last post for this turn with Kikyou by Kotaro. I always liked the character like this, whimsical eyebrow, small lips, white skull, and white hair.....pretty nice, just like Hinoto from X-CLAMP.

Osaki Kitsune | Hiiro no Kakera

Osaki Kitsune or O-Chan is a fox spirit the main character receives. It can be named by the player. Travels in the main character's shadow and comes out at her calling. Likes curling up and sleeping in warm places.

Kotaro is uniquely cute and perfect for kitsune(fox) image. (´・ω・`)Good choice!^.^v

Tae Shimura | Gin Tama

Tae Shimura is Shinpachi's older sister. She runs the Kakidōkan Dojo, which was her father's failing dojo, with her brother.

Despite her sweet face, she is one of the most violent characters in Gintama (and arguably strong too). She often displays her trademark sweet-looking smile with her eyes closed before engaging in her violent activities(~.~). Her killer intent is so strong that on one occasion, a stare from her brings the entire Shinsengumi on their knees begging for mercy. Her weapon of choice seems to be a naginata, a Japanese spear.

Saburo Kujo | Zone-00

Seventh Post!!yeah!^o^/

Saburo Kujo is an average 8th grade student at Sunginami Ward Middle School. For some reason he's named Saburo (a name usually given to third sons) even though he's an only child. He's on the soccer team, and his Johnny Agency looks make him popular with the ladies.

His hobbies include playing tag and hide and seek (^.^)'. He's also popular with the guys--it's just the way he is. He was having an ordinary sort of adolescence until one day he got his head chopped off and Kiyoami's powers came to life inside him.

Yagyu Kyubei | Gin Tama


Which character version was he played?
I just know Kyubei in her boyish costume...She is so lovely lady.^^

Kyubei is an aristocratic young lady who was brought up as a male in order to succeed her family's clan. She dresses and behaves like a boy due to her upbringing, but occasionally shows her more feminine side, and appears to be interested in clothing in the gothic lolita style.

Konjiki no Yami | To Love Ru

Golden Darkness by Arisa, sweet as usual. Her costume is exactly same with the original anime but(i don't know why) her contact lenses should be maroon(check by yourself^^). her hairpieces need more craft attention.

She is a dispassionate, withdrawn assassin, Golden Darkness is hired by one of Lala's arranged suitors, Lacospo to kill Rito, until she breaks the contract, noting the true nature behind her target.

Golden Darkness' physical abilities are exponentially stronger than a human's. She carries a unique ability to turn her body parts into various objects through use of nano machines circulating her body, ranging from swords to dragon heads. Unfortunately, excessive use becomes a hazard to her health.

NaruSasu | Naruto

actually, I didn't like Naruto too much(they're EverywHere, like Haruhi!!!)(>.<)
but this picture looks good. (^ω^)

simply concept behind cosplay photography will make them better.

Silver Samurai Gintoki | Gin Tama

Fiuh~~!(*´∀`*)
Yesterday, my notebook has lost internet connection in network..I had just fix it..

ok!the next post is Kuryu(CN) for Gintoki from Gin Tama. 

a former samurai living in an era where Aliens known as the Amanto have come to Earth, and the Samurai have been defeated. In another Newtype poll from March 2010, Gintoki was voted as the eighth most popular male anime character from the 2000s. Bloody Samurai, good enough~love his hair. *^^*

Hone Onna | Jigoku Shōjo

Ai's first companion lady. Always dressed in kimono with obi tied in front. She is the red straw doll.

The name Hone Onna comes from the legendary creature of the same name, literally meaning bone woman, which reflects her ability to expose the bones in her body to scare the victims of the revenge Ai delivers. 

It 's revealed that she had been a geisha named Tsuyu who was betrayed by a man whom she had fallen in love with after he sold her to a brothel to be able to pay off his own debts. Tsuyu was betrayed again when she attempted to arrange the escape of a fellow geisha named Kiyo with a man who had come to truly love Tsuyu. 

Tsuyu and the man were later murdered by a Yakuza, and that same Yakuza cast Tsuyu into a river afterward. Spirits rising from human bones thrown into the river before merged with Tsuyu's restless spirit, transforming Tsuyu into the yōkai Hone Onna, in which form she later met Enma Ai. 


Hone lives out her life as a human after Ai dies at the end of the second season.

Okino Mayoko | Zone-00

at the first day of new year, Kimono is a good choice for every special event. so, 10 daily post themes for this turn is Kimono(and all variant)^.^
First post, Okino Mayoko by Kotaro. 


Her yellow contact lenses make eerie effect, and that's cool! somebody know who she is? 

She's actually a witch who's been watching over western Japan for a very long time, and now certain events have made her come to Tokyo. When she gets bored(easily), she forces her pet cat, Koban to do all the busy work...poor cat~.~miaw

Shindou hikaru and Sai | Hikaru no Go

Hikaru no Go is a manga series, a coming of age story based on the board game Go written by Yumi Hotta and illustrated by Takeshi Obata with an anime adaptation.

The same basic storyline is followed by the manga and anime, with a few small changes between the versions. While exploring his grandfather's shed, Hikaru stumbles across a Go board haunted by the spirit of Fujiwara-no-Sai, a fictional Go player from the Heian era. Sai wishes to play Go again, having not been able to since the late Edo period, when his ghost appeared to Honinbō Shūsaku, an actual Go player of that period. Sai's greatest desire is to attain the Kami-no-Itte "Divine Move", or the "Hand of God" – a perfect game. Because Hikaru is apparently the only person who can perceive him, Sai inhabits a part of Hikaru's mind as a separate personality, coexisting, although not always comfortably, with the child.
This is a good example of cosplay for Shindou Hikaru. Not too cute like other crossdressing, although too much pretty for Sai. Was found from Faya's gallery.

Sheryl Nome | Macross Frontier


Known as the "Galactic Fairy", Sheryl Nome is a pop idol from Macross Galaxy fleet who constantly tops music charts, leading people to say that it was impossible not to hear her songs if you lived in this galaxy. As such, her popularity was soaring just as high in the Galaxy's sister fleet, Macross Frontier.

Due to her beauty and singing talent, she is a very proud and self-assured person. Sheryl recognizes the singing talent of Ranka Lee and often offers to help her 'behind the scenes' to realize her dream of singing. Sheryl's first encounter with Alto Saotome occurs when he serves as a backup 'performer' at her first concert in Frontier.

Bodacious photo from Tasha's collection. I do not know if he ever wear a kimono as a stage costume (I had never watched Macross Frontier).
