Welcome to the 12 Days of Cosplay

Written by RenegadeStar
Hi everyone! And welcome to Otakuden’s Twelve Day’s of Cosplay! During the next most amazing days leading up to Christmas, I will be giving you all examples of some of my personal favorites in the cosplay community. All of these cosplayers are outrageously talented and deserve a little time in the spotlight. So, without further ado, let’s begin! Add comment (0) Hits: 42

Day 11: Dia

We’re nearing the end of our Twelve Days. And so, I thought it would be a great time to point out the one of the two girls that will be representing our country in next years World Cosplay Summit. Dia is one of the finest cosplayers that I have seen. While being fashion student in New York, she still finds time to show off her amazing works loudly and proudly with one of the most stunning xxxHolic costumes I have ever seen. Therefore, I think this girl is very suitable for this countdown. After all, she and her partner Elizabeth are representing us in Japan. Woo USA! Add comment (0) Hits: 25

Day 12: Forrest J. Ackerman

And finally, we have reached the end. And I think there is no better way to end this countdown then with the man that started it all. Despite what most believe, cosplay did not originate in Japan, they only popularized it. But, the very first cosplayer was Forrest J. Ackerman. He attended the 1st World Science Fiction Convention in 1939, where he wore the first "futuristicostume" (designed and created by Myrtle R. Douglas), which sparked fan costuming. Most call him the ‘father of cosplay’, and sadly died earlier this month at the age of 92. Without him, who knows what this hobby would have been today. So, here’s to him. For without whom, we would have never had such a fantastic way of expressing ourselves. Add comment (0) Hits: 22

And that, my fellow fans, is the Twelve Days of Cosplay. I hope you enjoyed this look into the cosplay world at just who some of my top picks are. Don’t worry though, there will be plenty more about cosplay in the New Year. Conventions to cover, costume construction to talk about, and overall fun to be had. So, to everyone, have a safe and Happy Holiday Season! Add comment (0) Hits: 25
