Katekyo Hitman Reborn!: Chrome Dokuro and Hibari Kyoya

katekyo hitman reborn! cosplay - chrome dokuro and hibari kyoya by schoki and hibanatorWhen she was transferred into the future, Chrome’s physical condition became worse as her illusionary internal organs began failing one after the other. The adult Hibari Kyoya then instructed her to use the power of her Vongola Ring to sustain her organs through her own illusions. This allowed Chrome to escape any immediate danger, and thus prolonging her life.

Cosplayers Schoki and Hibanator make an excellent Chrome and Kyoya! I love the setting and Kyoya’s fierce attitude! Thanks to Itsuchi, their photographer as well as Miranda for the suggestion!

Unknown Entry 084

unknown cosplay 84 from comiket 2010If I were to take a wild guess (which I did), I’d say she was from Pink Sweets; the game I’m not entirely familiar with. However, after further searching, I was not able to come across any character from that series who resembles this cosplayer at all.

I’m just hoping my readers’ guesses turn out to be much better than mine. Thanks to Ikehara for suggesting this!

Gundam Seed Destiny: Cagalli Yula Athha 02

gundam seed destiny cosplay - caglli yula athha 02Although Cagalli knew the true nature of the Atlantic Federation, she was manipulated into endorsing an alliance between Earth Alliance and Orb by her fiancé, Yuna Roma Seiran and his father, Unato Ema Seiran. Her arranged marriage to Yuna would finalize this agreement, but her twin brother Kira decides to kidnap her in order to remind her of her late father’s ideals. Cagalli later assumes the bridge position in the Archangel previously held by Miriallia Haw.

Cute cosplayer! It’s been a while since I last saw this series, and even though I have some reservations, it still reminds me of some good memories. Thanks to Cain for suggesting this!

Umineko no Naku Koro ni: Beatrice

umineko no naku koro ni cosplay - beatrice

The series’ main antagonist, Beatrice is an Endless Witch who was once human; straying from the domain of mortals. Similar to demons, it is said that she appears when summoned and lends to that individual her power for a compensation of equivalent value. She has the ability to control Life and Death as well as repairing damaged objects if she so wishes.

Impressive cosplay! I really love her dress with all the laces, ribbons, and layers! Thanks to Orin for sending this!

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Panty and Stocking

panty & stocking with garterbelt cosplay - panty and stocking by tasha and tomiaWhen the Anarchy sisters, Panty and Stocking, were kicked out of heaven for bad behavior, they are sent to Daten City in order to collect Heaven Coins to regain entrance to Heaven. Panty is quite rude and aggressive, almost an exact opposite to Stocking who is generally more level-headed and intelligent. Panty does not take her Ghost-hunting duties as seriously as Stocking does, preferring other earthly pleasures before she returns to heaven.

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Suzumiya Haruhi 05

the melancholy of suzumiya haruhi cosplay - suzumiya haruhi 05 by mizuno shiroAlthough very little is revealed about Haruhi’s childhood, she mentioned a revelatory incident when she attended a baseball game with her family. While she regarded her life as special as a child, the sheer number of people in the stadium brings her to the realization that they fit into the normal, everyday occurrences and habits of Japanese citizens and humans in general. Haruhi believes that at least one person in the world would have a truly unique and interesting life, and she searched for the extraordinary in order to become that person.

Stunning cosplay by Mizuno Shiro! I really like this outfit for Haruhi, although I have no idea whether this actually appeared in the series or not. I know there’s a figure though… Thanks again to Yuna for sending this!

Angel Beats!: Shiina

Despite her serious demeanor, she has a weakness for cute things and can be very self-critical when she fails. She can sense danger coming and is a highly capable fighter.

Sailor Moon R: Moonlight Knight

sailor moon r cosplay - moonlight knight by raven

At the end of the first arc, everyone’s memories were hidden so that Tsukino Usagi’s wish to become a normal girl could be granted. Such was the case for Chiba Mamoru but he subconsciously still wanted to protect Usagi so strongly that his memories separated from him and reformed into the Moonlight Knight. Although Moonlight Knight can co-exist with Mamoru in the same space and time, Moonlight Knight rejoined Mamoru when he regained his memories and Moonlight Knight disappeared forever.

Impressive cosplay! I didn’t think there were still a lot of fans from this meta series, but seeing Raven cosplayed Moonlight Knight in Sakura Con 2010, I guess I was wrong. Thanks to Rachael Masako for sharing this!

Although she and Konata are often seen arguing, Kagami has a strong attachment to Konata and is almost always willing do favors for her.

No matter though… there are still several photos I have not been able to get to anyway! I need more time to write and research about more series and games!

I thought I could find out who this girl is, but I’ve gone through most of the girls in Street Fighter and came up empty. Perhaps my readers know who and where she’s from? Thanks again to Alex for suggesting this!

EDIT: Thanks to everyone for the flood of comments that this is Kanu Unchou from Ikkitousen! Now I'm wondering if I spelled her name right since there comments that say "Kanu" as well as "Kan'u"! Not to mention whether or not it's last name or first name for that matter.
