Chobits: Chi 08
As a Chobit, Chi is highly advanced compared to other persocoms. She has the ability to read data from other persocoms without opening a direct channel with them. When Chi accidentally wore Omura Yumi's Chiroru uniform, she became upset and ran away in tears. The bakery's manager, Hiroyasu Ueda, then asked Chi to call Yumi's phone (which is a small persocom) in order to find out where she went; however, Chi was actually able to locate Yumi without calling her persocom.
Final Fantasy X-2: Yuna and Tidus
Two years after the events that occured in Final Fantasy X, Yuna becomes a prominently featured gunner who journeys to Spira to find the truth, and to see Tidus once again. Now 19, she is significantly more confident and outgoing, but also tends to be quite nostalgic. The fayth is her key to finding Tidus, who is the only one able to locate Tidus' scattered pyreflies and reform.
So cute! It seems kids can beat professional cosplayers any day. Thanks to Manuel for sending this in!
Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Len
The most popular Vocaloid, Hatsune Miku, is accompanied by a rather grown-up looking version of Kagamine Rin's "twin", Kagamine Len. It makes you wonder if Kaito will get jealous over this picture.
Then again, Len and Rin are supposedly "one and the same", aren't they? Where in the world could Rin be?
Loveless: Sagan Youji and Sagan Natsuo 02
Created by an easily angered woman named Sagan Nagisa, Youji and Natsuo are known as the 2nd generation of Zero fighters... that is, a fighting pair that cannot feel any pain. You might think this will give them an advantage when it comes to spell battles, but Soubi was able to prove otherwise.
Cute cosplay! I had to crop the original image again to focus more on the cosplayers. Thanks to Deborah and KCC Studio for sending this in!

Vampire Knight: Ichijou Takuma 02
A close friend of Shiki Senri and Touya Rima, Ichijou's grandfather allowed him to enter Cross academy so that he could spy on the pure blood, Kuran Kaname. Ichijou refused to follow his grandfather's orders out of loyalty, but when Kuran Rido possessed Shiki, he was forced to go against Kaname in order to protect his friends. He returns to Kaname's side once Shiki was freed, going so far as challenging his own grandfather to put an end to the Ichijou line.
Deviant Cosplayer *ac024, also known as Chen Mei Yi, makes a beautiful Ichijou. Thank you for sharing this with us! And we are most certainly looking forward to more of your cosplays soon!
Nana: Osaki Nana
The tough looking punk rocker with a kind heart, Nana Osaki is the vocalist of the band called Black Stones, which is also known as Blast. Raised by her grandmother after being abandoned by her parents, Nana was expelled from high school after being falsely accused of prostitution. These hardships may have led to her dark and possessive behavior, going so far as to hooking up Komatsu Nana with her guitarist, Terashima Nobuo so that she could keep Komatsu Nana by her side.
Impressive cosplay! I've never seen the series, but I do love the way she customized her eyepatch with chains instead of elastic. Thanks to Miguel for sending this in!
Hetalia: Axis Powers: Italy Romano and Italy Veneziano
I bet people guessed this was coming...
Winter Comiket's flood of cosplays are not over yet! There are several more photos sent to that were impressive and cute, but I have no idea who they are cosplaying!
Take these two for example. Pure white clothing and they are holding what appears to be... apples. tomatoes! Could they be cosplaying twin characters? Or is the same character cosplayed by two people?
Take a guess and let me know! And yes, posting links for unknown entries as references is completely acceptable, but those who want to contribute, please be sure to email them instead in kurohiko at gmail dot com. Otherwise, comments with links in other posts will be deleted. Thank you for understanding!
Sekirei: Musubi
I have no idea who this one is either, but she's from Winter Comiket 2009, and she looks like a fighter to me. Maybe she's from a game I haven't played yet?
I have to admit though, her costume is really cute. I love the ribbon details on her outfit. Who knew you could string the ribbons on your stockings?
Guesses are definitely welcome! Oh, and in case you're wondering why I don't reply to emails lately, it's because I have too many contributions coming in! I will try to feature them all, so please be patient with me! Thank you for all the beautiful photos! Keep sending, and keep a look out for new posts on Cosplay Holic!

YUNA from FINAL FANTASY SEXY COSPLAY
Yuna (ユウナ Yūna?) is a fictional character in the Final Fantasy series. She is the female protagonist of Final Fantasy X and the main protagonist of the sequel Final Fantasy X-2. She was designed by Enzo and voiced by Hedy Burress and Mayuko Aoki in the English and Japanese versions, respectively. In Final Fantasy X, she is the daughter of the High Summoner Braska, and seeks to becoming a High Summoner herself, with the help of Wakka and Lulu. She eventually meets up with protagonist Tidus. Due to the fan reaction for Yuna, the developers sought to create Final Fantasy X-2, starring her.
She has received mixed reactions for her role in both Final Fantasy X and X-2. She ranked 10th on IGN's top 25 Final Fantasy characters list. After appearing in a conservative, long dress in Final Fantasy X, the designers changed her outfit to a more revealing one to reflect the more carefree world of Final Fantasy X-2. This was met with both praise and criticism. She has also appeared in the form of several different pieces of merchandise, including a CD entitled "Final Fantasy X-2 Vocal Collections", featuring songs performed by Mayuko Aoki.
Nata a Bevelle e cresciuta sull'isola di Besaid, all'inizio di Final Fantasy X Yuna è una ragazza di 17 anni che indossa abiti convenzionali (l'opposto di quelli di Tidus). Yuna è un'invocatrice di Yevon con l'abilità di invocare potenti creature conosciute come "Eoni" e questo ruolo può essere scelto per compiere un pellegrinaggio per salvare il popolo di Spira da una potente entità distruttiva chiamata Sin per far giungere un periodo di pace chiamato Bonacciale, come fece suo padre Braska dieci anni prima. Yuna è una persona diversa in Final Fantasy X-2. Decide di cominciare un viaggio per cercare Tidus, che pensava di aver perso per sempre. È doppiata da Hedy Burress nelle versioni europea e americana dei giochi, e da Mayuko Aoki in quella giapponese. Yuna è metà umana e metà Albhed. Suo padre, l'invocatore Braska, era un umano ma sua madre era Albhed (sorella di Cid e zia di Rikku). Questa diversa etnia si può verificare nel colore dei suoi occhi: verde quello destro e azzurro quello sinistro.

STEAMPUNK SEXY COSPLAY
What is Seampunk? We can say that is the cyberpunk of the Victorian Age :)
Well, steampunk's women seem good...dont'you think?
Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction, alternate history, and speculative fiction that came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s.[1] Specifically, steampunk involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of steampunk often feature anachronistic technology or futuristic innovations as Victorians may have envisioned them; in other words, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, art, etc. This technology may include such fictional machines as those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne or real technologies like the computer but developed earlier in an alternate history.
Lo steampunk è un filone della narrativa fantastica-fantascientifica che introduce una tecnologia anacronistica all'interno di un'ambientazione storica, spesso l'Ottocento e in particolare la Londra vittoriana dei libri di Conan Doyle e H. G. Wells. Le storie steampunk descrivono un mondo anacronistico - a volte una vera e propria ucronia - in cui armi e strumentazioni vengono azionate dalla forza motrice del vapore (steam in inglese) anziché dall'energia elettrica; dove i computer sono completamente analogici, o enormi apparati magnetici sono in grado di modificare l'orbita lunare. Un modo per descrivere l'atmosfera steampunk è riassunto nello slogan "come sarebbe stato il passato se il futuro fosse accaduto prima"

Card Captor Sakura: Li Syaoran, Daidouji Tomoyo, and Kinomoto Sakura
When Sakura opened the book of the Clow Cards, she accidentally unseals the cards and its guardian, Cerberus, says it is now her responsibility to retrieve the cards once more. Her best friend, Tomoyo, films her adventures and provides her with special clothes she designed for each exploit.
Not long after, a rival appears before her; Li Syaoran, a descendent of Clow Reed, creator of the Clow Cards and their guardians, Kero and Yue. And now they must compete to see who is truly worthy of becoming the Master of the Clow Cards.
Cute cosplay! I believe that Sakura may be the same Sakura I featured last year? Thanks to KLineFeild for sharing this with us!
Hermione Granger sexy cosplay from Harry Potter
Hermione Granger sexy cosplay from Harry Potter |
Hermione Jean Granger is a fictional character and one of the three protagonists (the other two being Harry Potter and Ron Weasley) in J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. She initially appears in the first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, as a new student on her way to Hogwarts. After being saved in the girls' bathroom from a mountain troll by Harry and Ron, she becomes close friends with them and often uses her quick wit and encyclopaedic knowledge to help them. Rowling has stated that Hermione resembles her at a younger age, with her insecurity and fear of failure.
Hermione Jane Granger è uno dei personaggi principali della saga di Harry Potter, scritta da J. K. Rowling fra gli anni novanta e gli anni duemila. Nella versione cinematografica il personaggio è interpretato da Emma Watson che, nelle edizioni italiane della saga, è doppiata da Letizia Ciampa. La Watson, contrariamente al personaggio che interpreta, è più giovane dei colleghi Daniel Radcliffe e Rupert Grint, mentre Hermione dovrebbe essere più anziana di Ronald Weasley e di Harry Potter.

Kuroshitsuji: Doll
The beautiful and enigmatic tightrope walker, Doll is among the First Tier performers of the Noah's Ark Circus. Although the First Tier have special tents set up for them, she pretends to be a new male member known as "Sobakasu" or Freckles, as she doesn't like sleeping alone. She later attempts to take Ciel's life for killing her circus family, but fails to do so thanks to Sebastian. Her fate after that is left undetermined.
Cosplayer ClamWings makes a beautiful Doll! I love all the details in her costume. Thanks to Itoshi for sending this in!
Gintama: Takasugi Shinsuke
One of the main antagonists of the series, Shinsuke was a former comrade of Sakata Gintoki's and Katsura Kotaru's during the Amanto invasion. He gained a fearsome reputation for assassinating many of the Bakufu's main officers. He was also planning a large-scale coup d'état, but vanished after the war ended. Now, he leads Kiheitai, a radical Joi faction and is in the Shinsengumi's list of worst criminals.
Very convincing cosplay! Although the photo is a little dark, we can still see his signature colorful kimono. I love that creepy look he's giving the audience. Thanks to Vento for emailing this!
EDIT: Thanks to Nocturne for letting me know that the cosplayer is Lithium Flower from Deviant Art!
Loveless: Sagan Nagisa and Minami Ritsu
The creator of the 2nd Generation Zero Pair, Nagisa has a strange relationship with Soubi's teacher, Ritsu. Although she tries her best to make it look as if she loathes his very existence, she blushes whenever Ritsu is near her, and even more so when he accidentally touches her. Although both have previously denied the affiliation with Nana no Tsuki or Septimal Moon, it is later revealed in the manga they are among the original members of the group.
Cute and daring cosplay! I've been looking for other characters from the series for a while. Ritsu really creeps me out though. Thanks to Harriet for sending this! And he knows Nagisa is cosplayed by Rippie, but does anyone know who the other cosplayer is?
EDIT: Welcome to Cosplay Holic, Rippie!
Bleach: Soi Fon
Born to be known as Shaolin Fon, Soi Fon is the captain of the 2nd Division, replacing Shihoin Yoruichi, her former captain who abandoned her post to aid Urahara Kisuke in leaving Soul Society. As she served Yoruichi as a bodyguard and eventually becomes her protege, Soi Fon felt abandoned that Yoruichi did not take her during the escape. It takes a century before she sees her former captain once more, challenging her in battle in order to ask the questions left unanswered.
Beautiful and very daring cosplay! She looks so convincingly like Soi Fon that it feels like she jumped out of the manga! Thanks to Ana for sending this in!
Nana: Okazaki Shinichi
The bass player of Blast, Shin left his home and abandoned his original family name because of his dysfunctional family. He is in love with Trapnest's vocalist, Serizawa Reira, but because Trapnest is his band's rival, Shin had to moonlight as a male prostitute with Reira as one of his clients. He is an expert in mahjong, and is shown to become an actor in the future.
Great cosplay! And that earring... is really connected to his lip? I was told this is one of Shin's signature looks. Thanks to Miguel for sending this in!
Dragon Ball: Launch
I feel like she's glaring at me for not knowing who she's cosplaying as... A glare with a pout combination from a cute girl can be quite deadly to die hard otakus as far as I know.
And I know that I've seen here somewhere before, but it's at the tip of my brain! So if anyone recognizes this blonde, female character with a huge, red bow on her hair, please feel free to leave a comment and let me know! Links to references are welcome!
EDIT: Thanks to Sheik-chan for letting us know this is Launch from Dragon Ball!
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Tifa Lockhart 04
When Tifa accompanied Marlene to visit Aerith's church in Midgar, they get an unexpected visitor, Loz, who is in search of Jenova's remains. After his confrontation with Tifa, he receives instructions from his cell phone to capture Marlene, thinking she is one of the children infected with Geostigma, and take them to the Forgotten City. Tifa then joins Cloud to stop Kadaj, Yazoo, and Loz from reviving Sephiroth.
Mei Wai is certainly fit for the role of Tifa Lockhart. Wonderful job on Tifa's infamous battle pose! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Vocaloid Cosplay PV: Melt
I can't believe how cute this video is! Please check it out, you won't be disappointed!

Codename: Sailor V: Sailor V
When Aino Minako encounters a talking white cat with a crescent moon on his forehead, she didn't realize she would soon say goodbye to her mundane life as a 13-year-old middle school student to fulfill her mission to protect the earth.
The series Sailor Moon is actually the sequel to Codename Sailor V. It's somehow sad that Minako is considered Usagi's knock-off when when Usagi was really partly based on Minako.
Guess you can't win them all. Thanks to FreedomForce for sending this in!
Durarara!!: Orihara Izaya
A master of parkour and very skilled with a flickblade, Izaya is a young man who enjoys torturing everyone and then observing their reactions because he "loves" the human race. He also enjoys giving Heiwajima Shizuo a hard time; such as having local gangs attack him framing him for crimes he didn't commit. Izaya's name is based on the biblical Isaiah and means "the one who looks over the crowd" in Japanese.
Cosplayer 香吏 (Kaori Ri) makes a convincingly great Izaya! I love how classy Izara is portrayed here. Character requested by Amelia!
Yu-Gi-Oh!: Dark Magician Girl 02
While significantly weaker than the Dark Magician himself, the Dark Magician Girl gains attack points for every Dark Magician or Magician of Black Chaos sent to the Graveyard, whether it is the player's or his opponent's. She starts out with a 2000 attack point and 1700 defense point.
I'm guessing Eric Liao is the photographer behind this beautifully snapped shot, though I'm having a hard time finding his website. Thanks to Yoshite for sending this in!
Kuroshitsuji: Drocell Cainz
A character who only appeared in the anime adaptation, Drocell Cainz used the Hope Diamond in order to kidnap chosen girls and turn them into dolls. He lured Elizabeth Middleford, Ciel's cousin and fiance, with the lullaby "London Bridge" from his music box. Drocell claims to be human but later had "white stuff" falling from his ear suggesting that he too was a mere puppet controlled his master, who is still unknown at this point.
Cosplayer ~fxxkanddie R.D. makes a beautiful Drocell and it's the Visual Kei version too! Beautiful photography by *Fantastiqueist! Thanks for sharing this and Happy April Fools everyone!
Bleach: Ulquiorra Schiffer 03
One of the first Arrancar to be introduced, Ulquiorra Schiffer went to the Human World alongside Yammy Riyalgo with orders from Aizen Sosuke to seek out Kurosaki Ichigo. When
analyzed Ichigo's reiatsu and its growth potential, he concluded that Ichigo was of no threat to Aizen and left without killing him. Unfortunately, Ulquiorra will soon come to realize that his initially findings were dead wrong.
Another beautiful cosplay sent in by Ana! I love this character very much, but his demise left me speechless. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Guilty Gear: Baiken
During one of the Gears' attacks on the colonies, the young Baiken watched both her parents die before her and ended up losing her right arm and her left eye. However, it was during this chaos when she was able to witness the real culprit behind the attack, the Creator of the Gears. She then swore to hunt "that man" down and seek her vengeance.
Beautiful cosplay! I have never seen this character in the Guilty Gear games I played, but I heard the tatami mat was something of a signature move of hers? Thanks to Wilson for sending this in!
Dragon Ball Z: Son Goten
The second and final child of Son Goku and Chi Chi, Son Goten greatly resembles his father in appearance and seemingly likes wearing the same clothing as well. He is trained by his older brother, Son Gohan, for the 25th World Martial Arts Tournament and later discovers Goten had the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan despite his young age. Goten later learns the Fusion technique from his dad and Piccolo, which allows him and Trunks to become one powerful warrior known as Gotenks.
Awesome cosplay! Never thought anyone could get that hair right without looking too silly. Must have taken a lot of hair cement... Thanks to Timotei for sending this in!
