Kingdom Hearts: Riku 02

Cool and collected, Riku and his best friends Sora and Kairi live on the Destiny Islands and spend their days constructing a raft and gathering supplies so that they might one day set out and search for other worlds. He is rivals with Sora, competing at almost anything they can think of. Despite the fact that their rivalry is of good intentions, Riku is known to irritate Sora by being a sore loser and being very pushy involving their fight over Kairi.

This photo gives me the sense of being “reborn” into the world, which is exactly what it feels like when celebrating and welcoming the new year. Excellent work as usual by Kashino Rei! Many thanks to Pena for suggesting this! Happy New Year everyone!

Star Ocean 4: Arumat P. Thanatos

An Eldarian warrior blessed with extraordinary fighting ability, even by Eldarian standards, Arumat is unfortunately ill with an incurable disease. His muscle cells are breaking down, which has forced him to choose between giving up his current body or dying and early death. Now 26, he chose to live out the rest of his life for redemption of the lives of the men he lost along the way. He was only 17 when his entire troop was destroyed after a battle with the phantoms, leaving him as the sole survivor of the attack.

Cosplayer Kashino Rei, who is the same cosplayer behind Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle's Sakura cosplay contacted me to correct the info I posted about her previous cosplay. Not surprising, she has a lot of great cosplays in her Deviant Art account, and this is one of my favorites. Thanks also to her photographer, Christoph Gerlach for the awesome photography!
