One Piece: Sanji and Nico Robin

With all the submissions I’ve received from Winter Comiket, I realize that I’m way behind on my anime and manga series.

Perhaps you guys can help me out with this one? I mean… I've seen a lot of bizarre anime series before, but what’s a chef and a cowgirl doing together?

I see a bunny girl and a Miku behind them... Haha! How terrible of me to know the ones in the background and not the foreground!

Steins;Gate: Makise Kurisu

MoeHaku 2010 paid host to a fair amount of official cosplayers to accompany the anime-themed cars, bicycles, motorcycles, and even a bus on display for public viewing.

And as usual, it appears my loyal readers are on top of things, as I have a mountain of cosplay photos from the event! Thanks a lot guys!

Unfortunately, one of the first photos that caught my eye was a character I am unfamiliar with. Anyone care to take a guess as to who this cute girl is? Thanks to 2chMod for sending this in!

Strawberry Panic!: Okuwaka Tsubomi

This is probably the last unknown cosplay for the year. Wow, how long has it been since I started writing about cosplays? It's so nostalgic now that I think about it.

Anyway, pink haired girl with a black headband in an expensive looking school uniform... She's really pretty, and this is another image by photographer MPZero. I think I'll need to have sections for photographers too someday, but I have so many tags already that people might think it's confusing...

So! Any guesses? Please leave comments on this entry if you know who the cosplayer is or who she is cosplaying as!

The Prince of Tennis: Niou Masaharu

There has been a steady stream of unknowns lately. I think I should get myself updated with the latest anime and games.

If only I had more time in my hands. But I guess that’s what they all say right?

Alright, we have a white haired bishounen this week! He could probably be anyone, but the design of his jacket might set him apart from everyone else. Any guesses would be appreciated, but I hope more people would leave their names this time when they comment! Even if you don’t have a website, you can just leave that field blank, and your name will still register in the name/url choice. Thank you to everyone who has been pointing me to the cosplayers’ websites!

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!

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!

Macross Frontier: Ranka Lee and Sheryl Nome

MoeHaku certainly has a lot of great looking cosplays.

I could be wrong, but I think these two are probably from Macross Frontier; Ranka Lee and Sheryl Nome respectively, minus the anime-colored hair. Since I'm not entirely sure, I decided to put them in the Unknown Section for now and see what you guys think.

Thanks to Macabre-hime for sending this in!

Gundam ZZ: Elpeo Puru

It looks like a new flood of cosplays from Winter Comiket 2010 will be taking up a lot of feature space in Cosplay Holic once again! And of course, as far as Comiket goes, there are also a lot of new characters that I can’t identify, so I’ll be seeking help from my readers once again!

This cute girl caught my attention immediately, so I will let her do the honors of starting the features from this convention. Anyone have an idea who she could be? Thanks to Alex for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to Genevieve for letting me know this is Elpeo Puru from Gundam ZZ!

Ikkitousen: Kanu Unchou

It appears that some of the cosplays from Comiket 2010 (78) have been mixed up with the ones from Winter Comiket 2010 (79). 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.

Fate/Extra: Caster

A fox or cat girl with a paper talisman? That can’t be right… aren’t talismans supposed to banish non-humans and creatures of the night?

Then again, it could be Megurine Luka cosplaying for her music video.

Whatever the story is behind this cosplay, I’d like to know about it. Thanks again to Pitaten for sending this!

Bakemonogatari: Hachikuji Mayoi

I hope she's not a real school girl who got lost and ended up in Comiket or something like that.

She actually reminds me of Chibi Usa from Sailor Moon. I think she first appeared in the second season and she attended school during that time. This can’t be her though, because Chibi Usa’s hair is pink!

Anyone know what series she’s from? Thanks to Pitaten for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to kawainu for letting me know she's Hachikuji Mayoi from Bakemonogatari!

Fresh Pretty Cure!: Eas

For the second entry of the day and to further add to my depression, I have another girl who looks like she could be a character from a fighting game or fantasy manga. This is a double post for contributor, Ingrid, since she’s sent me so much material lately that I can’t keep up!

I’m only sorry I could help you identify her, Ingrid, but I hope my readers will be able to! Thanks in advance, everyone!

EDIT: Thanks to Yulius for letting me know this is Eas from Fresh Pretty Cure and to Syaza for confirming it!

Ar tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica: Luca Trulyworth

It's beginning to become very depressing that I have so many unknown cosplays in Cosplay Holic. Maybe I should fly to Japan and stay there for a while to get myself up-to-date.

Anyway! I’m sure you can tell from all the details that the cosplayer worked really hard on her costume for Comiket 2010. I wonder if she’s from a fighting game or a fantasy manga? Thanks again to Ingrid for the photo!

Mayoi Neko Overrun!: Serizawa Fumino

When I first saw this in my inbox, it made me think of Toradora!’s Aisaka Taiga. She has blond hair, and the same tsundere attitude just like Taiga, but I don’t think they ever had uniforms like this in the series.

Does anyone have a better idea? Thanks to Bonamana for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to kawainu for commenting she's Serizawa Fumino from Mayoi Neko Overrun!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Belarus

Now her I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere before. I just can’t seem to figure out where exactly that is.

She looks like a character that stepped out of a vampire novel or even a fighting game. Black gloves seem to be fairly uncommon to go with a French Maid uniform after all, but the blue ribbon with the blond wig make me think of Alice.

Anyone have a better idea? Thanks again to Zero Haven for the contribution!

Demonbane: Another Blood

I'm beginning to feel ashamed about my inability to distinguish the characters these cosplayers are role playing as…

Unless this is Megurine Luka from Vocaloid 2 wearing a red dress, then your guess is as good as mine. Please leave comments and hopefully, we’ll figure this out too!

Thanks again to Yula for the contribution!

Kaicho wa Maid-sama!: Ayuzawa Misaki

I suppose getting Maid Cafes to promote their shops in a convention is common practice in Japan. But I still wish they had flyers or IDs with them so that we would know where to go too!

Then again, maybe she really is cosplaying from a series that I’m not familiar with. Please do leave a comment and let me know! Thanks to William for the photo!

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who commented saying she's Ayuzawa Misaki from Kaicho wa Maid-sama!

Zero no Tsukaima: Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière

Dare I say she is from the Harry Potter series? She looks distinctly like a pink haired Hermione Granger, but I do not see a Hogwarts’ badge or scarf anywhere. And besides, when did Hermione ever change her hair color?

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Houjou Satoko

This girl I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere before. Maybe not the cosplayer, but definitely the character, but I can’t seem to think of which series she belongs to at the moment.

Guess I’ll have to rely on my Cosplay Holic readers to give me the answer this time. Anyone care to point me in the right direction? Thanks to Gilbert for sending this in!
