Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Ryugu Rena

The main female protagonist of the question arcs, Rena is a kind girl who is also naïve and usually the subject of teasing by Maebara Keiichi. She loves all things she considers adorable calling them "kaii" which is actually "kawaii" only slurred. She also likes to take them home, and is virtually unstoppable when doing so. She also tends to utter the phrase "hau" when she is excited or flustered, and has a habit of repeating phrases at the ends of her sentences.

Beautiful Rena by Kipi! I wasn't sure which anime this was from, but Tama-chan was a big help with that! Thanks again for the contribution, Tama-chan!

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: Raiden

Traumatized by his break-up with Rosemary and the apparent miscarriage of his child, Raiden has become a cold-blooded, emotionless fighter. He has also been turned into a cyborg thanks to the The Patriot's machinations. He does not appear to care for Rose's life, nor his own for that matter, but assists Snake in various missions, often saving Snake's life.

Beautiful cosplay from Sweden's Uppcon 2009! Although Raiden does appear to be far more muscular in the game, the details the cosplayer put into this costume is astonishing! Thanks to Vea for the huge contribution of cosplays from Sweden!

One Piece: Eneru

The God of Skypiea, an island in the clouds above the Grand Line, Eneru takes his title literally, forcing his followers to worship and serve him. Eating the Rumble Rumble Fruit gave him the ability to manipulate, generate, and transform into electricity. Additionally, he is also able to use Mantra which allows him to predict anyone's movement and to sense anyone's position within a certain range.

Beautiful cosplay! Stellatvia, the photographer contributed this some time ago, but it got lost in my spam filter! I'm so sorry about that, Stellatvia!

Also! This was taken in Germany's Connichi either in 2006 or 2009. I hope someone can identify this cosplayer so I can give proper credit!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know this is raubkruemel from Germany!

Gurren Lagann: Yoko Littner 03

A young girl from Giha's neighboring village of Littner, Yoko uses her outstanding soldiering skills and wise counsel to advance the war of liberation. She is also very skilled in wielding an extensive arsenal of weapons. Due to her looks and possibly her choice of clothing, she attracts several characters including Simon and Kamina; the later of which she has feelings for.

Beautiful Yoko cosplayer from MoeHaku 2010! I hope she wasn't too cold in her outfit. Thanks to Lumines for the contribution!

Unknown Entry 048

This is a school girl cosplay from MoeHaku 2010, and I think it would be awesome if she was just a regular girl browsing around in the event, wouldn't it?

Until I can confirm that though, I'm putting her in the Unknown Section. There's a school emblem on her jacket; maybe people from Japan can tell me what school it's from at least?

Thanks to Fanimae for sending this in!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Miku 08

I must apologize for the flood of Miku/Vocaloid Cosplays lately, but it seems to be the trend these days.

I'm guessing she is also from "World is Mine" version like the Miku from Winter Comiket 2009, but I am definitely not a Miku expert. I love the car details and if you look closely, there is a chibi Miku on the dashboard, which looks like the winter version too. Thanks again to Riffonliner for the photo!

Shakugan no Shana: Shana 04

As a devoted Flame Haze, Shana is torn between her mission to protect the balance and her love for Sakai Yuji, a Torch who has a rare status of Mystes. At the ending of the first season of the anime series, Shana made a difficult decision which led Yuji to distance himself from her. However, Yuji comes to realize that he was wrong and that they both really do care for one another, restoring their relationship.

The second Shana cosplayer of MoeHaku 2010! And she's in Shana's winter uniform! I think I actually like this uniform better than the summer one. Thanks again to 2chMod for sending this in!
