Ouran High School Host Club: Haninozuka Mitsukuni

Haninozuka Mitsukuni, nicknamed "Hani", "Honey", or "Hunny" is a 17-year-old student of Ouran High School, even though he looks as if he belongs in the elementary school department. He is childish, loves sweets, and has a room full of stuffed animals. He often carries a stuffed bunny with him called “Usa-chan” in the anime and “Bun-Bun” in the manga.

Cute cosplayer from Melbourne Anime Festival 2009! And such a cute stuffed bunny too! I love the pink sneakers the cosplayer is wearing! Thanks again to Bethany for sending this in!

Air Gear: Wanijima Akito/Agito 03

Physically weak due to his short and thin stature, Akito/Agito is a powerful AT user because of his motivation, willpower, and pride. Akito, the innocent and non-violent personality, has been acting as Agito’s tuner until recently. Because Akito could not fully hear his own biorhythm, he could only keep his other half’s AT and Regalia barely operational. It was not until Nakayama Yayoi tuned him that Fang Regalia became complete.

Impressive cosplay, and with real rollerblades too! It looks like the cosplayer is wearing an anime convention’s ID, but I wonder which? Thanks to Omi for sending this in!

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior: Chun-Li

An ordinary girl who lost her father to Shadaloo, Chun-Li entered Street Fighter II's tournament in order to seek its founder and Shadaloo's Leader, M. Bison. Her Mandarin name is 春 meaning “Spring” and 麗 meaning “Beautiful”. These characters were chosen for her as she is a “single, young girl filled with the beauty of Spring”. Once she had achieved her revenge, she was given the choice to continue her work as a police officer or to return to her life as an ordinary girl.

Beautiful Chun-Li! Those spike bracelets of hers look very heavy… I hope she didn’t have a hard time carrying them around. Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this!

OS-Tan: Windows ME 02

While Windows ME is a very hard worker, she often fails in anything she tries to do, resulting in system crashes that require the user to execute the dreaded “Ctrl+Alt+Del”. Whenever she isn’t frozen or out of control, she tends to do things that lack common sense such as defending herself by swinging a leek. The leek was added to her design as a pun; there is a firewall program called “NEGiES” is pronounced “Negi” which can mean “leek” in Japanese.

Cute Windows ME cosplayer! I’ve always used Windows 2000 before jumping to XP for my operating system I never got to experience these system crashes… not that I’d ever want to! Thanks to Rie for sending these in!

Slam Dunk: Rukawa Kaede

Attractive, skilled, but often considered to be cold, Rukawa Kaede is the Super-Rookie of Shohoku High School’s Basketball Team. Even though he is only a first-year high school player, he has the height, athleticism, and drive that makes him the undisputed ace of the team. He plays Small Forward, and when he’s not playing on the court, he is often seen sleeping; even when riding his bicycle.

I didn’t think anyone would have a cosplay photo from this series! It’s one of the classics that changed a lot of people’s perspective to Japanese animation. Thanks to Fumiki for sending this in!

Soul Eater: Death the Kid

Son of Shinigami and Meister of the Thompson sisters, Death the Kid has a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder for symmetry. He breaks down upon seeing anything that is unbalanced even by the slightest measurement, sometimes to the point of vomiting blood and collapsing. He chose to wield the Thompson sisters as twin guns to preserve his personal symmetry.

Photographer Bethany contributed this photo from Melbourne Anime Festival 2009! I’m actually quite interested to know what the cosplayer did to paint the white stripes on his hair. I hope the cosplayer will eventually find my blog one day so that we’ll know! Thanks again, Bethany!

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: Zack Fair

Protagonist to the prequel of Final Fantasy VII, Zack Fair is a 2nd Class SOLDIER who worked as a subordinate under his close friend and mentor, Angeal Hewley. He was one of the people assigned to accompany Sephiroth and two grunts, one of which being Cloud Strife, on a mission of Nibelheim to find the cause of a Mako reactor malfunction. He was the original owner of Cloud’s trademark weapon, the Buster Sword.

Very impressive looking Zack and with a detailed Buster Sword! Though I’m a little bit puzzled by the shoes, but that’s a minor detail. Thanks to Karen for sending this in!
