Yaoi-Con 2008 | A Celebration of Male Beauty & Passion in Anime & Manga

I've got a few cosplay questions I'd like to drill you on.

1. When did you cosplay for the first time?
2. What con was it at?
3. Who were you cosplaying as?
4. What all characters have you cosplayed as?
5. What costume got you the most reactions?
6. What's your favorite costume/costumes that you've worn?

1. 2004
2. Anime Expo '04
3. Yugi Motou (Yu-Gi-Oh!)
4. Yugi Motou (two different outfits), Aoyagi Ritsuka (Loveless), Uchiha Itachi (Naruto), Kiba (Wolf's Rain), plus a couple of no particular character (Neko ninja, schoolgirl kitty). Will have Konoe (Lamento), Itsuki Iba (Rental Magica) and Maito (Silver Chaos) added to that by September.
5. Yugi Motou (though AX was by far the largest convention I've been to, so it's perhaps an unfair comparison)
6. Yugi Motou - it was my first one, it's earned more pics and compliments than any others, and was just so much fun and helped me break the ice with so many people.

1. 2005
2. Fanime Con
3. Kakashi Hatake from Naruto
4. Kakashi Hatake (Naruto), generic ANBU (Naruto), Renji Abarai (Bleach), Byakuya Kuchiki (Bleach), Ulquiorra Schiffer (Bleach), BANKAI! Renji Abarai & Hihio Zabimaru (Bleach)
5. probably a tie between Ulquiorra and BANKAI! Renji. Ulquiorra gets a lot of people turning heads cause of the contacts i got for it XD and BANKAI! Renji & Zabimaru gets a lot of attention cause its rarely done (and Zabimaru is huge and hard to miss XD).
6. either variation of Renji, only cause he's like my uber favorite in Bleach and i try really hard to do the costumes justice. i like doing Ulquiorra though cause the contacts are fun to wear

1. When did you cosplay for the first time? 2001
2. What con was it at? Sakura Con
3. Who were you cosplaying as? Dagger from Final Fantasy IX.
4. What all characters have you cosplayed as? Too many to list.
5. What costume got you the most reactions? Thus far? A tie between Azel from 'Magna Carta: Crimson Stigmata' and Fai from 'Tsubasa Chronicles'.
6. What's your favorite costume/costumes that you've worn? Shiki from 'Togainu no Chi'. :3

1. 2004
2. Anime Overdose '03 (now known as Animation on Display)
3. Seto Kaiba (Battle City version)
4. Colonel Roy Mustang (FMA), Seto Kaiba (YuGiOh: Duel Monsters, Battle City arc), Assassin (Ragnarok Online), Kurogane (Tsubasa Chronicle), Kyon (Haruhi Suzumiya), Shinji Ikari (Evangelion)
5. Colonel Roy Mustang - I got reaction from my Seto cosplay because not a lot of people cosplay YuGiOh these days but Roy gets the most. Most of them tend to be on how well made it was and sometimes where I bought it which is just flattering since it was all made by a friend and me.
6. Roy Mustang has to be my favorite. It was the first complex and really good cosplay I've made and it was what got me a lot of firsts. This includes my start as a YCon Bishie :3

1. When did you cosplay for the first time?
Errr, if you count non-anime, that would be...1990ish? First anime was AWA 3 in 1998...

2. What con was it at?
A Vulkon here in Florida.

3. Who were you cosplaying as?
Random Star Trek: TNG officer, followed by Catwoman. Anime was Nuriko from FY.

4. What all characters have you cosplayed as?
Oh, Sweet Jesus. That would take up way too much space...I haven't even updated Cosplaylab in years...

5. What costume got you the most reactions?
Sesshoumaru, probably.

6. What's your favorite costume/costumes that you've worn?
I've enjoyed Marius from Vampire Chronicles, Rufus, Raphael, Sesshou, and Seishirou the most, probably.
