Okay, so perhaps you've seen this stuff on facebook or tumblr or whatever, but it deserves posting here.
.gif shamelessly stolen from
amyused's tumblr. Yep, that's us last Sunday. Training. Or something.
Pictures by the wonderfully talented Ryuri-san, with random regulars' collaboration.
For once in my life I had the chance to play Tezuka (am I getting to that age where cosplaying Echizen isn't quite right?), with
willeke4439 as sweet Oishi and
amyused as burning Taka-san. And when I say burning I mean BURNING - handing her a racket every now and then was one of the highlights of the day.
Other participants include Mario-san as Echizen, Fukuda-san as a gorgeous Fuji, Den-san as Oishi's golden half, Azusa-san as Inui, Beverly as Momo, Simon-san as Kaidoh, Jill as Horio, and Rachel as Kachiro. Horio and Kachiro, guys. Horio and Kachiro.
It was AWESOME. Easily one of the most complete cosplay days I've enjoyed here in Japan until now... 8-D
