Character: Kanako Ohno
Series: Genshiken
Character Age: 18-19
Canon: Lock up your bearded and bald-headed cool guys, ladies and gentleman, Kanako Ohno is in town! A soft-spoken, big-breasted cosplay wonder, Ohno was the first female to voluntarily join the Genshiken (a college club for video game/manga/anime/etc fans aka otaku). With hobbies including cosplay, coercing others to cosplay, and older cool-guy type characters with scars, she's just your average female otaku. For the most part, Ohno is a polite, well-mannered and gentle girl, who sometimes leans a little on the shy side. However, whenever the subject of cosplay comes up, she can become very vocal, extremely competitive, and passionate. Ohno loves cosplay, why don't YOU? Her current "projects" include one Saki Kasukabe and one Chika Ogiue. Whether they want to or not, she will show them the light! And it will be good.
NOTE: In Genshiken, the titles of popular anime/manga/games are canonically changed slightly. An example would be "Slam Dunk" being referred to as "Scram Dunk".
Sample Post: I....I think Saki-san went a little too far this time. It's not like I did anything wrong, besides, she was fast asleep! All I did was put a pair of glasses on her from an old cosplay of mine. Next time I'll have to make sure to turn off the flash when I take the picture... I don't see what she got so upset about! With her sleeping expression and those glasses, she looked so moe. How could I resist?
Really though, sending me here was a little extreme I think. A 12-step program camp for cosplay addicts? There's nothing wrong with cosplay! It's an art form as well as a means of self-expression all rolled into one! What more could you want? I'm glad I brought my camera though. Looking around at all these other cosplayers...they're really good. Hmm, perhaps too good. However, I don't understand what kind of stage the director of this camp is trying to set with all these zombies and gorillas running around. How are we supposed to get into character with all this moaning and groaning and grunting and- well, on second thought, I guess the hentai cosplayers will appreciate it.
So many amazing likenesses. It's almost like I'm actually surrounded by my favorite characters! I'm glad I wore my costume here, I'd feel out of place if I were in street clothes when everyone else is in-....huh? That girl over there is cosplayed as Reika from Rantz too....Is her chest bigger than mine? N-no way! W-Well, her costume maybe spot on, but her portrayal is totally off!!!! Reika wouldn't run from a zombie horde like that! Not to mention her "Iyaaa!" is much too forced! When will people learn not to cosplay characters that they can't portray and make it seem natural?!
I'll show her how it's done. Hey! Zombie-san over there! Yes, you with the gaping face wound! Good work on the makeup job, by the way. You'll have to teach me the trick to mixing that perfect gangrene tone face paint later. I'm going to need your help with this performance. If you don't mind, could you come at me like you're going to bad touch me? Make it believable too, I've got to show that pretender how a REAL cosplayer does-
......Aa..I'd recognize the glare off that head anywhere! Excuse me, Zombie-san, I've got to go ask that Ikkaku cosplayer for his photograph while he's still got that perfect scowl going! It's always going? Even when he's out of costume? Now that's dedication!
