I'm a Bleach fan, obviously, having cosplayed two other characters from it already (Hanatarou and Kira - what three more opposite people can you get?), and I had gotten a bald cap at my old job. I put it on for some joke photos in the bathroom for a friend, and put those pictures on cosplay.com, and ... the response was amusing enough where I wanted to do it for real. Said friend also cosplays Yumechika, so DYNAMIC DUO. It was fun. The other Ikkaku was pretty awesome too, though I got to the gathering late AS IS THE RULE nowadays.
