Technically debuted at Anime Expo 2006, when I cosplayed as Haruhi from the first scene of the OP, with ribbon, danchou armband, and SOS-dan recruiting sign.

Full costume debuted at my school's Cabaret Night in January 2007, where a friend and I performed God Knows.

At Fanime 2007, my hair ribbon forgotten and danchou armband ripped, Haruhi became Mikuru, made much easier by the fact that my hair is about the right color and length for Mikuru.

Planning on keeping the costume as Mikuru for AX 2007, but will bring the fixed armband and ribbon just in case. No SOS-dan recruiting sign, due to AX's new policy banning signs of all variants.
