Ookamiyou

I don't really do much outside of Anime/Manga or Cosplay/Convention related activities. ^^;
I've seen 200+ Anime and read dozens of manga (though the manga number is no where close to the anime).
I've been going to cons since 2004. I've been to 3 different cons but I've been to Anime Detour for 4 years running now.
I like plushies? Yeah, not sure what else to put here. So we'll end on this note: Plushies Rule! ^.^

What got you into cosplay?
Oddly, I wasn't something like I liked to play dress up as a child or anything. At the time I didn’t even know it was called Cosplay. We were just playing “dress up” because that’s just the childish things I do. XD
What was your first costume and why?
Kai Hiwatari of Beyblade. Sleep deprivation and boredom, I guess is the short answer. The long answer would be that as a character I really liked him and his hair was blue (as was mine at the time). His outfit really intrigued me and I really wanted to have one exactly like it. So I made one or at least rummage through a friend's closet and my bag of clothes and found things that matched (or closely resembled) the outfit.
What is your favorite costume and why?
Kurama of YuYu Hakusho. It was the first one I ever wore to a convention and I had such a good time. A lot of people kept pointing me out to their friends. I also experience my first glomp in that costume.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Sugino-sama of tactics, Tsukasa Amou from Juvenile Orion, and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX's Haou/Supreme King
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
My first glomp - I was dressed as Kurama and was standing around talking when a "Kurama, Kurama, KURAMA!" was shouted and seconds later there was child attached to my waist. Her sister followed shortly and apoligized. (I told her it was no problem) - or The "photoshoot" with the Sound Ninja at Anime Detour 2007 - I was dressed as Shikamaru and wondering with a friend, whom was Ino, and we ran into the Sound Genin. She'd met their Kin the day before and of course we wanted pictures because of the forest fight the two teams had. It went from one camara flash to what seemed like 8 or so all around us. It was fun. ^.^
Do you participate in masquerades?
I don't. I've been told I should but I get nervous in front of people.
Tell us a little about yourself
I really like costume designing so I'm attempting a few original designs for characters I've cosplayed. (Don't know what's actually going to happen with them though)
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Over the years I've gained (and lost) a few nicknames. You'll find me as Ookamiyou on most cosplay related sites. Otherwise you may know me as BlackFlameEnvy, YamiHonooSenbou, YamiHonooEnvy or even Kaorion on various other networking sites/forums.
