What got you into cosplay?
I always wanted to do it but I felt insecure cosplaying on my own for the first time. Then, my friends expressed an interest in wanting to cosplay too, so we decided to meet up at the convention together.
What was your first costume and why?
Rind from the Aa! Megami-Sama! Manga. I chose this costume because I was looking for a costume that wasn't too revealing but was still something that very few people had done before.
What is your favorite costume and why?
My favorite costume so far is my latest one, Hajime Ryudou from Legend of the Dragon Kings. Mainly because it is my dream costume, and I can't believe I pulled it off. It was a huge project, and I went as a group with several friends, making the construction and debuting of the costume all the more memorable. It is the first costume where I tried doing alot of things I had never done before as well (i.e. armor-making, stencils, etc).
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Not presently. I made the one that was originally my dream costume and the cosplay I'm working on is my other one.
I do have a lot of costumes I'd like to make in the future though.
Do you participate in masquerades?
Yes, I participated with a group that I organized for the first time at Anime Boston 2007. And this year at Anime Boston 2008, I participated again with 2 other people.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
First Place in the Novice Division and a Judge's Award for Presentation at Anime Boston 2007.
First Place in Journeyman Division and an Honorable Mention for Excellence in Posing at Anime Boston 2008.
