Shinomori Aoshi

What got you into cosplay?
Mostly friends. I got into cosplay by following friends into the hobby. I thought it was fun and challenging and that's why I'm still digging it.
What was your first costume and why?
My first costume was Shishio Makoto from Rurouni Kenshin. I was involved in a huge Kenshin group (14 persons) and wanted to cosplay Aoshi... but everyone thought I was too short for the part ...
What is your favorite costume and why?
My favorite costume is my Vincent Valentine one.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
Batman Begins Costume
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
The Tales of Symphonia group: it was really fun and everyone was in a really cool mood, the photoshoot we did right after the con was memorable!
