What got you into cosplay?
Always wanted to do it right since I first got into anime, and started doing it regularily in 2007 once I learned that there was a convention and other cosplayers in my city. Before that I just had the one cosplay and only wore it from time to time around my house.
What was your first costume and why?
I guess my first was a Sith costume that a friend had made for me for my Birthday. My first anime costume was Kakashi from Naruto. I had just started a new job a month before the convention and had the money to make/buy a cosplay. Because I had so little time, I decided to buy it just to make sure I had one for the convention.
What is your favorite costume and why?
My favorite is the one that I am working on now (Winter/Spring 2008). It's Kratos Aurion from the Tales of Symphonia video game and OAV. He was one of my favorite game characters and I have wanted to cosplay him really bad, so I am taking my time and making the costume as careful, and with as much attention to detail as possible.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
My dream costume was/is Kratos from Tales of Symphonia, and Squall from Final Fantasy VIII
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
we had a Naruto BBQ cosplay gethering in one of the parks in my city. At one point a Japanese tourist recognized my costume and though he spoke little english, I was able to understand him mostly and lead him back to the rest of the group where he took a ton of pictures for his relatives back home. The other reason I remember that day was because we had cake, but only brought forks to eat it with, no knives. So we used my metal Kunai to cut the cake... it was challenging, the first piece was pretty bad, but the rest turned out great
Do you participate in masquerades?
Yes, whenever I have a costume on that I am proud of.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
Not yet as I have just started cosplaying and am currently working on my first cosplay that i am
