Otacool Worldwide Cosplayers

POSTED BY DANNY CHOO On Sat 2010/01/23 15:40 JST in Japanese Pop Culture
Before we start to look at some of the Otacool 2 entries, need to mention a few important things:-
  • Deadline for all entries has been fixed and will be Feb 14th 2010.
  • Looks like we can fit nearly all valid entries into the book. I chose some folks for the cover with Kotobukiya but Koto choose who gets who gets full pages and who gets on the back cover.
  • However, entries that wont be chosen are *any* submissions where photos are blurry, are of low resolution or have watermarks as mentioned in the
  • I have included some photos in this post that either contain watermarks or are of low resolution - it would be a shame if we could not use any of these photos. Please go back and edit your post by replacing photos with non-watermarked high res images.
  • Anything not tagged "otacool, otacool2, otacoolcosplay" cant be considered - tagging helps us identify if you want to submit your work. It also means that your original high res photos are stored on the server.
  • If your cosplay involves wearing helmet - we need a photo of you without it - complicated licensing issues that not I or koto has control of ToT.
  • Photos of you with other cosplayers is fine but you need to put notes under each photo so that the editors know which photos to choose.
  • Deadline for the official Otacool mascot is the Feb 7th 2010. Kotobukiya will decide which illustrator gets the position.
  • Good luck all! Just make sure you submit high res images - not watermarked!
OK, going to take a look at a selection I chose at random this morning which does contain a few faves of mine starting with Germany.

Favourite Cosplay Character: Nia Teppelin
My website: http://www.ranma2020.deviantart.com
Brief statement: I hope the resolution is ok. I am such a Cosplaymaniac! 8D
And remember - just because your photo is not in this post (was not about to post over 200 photos in a single post), it does not mean you wont be in the book - only entries with blurry, low-res or watermarked photos wont be published - and about 50 entries fall into this category.
There are actually photos in this post that *wont* be in the book because they are low res or watermarked - if that applies to you then please go and replace your photos in your post.
Christina has a great example of how your entries should be - all hi-res with a good selection of photos which show costume and pose from various angles.
Christina also has a full profile - some entries didn't have a profile at all which we cant use.
Many photos were taken on a mobile phone - we cant use those for print - not with today's technology.

http://www.figure.fm/post/en/6650/Otacool+2+Sandtrooper.html
* Name: Gordon Ho
* Age: 50
* Country of residence: Singapore
* Years of cosplay: 0
* Favorite cosplay character: Sandtrooper Sergeant
* Your website/twitter or facebook link: http://gordonator.com
Actually being a Sandtrooper isn't really considered cosplaying, we call it costuming. I started out as a Stormtrooper but feels that being dirty is so much more fun. ^^; I love it when kids say to their parent, "Mum, look at this one, so dirty!" or this cute girl who can't decide whether to take a picture with the clean Stormtrooper or dirty me. ^^
Being a Sandtrooper also means you are unique in a way that no second Sandtrooper has the same weathering as you. But unfortunately most people can't really differentiate between a Stormtrooper and a Sandtrooper. Most call a Sandtrooper as a Stormtrooper anyway. ^^;
OK anyway, here are some pics of me with various local cosplayers at a major cosplay event last December. Pardon for the bad shots, it aren't shot professionally, plus bad lightning, messy background etc. But hey, it's still a piece of memorable memory to me. ('~')
Nyan nyan Gordon, please submit photo of yourself without helmet but showing your armor (chest + neck)

Brief Statement:
Hello! I am Alodia, an artist, gamer, blogger, pianist, figure & BJD collector/photographer, model and cosplayer. I started cosplaying along with my sister Ashley when I was 15 years old (2003) and started to get invitations to guest judge cosplay competitions when I turned 18. Since then, my love for cosplay has never faded. In fact, my love for it actually grew greater over time; and that I can also consider cosplaying to have the greatest influence on myself as an individual. One of my life's goal is to spread the passion of cosplaying and bring together great cosplayers and cosplay enthusiasts all over the world - thus CosplayCircle was born.

I got into cosplay for my love of costuming and sewing, my love for anime came after that.
The Rei Ayanami based on a figure that came out last summer, but I mixed in a little Guro style, as it works so well for Rei. I won a judges award for a Midnight Tea (Gothic Lolita) competition for this costume and table setting at Anime Expo 09. I loved wearing this costume! I made a matching Asuka costume for my sister and we had a great time!!!
The Saber costume was lovely to wear, even though it was so heavy and I was never able to make the armor.
I had a whole group of cosplayers with me for the rest of the Fate Stay night cast, so we made an awesome sight together. We won best of show in the Anime Vegas 2009 Masquerade.
The Witch Hunter Robin cosplay I love because of its simplicity. It is wonderful to wear and move in, and I feel as though this is one of the cosplays I 'fit' the most. I won this along with an Amon, Best veteran construction (even though we had never been in a Masquerade before).

Brief statement:
I got into the world of anime almost two years ago... and I loved to cosplay movie characters and other stuff before this and, since I got into this new world, I started to cosplay and I just loved it... the costume, accesories, weapons design is great and of course, to perform as the character I'm cosplaying is the best part of all. I cosplay all characters from anime/manga I get to like and the ones I feel most confortable cosplaying. In my country cosplay has just started a couple of years ago and I'm so glad to be part of this.
Can't believe there is actually a contest about this, I'm so happy I can give it a try... why not?

Brief statement:
I got into the world of anime almost two years ago... and I loved to cosplay movie characters and other stuff before this and, since I got into this new world, I started to cosplay and I just loved it... the costume, accesories, weapons design is great and of course, to perform as the character I'm cosplaying is the best part of all. I cosplay all characters from anime/manga I get to like and the ones I feel most confortable cosplaying. In my country cosplay has just started a couple of years ago and I'm so glad to be part of this.
Can't believe there is actually a contest about this, I'm so happy I can give it a try... why not?

Brief statement :
Hi, I’m Orochi X, I love cosplay to express myself, as a gamer I love challenge, and I think to make one single costume 100% done it self is a big challenge for me, every costume got it’s own difficulties and through one costume to another, I gain more experiences that makes my costume making skill getting better for my next costume project…
As for character choosing, I always choose male character to portray, because it much more comparable to my gaming personality and I do feel more comfortable with it…
I really enjoyed cosplay from the making of the costume until how to portray the final result in front of the camera and in cosplay events. This hobby really fun and challenging!

* Brief statement:
I am a combination of Western Fanboy or Eastern Otaku. Loving everything from Marvel Comics to Japanese Anime. I always wanted to costume/cosplay a stormtrooper, because its a classic character from the 1980s and its known to all those who watch TV/Movies with a passion!
The Tokyo Dancing Trooper became an icon to me, because it symbolizes both Western Science Fiction (Star Wars) and a dash of Otaku-ism (SoS Brigade Armband). I am planning to join the 501st Legion (just like Gordonator) to improve my armor, and join as many conventions i can in Australia.
I wear the armor and travel to places as much as i can to promote otaku culture, seeing smiles and perhaps boosting morale? I love being humorous in and out of the armor =3 I plan to improve my armor as much as i can with gadgets and cosplay gimmicks depending on what kind of convention i end up going to!
