What is Cosplay?
Cosplay is the art of embodying anime, manga, and video game characters through costumes and makeup. It began as a hobby limited to Japan in the 1980s, then spread worldwide with the rise of the internet and social media.
Conventions and Communities
Today, enormous conventions like Comiket and Anime Expo attract millions of visitors every year, where cosplayers compete in the accuracy of details and creativity.
More Than Just a Costume
For many, cosplay is more than just a costume – it's a way to express one's identity and attachment to beloved characters, in addition to building a supportive community of enthusiasts who share the same interests.
