Ever wonder what kind of lives Japanese cosplayers lead? Meet "Isamu Itsuki" (not her real name). By day, she's a mother and housewife, and by day (these game/manga conventions don't happen at night), she's a hardcore cosplayer. For the past ten years, Isamu has been playing dress-up and making her own costumes. She's currently has seventy different outfits! What's the fun? She says that if you are wearing a character's costume, then it's easy for folks that like the character to strike up a conversation. Ridiculous clothes just breed small talk. Brian Ashcraft

Thanks, Go
