In Japan, cat cafe Nekoya has been uploading feline friends in cosplay. Some of the outfits are purrfect. Nekoya has two locations: One in Saitama and the other in Kawagoe. Both look like ideal spaces for cats to roam about and have fun. There are manga for visitors (and not cats!) to read. At Nekoya,…
Behind The Mask, Kotaku’s own web series about cosplay, continues with this week’s episode which is all about Peter Kokis, aka Brooklyn Robotworks, a former gunship pilot in the military and now cosplayer famous for turning door stops and pasta strainers into amazing robot costumes. We’ve actually featured Peter’s work before—and *PLUG* interviewed him for…
When Blizzard finally showed off Overwatch’s latest character last week, they didn’t just do it on the internet. They also had a version of her in the flesh at Blizzcon. Henchmen Props worked with Blizzard (who did similar collaborations for Overwatch’s initial reveal) to have the costume ready for the show, while cosplayer Soni Aralynnwas…
If you’ve ever wanted to see some of the world’s best cosplayers crash and burn with some cheesy Overwatch-themed pick-up lines, well, here you go. Admiring the cosplay will help you with the cringing. Which is pretty easy, actually, since everyone from star Stella Chuu to KayBearto Jechts to Rian Synth (Hanzo up top) is…

Mamakiteru, master of Japanese horror cosplay, is still at it this Halloween season, turning creepy manga stills into a tableau of blood and crazy eyes. I know the black & white images are more “authentic”, but there’s something about the colour of her blood make-up that’s just fantastic.
Oni-Con was held last week in Texas, a smaller convention that’s notable for one very cool thing: the con is held right opposite a beach, so cosplayers can cross the street and get some shots on the sand. Mineralblu headed down there for some shoots, and was cool enough to share some of those images…

Now that the Bleach manga is finished, creator Tite Kubo has more time to focus on things besides drawing and writing. Things like Bleach cosplay, for example. Kubo recently began uploading sketches to his Twitter account, as well as a series of photos. First this. Then this. The text reads, “Long time, no see.” He…

On the left, cosplayer and make-up artist Sosenka. On the right, cosplayer and make-up artist Sosenka. Her Majin Buu cosplay looks good in stills, almost photoshopped in parts (like around the nose and mouth), so it pays to see the whole thing in motion so we can get an appreciation for how legit the whole…
In most instances, yeah, you can get some impressive cosplay photos from a con floor or a studio. If you’re Canadian, though, you can head into that country’s vast wilderness, and get some pics that are truly special. Similar to an Iceland trip made last year by some of cosplay’s biggest stars, a band of…
Halloween isn’t about getting hold of candy. It’s about who is in control of the supply. And when it comes to Overwatch, only one character is in charge: the dad. Cajun Captain Cosplay dressed as Dad 76 for Halloween, and went all out, with t-shirt, dad shoes, dad pants and rocking chair (to match Soldier…

Photos…
Come on guys. Nobody that handsome would be called “Gerald”. Cosplay by Maul
There may be more elaborate Halloween costumes on the internet this year, more technical costumes, but none will win my heart like this family’s take on Narcos It’s not the first series that comes to mind when I think “wholesome family cosplay”, especially given the relationships between some of the characters here, but I’m willing…
