Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica: Kaname Madoka 04

If this is another Luka cosplay that I don’t know of, I think I just might cry. Then again, I’m not a huge fan of Luka’s songs, so I guess it can’t be helped that these end up in the unknown section of Cosplay Holic.

I just hope the Luka fans won’t kill me for saying all that! Thanks to Julianne for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to St. Arcana for letting me know she is Kaname Madoka from the final episode of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica!

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior: Chun Li 02

Introduced in Street Fighter II, Chun-Li is the first female playable character to appear in a 1-on-1 fighting game. She was the only female character, as well as one of the youngest fighters, in the game. While she is not physically powerful, she was the quickest by far. Chun-Li’s most famous attack is the Hyakuretsukyaku, or the “Hundred Rending Leg”, commonly known as the Lightning Kick, where she repeatedly kicks her opponents with incredible speed.

Another awesome cosplay by Rachel! I thought this outfit was from one of the the newer games, but this is apparently Rachel’s original design! Definitely a nice twist! Thanks again to Rachel for allowing me to post this!

Vocaloid 2: Hatsune Mikuo

Hatsune Mikuo is a popular genderbend character of Hatsune Miku. He is often depicted as either Miku's older brother or her twin. Mikuo was born as a result of extreme down pitching of Miku’s voice, possibly desiring to make Miku sound masculine.

Another beautiful cosplay by Marimo! It’s quite simple yet effective, though I’m not really sure why. Thanks again to Rei for sending this in!

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Ryuga Rena and Houjou Satoko

Rena and Satoko are considered to be close friends and, on many occasions, Rena had even wanted to take Satoko home. Rena cares dearly for Satoko, and was very concerned about her when she is being abused to by Teppei. In Tsukiotoshi-hen, Rena even agrees to killing Houjou Teppei, Sonozaki Shion, and Maebara Keiichi, if that was what it took to save Satoko.

Cute cosplayers from Summer Comiket 2011! Good thing I remembered Satoko from last’s year’s feature, or I might have added this in the unknown section again! Thanks again to 2chmod for sending this!

Macross Frontier: Brera Sterne 02

Later in the series, Brera Sterne was eventually revealed to be a Major in the Galaxy Fleet Antares Squadron. He became Ranka’s bodyguard and loved listening to her songs, telling Ranka that he felt as if he was being enveloped in a universe that accepted him instead of rejecting him. Brera later assisted Ranka in delivering her stage 2 Vajra pet “Ai-kun” to the rest of its species.

Great cosplay! Really love the pose on this photo, but I’m not that sure if it’s in character or not since I haven’t seen Macross Frontier yet. Thanks to Tamia for sending this in!

Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha: Yin 02

Yin is a "Doll", a type of medium that came into existence with the appearance of Hell's Gate. Her kind has an affinity for certain substances or elements which gives them a special ability. When they are in contact with that substance, it allows them to project “observation specters” to any location the substance is also present, and lets them view that location remotely. Yin’s medium substance is water.

Beautiful cosplay by Fantasia of The Lost Aria Group from New Zealand! They have an impressive collection of photos in their Deviant Art account, so please pay them a visit! Thanks again to the group for allowing me to post this!

D. Gray-man: Allen Walker 05

Allen Walker loves his foster father, Mana Walker and is greatly influenced by him. He is said to be wearing a “mask of Mana” because, after being traumatized by Mana’s death, Allen began adapting his mannerisms and personality as his own. Allen promised his father that he would keep moving forward on the path of his choosing, and to never give up. This promise has kept Allen optimistic no matter what happens. Although Allen spoke in a formal tone like Mana, he began speaking less formally as the series progressed, reverting back to the way he used to be.

This photograph looks so emotional and effective, even though we can’t see the cosplayer face. A great find! Thanks to Julia for sending this!

Vampire Knight: Aido Hanabusa

Nicknamed “Idol” by the Day Class girls, Aido Hanabusa along with his cousin Kain Akatsuki are known to be “Lord Kaname’s right hand” amongst the Night Class. His fierce loyalty for Kaname borders on jealousy, which is shown in a flashback when he first met Kaname as a child. Aido also has a tendency to overstep his boundaries, which results in humorous, as well as severe punishments from Kaname.

Zen, 全TRUST☆MYDREAM (ぜん) looks very much in character in this photo, and her wig is just right as well! Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Ikkitousen: Kanu Unchou 02

A third-year student at Seito Academy, Kanu Unchou is an A-ranked fighter who is believed to be the most feared and powerful fighter in the Kanto region. She carries the nearly invincible Blue Dragon Crescent Blade from her predecessor and the legendary sword Kusanagi. She is also said to have an overwhelming amount of chi.

Ok, so she’s probably the same cosplayer as before, but this photo is very nicely done, and I posted her in the Unknown section before anyhow! Thanks to Denise for sending this in!
