Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin 15

真夜中の4時にみつけた　四ツ葉のクローバー焼きついた
At 4 o'clock that midnight I found a four-leaf clover, I was impressed
三ツ足のカラス　屋根の上で不気味に見つめる
Three legged crow, upon the roof it ghastly watches us
双子はいつまでも石油で体を清めて　ほのかに香る
Twins eternally cleanse their bodies with oil, faintly emitting a scent
有機モノソミー　ひとりきり
Organic monotony, all alone

Peter, the one who sent in this photo, thought this cosplayer might be the same one I featured back in January 2010. What do you guys think? Thanks again for sending this!

Ikkitousen: Ryuubi Gentoku

A klutzy, ditzy, bespectacled bookworm with seemingly no combat skills whatsoever, Ryuubi Gentoku is destined to become a great leader, but is presently too timid and carefree to become one. She is, however, more than willing to do her best for her friends. She possesses the most destructive dragon ever seen, which is so evil that it radiates entropic energy and nearly made her disembowel herself.

Hard to imagine how such a cute and timid girl would have something so powerful. Thanks to Orion for sending this in! First found on Kyoko’s Tumblr!

Street Fighter II: The World Warrior: Chun Li 03

Chun Li is generally a cheerful woman who often gets happy and excited whenever she wins a fight. As a member of the police Interpol, she takes her job very seriously and always does her best to complete her mission. Chun Li can be quite competitive with other female fighters, but sometimes becomes allies or even friends with them outside the ring.

Cute cosplayer! I wonder what that game is? It looks like a slot machine of some sort. Thanks to Ingrid for sending this in!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi: Nagato Yuki 08

In one of the episodes of the Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi, Yuki and Haruhi acted as stand-ins for four-member band in their school cultural festival. Surprisingly (or unsurprisingly), Yuki was able to memorize the music piece just by looking at it, and played the guitar flawlessly on stage. Kyon later commented that Yuki probably played along with Haruhi to keep her from being bored.

Awesome cosplay! I had to crop this, but the original image is linked on the thumbnail, so feel free to see the high-res version! Thanks to Shinji for sending this in!

Hakuoki: Hetukuturoku: Hijitaka Toshizo

The Vice-Commander of the Shinsengumi, Hijitaka Toshizo is often called oni-fukuchou or “the Demon Vice-Commander” due to his strict nature - demanding both respect and fear from his men. He makes most of the Shinsengumi’s decisions, and was the one who ordered to bring Yukimura Chizuru back to headquarters the night she witnessed their “secret”. Although he acts as if Chizuru is more trouble that she’s worth, he actually cares quite deeply for her safety and often protects her in battle.

Beautiful cosplay by Tooya of World Cosplay! Hijitaka is probably one of the characters I felt most pity for when I read his real story in the history of Japan. It feels harsh for someone so young to die in war. Thanks to Miki-chan for sending this!

Fushigi Yuugi: Nuriko

First appearing to be “Korin” from Hotohori’s harem, Nuriko is one of the seven Suzaku warriors and he is, in fact, a man. Korin was the name of his younger sister who died at a young age, and Nuriko began dressing like her to keep her memory alive. He later comes to terms with the fact that his cross-dressing resulted from the unyielding pain of the loss of his sister, and that he had been trying to live his life the way Korin would have, not as he would have.

I think this may be Saya, but I’m not completely sure. Can anyone verify this for me? Thanks to Sammy for sending this in!

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII: Genesis Rhapsodos

A 1st-class SOLDIER who rebelled against Shinra, Genesis Rhapsodos went AWOL hoping to find a cure for his illness, degradation. He is an end result of Project G, an experiment involving a woman named Gillian was injected with Jenova cells before her cells were harvested and injected into Genesis when he was still a fetus. Genesis is considered a traitor to Shinra, but he is a close friend of Angeal Hewly’s as well as Sephiroth’s.

Although the contrast is pretty high on this photo, I liked the sinister effect that it gives to the cosplayer. Thanks again to Julia for sending this in!
