Lamento: Beyond the Void: Rai
A bounty hunter who carries two swords, Rai is a silver-haired cat who wears a patch over his right eye. He is known to have a calm but arrogant personality, and is strict towards both himself and others.
I unfortunately know nothing else about the character aside from that. There’s not much to go on with this series, so I’ll trust Sapphirus’ information for now. I do know that the cosplayer is Stay though! Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

Nurarihyon no Mago: Yuki Onna 02
Cheerful and highly dedicated, Tsurara can be quite overprotective of Nura Rikuo especially when he is in his “day” form. She works hard trying not to be a burden to him and has stated that she will protect him for all of eternity. This is because Rikuo was the one with whom she exchanged sakazuki with.
Beautiful cosplay by Shuichicos! I’m sorry, I don’t know much about this series, but she’s a very cute cosplayer nonetheless! Thanks again to Ahupito for sending this in!

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!

Uta no Prince-sama: Nanami Haruka 02
Despite having dizzy spells from the city’s “noise”, Nanami Haruka enrolled in the prestigious Saotome Academy in the hopes of becoming a composer for her idol, Hayato. Prior to her enrollment, she had no experience in reading sheet music, but she is able to play the piano very well as taught by her grandmother. Haruka proves to be a very talented as the series progresses, even learning how to read sheet music after studying for only one day.
Such a cute Haruka by cosplayer Yuu! I really like this summer uniform better than the regular one for the girls. Thanks to Misakichan for sending this in!

A wolf harvest deity originally from a place in the north known as Yoitsu, Horo made a promise to the men of Pasloe that she would ensure them good wheat harvest year after year. However, as the years passed, the townspeople started to forsake Horo and did not rely on her as much as they used to. As a result, Horo escaped Pasloe in Kraft Lawrence’s wagon, hoping to see how much the world has changed since her stay in Pasloe.
Another cute cosplay by Tanzoir! She now has a Facebook Page, so please check her out and give her a like when you have time! Thanks again for allowing me to feature this!

Blazblue: Calamity Trigger: Noel Vermillion
A young girl who was found amidst the burning fields of Ikaruga, Noel became the adopted daughter of the Vermillion family. It was because of her outstanding combat activity that she became a high-ranking member of the NOL using the Nox Nyctores revolver Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk. These guns do not fire actual bullets, but rather, inflicts damage by creating distortions in dimensional space.

Fate/Extra: Saber and Super Sarah G.
It might be a little early for our weekly Unknown Feature, but this is a crossover anyway and I thought this photo needed to be featured as soon as possible.
This was taken by Kira Hokuten during the Philippine Toy Convention 2012. I know Alodia Gosiengfiao is cosplaying Fate/Extra’s Saber, but I’m not sure who Sarah Geronimo is cosplaying as. It’s funny that from this angle, they look like sisters! I thought this was a photo of Alodia and Ashley at first until I read the description on Facebook.
Got a better idea? Thanks to Ernz for sharing this!
EDIT: Thanks to Keneth for letting me know that this is Sarah Geronimo’s alternate ego, “Super Sarah G.”!

One Piece: Nami
A thief and pickpocket who possesses skills to analyze the slightest changes in climate and draw sea charts, Nami was forced to become a subordinate of the fishman Arlong, the man who killed her guardian Bellemere. When she realized Arlong was working for the Marines to cover his tracks, Nami turned on him and Monkey D. Luffy, along with his crew, defeated Arlong and freed Nami as well as the entire village from his tyranny. Nami joined the Straw Hat Pirates as their navigator in order to fulfill her dream of writing the complete map of the Grand Line.

Touhou Project: Remilia Scarlet 03
While Remilia is usually self-centered and somewhat bratty, it is possible to become her friend, but most humans and youkai alike prefer to stay away her. Her name, appearance, house, and clothing all indicate she is European in origin and for some unknown reason, emigrated to Japan many years ago. Remilia claims to be a descendant of the world’s most notorious vampire, Count Vlad epe Dracul, but this is nothing more than a lie.
Stunning cosplay by Tsugumi-san from Deviant Art! I love the addition of the shadow “wing”. Thanks to anon for sharing this and to Nic Yoon for the awesome photography!
EDIT: Apparently, that’s not a shadow wing after all, but a real one. My eyes are playing tricks on me, I’m so sorry about the confusion!

Jet Loaf: Loaf
In planet Kapopo, everyone has a halo above their heads fashioned according to a specific animal. Each halo has a tail, and the length of which is determined by the person’s wisdom, knowledge, and abilities.
Loaf has one of the longest tails the manga has introduced, and yet despite being sought after by many established universities, she prefers to beta test video games in the comfort of her own home!
Personally, I would prefer being a beta tester over teaching any time, but I’m not as smart as she is. I guess we’ll have to wait for the next book to come out to know more about her. This photo is making me hungry…

Toradora!: Aisaka Taiga 05

| Source: World Anime: Tu mundo aqui y ahora |
Aisaka Taiga generally has a negative attitude towards others and she doesn’t hesitate in snapping at people who annoy her. Takasu Ryuji was no exception as she instantly took a disliking to him when they first met. Be as it may, Taiga coincidentally lived in an apartment next to Ryuji’s house, and they ended up being closer friends than either which could have ever guessed.
Amazingly cute cosplay by Merino Moko! With a smile like that, I think she can easily win any guy’s heart, just like Taiga. Thanks again to Lily for sending this in!

Dead or Alive: Kasumi 06

| Source: Crunchyroll |
When Kasumi was 17, her uncle, the rogue ninja Raidou returned to their village in order to obtain a ninpo spell used by the clan’s leaders known as the “Torn Sky Blast” technique. After managing to defeat Ayane, Raidou eventually mimicked the technique from Hayate, and rendered him both comatose and paraplegic before escaping. Kasumi was unfortunately not present during the attack and since no one told her about what had transpired between Hayate and Raidou, she did not know who attacked her brother until much later in the game.
Another amazing cosplay by Arisa Mizuhara! She sure has a lot of cosplays of different characters. I wonder how many costumes she now owns and keeps in her closet? Thanks to Jasmine for sending this in!

Bakuman: Mashiro Moritaka and Takagi Akito

| First seen on: I love Anime on FB | Source: Bandit Ying on Deviant Art |
When junior high school student Mashiro Moritaka forgot his notebook in class, fellow classmate Takagi Akita saw Mashiro’s drawings in it and instantly asked him to become the manga artist to his stories. However, Mashiro declined his offer as his late uncle, a manga artist, died from overwork.
Takagi then incited Mashiro to meet with Azuki Miho, Mashiro’s crush, and told her that they planned to become manga artists. Azuki revealed that she wanted to become a voice actress and thus Mashiro proposed to her that they should both marry when Azuki became a voice actress for the anime adaptation of their manga.
Mashiro and Takagi then started creating their manga under the pen name Ashirogi Muto, in hopes of getting serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump.
Stunning work by Bandit Ying as Mashiro and Shuui as Takagi! I really need to pick up this series soon seeing that I too want to be a successful mangaka some day. Thanks to Misaka for sending this in!

Ikkitousen: Kanu Unchou 03
Kanu Unchou has always believed that it is her destiny to die while protecting their leader, Ryuubi Gentoku. In line with this, however, many characters believe that it is Ryomou Shimei who will one day kill her. Unchou was later forced to side with Sousou Motoku and attack Nanyo Gakuen in order to protect Ryubi from Kyosho Gakuen’s fighters.
I think this may be Akira Itsuki again as Unchou only with a different school uniform. She must really like this character since she’s already cosplayed her two years ago. Thanks again to Denise for sending this in!

300 Perfect Game: Iincho with Series Creator, Jeff Nice
Back in Junior High, Iincho (the Class President) was a sweet, loving, perfect girlfriend to Bob, a loveable loser who is completely devoted and loyal to Iincho. However, after the tragic death of Iincho’s father, she broke up with Bob and become quite the terror of a class president. Bob will stop at nothing to get his childhood sweetheart back, but will the charming new transfer student, Andrew, beat him to it?
Here’s something you don’t get to see everyday. Not only was I able to take a photo of Eleniel Mist cosplaying (and literally role-playing) Iincho, but she’s with the series’ creator, Jeff Nice! You might want to check out the hilarious webcomic, now 8 chapters and running! Thanks for posing for me, guys! Until the next convention!
