Day 16 - post a kigurumi cosplay of your favorite anime character

Anime Kigurumi

A subset of kigurumi in otaku and cosplay circles is anime kigurumi. In this style of representation humanoid characters are portrayed through the use of masks and bodysuits (the bodysuit is known in Japan as a zentai) that completely covers the bodies of cosplayers. The performer is known as an animegao or "doller". A doller [sic] outfit consists of a full bodysuit, usually in a fleshtone color, combined with clothing and accessories appropriate for the character. A mask covers the head with a wig and perhaps a hat to complete the look. The performer looks through eyeholes in the mask.

-So this is the hardest, i must admit. I had a hard time looking for a good, cute one. For that, I'll be presenting  couples of kugurumi pics to be able to digest its meaning and to appreciate them well.(wofft!)









bayeeh!
