TGS 2005 Cosplay

ok to those who didn't know what the heck cosplay is, let me give you a simple explanation. ok i'm a very lazy guy so just settle with what wikipedia said:

Cosplay (コスプレ kosupure), a contraction (or portmanteau) of the English words "costume" and "play", is a Japanese subculture centered on dressing as characters from manga, anime, and video games, and, less commonly, Japanese live action television shows, Japanese movies, or Japanese pop music bands. However, in some circles, "cosplay" has been expanded to mean simply wearing a costume.

In Japan, "cosplay" as a hobby is usually an end in itself. Likeminded people gather to see other costumes, show off their own elaborate handmade creations, take lots of pictures, and possibly participate in best costume contests.

To me, cosplayers are just a bunch of weird kids in weird costumes, but sometimes they're nice to look at so what the hell eh? these were some of the cosplayer that took part in the tokyo game show 2005 cosplay event. there's too many of them and i only managed to took a couple of pictures. buon apetito!
