I’ve been reading up on the World Cosplay Championship a little bit. I didn’t even know there was one. It’s a pretty cool setup they have going. As of last year Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, and the United States have all taken part in the festivities. Japan has only won once, but some of their entries are pretty badass. The US has pretty strong contenders too.

Japan won this year. The Championship was earlier this month. The winners dressed as the main characters from Sengoku Basara; Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura. (The Anime characters. Not the real (and boring) people.) Good times.
