Slaying the Cosplay Game Cosplay

Excerpt from “Creating Through Cosplay”
Amadara Oguara (Kyoto) I am THAT cool anime-loving English teacher by day, but what my students don’t know is that I cosplay by night! I am currently a first-year elementary and junior high JET in Kyoto City. I attended my first anime convention in 2009 not knowing what cosplay was, and when I found out that it was a thing people do, it absolutely blew my mind. I’d always enjoyed dressing up during Halloween, but didn’t realize it was something I could do for more than one day out of the year!
