World Cosplay Summit 2007 Held In Nagoya

August 5th, 2007 by James

World Cosplay Summit 2007 is being in Nagoya this weekend, and cosplayers from around the world are apparently gathering there to celebrate the bizarre hobby of dressing up as anime, manga, and video game characters. Here’s a video of the summit’s costumed participants parading down a Nagoya street yesterday:

Not to mention there are plenty of sci-fi conventions here where people also cosplay as their favorite characters. They might not call it cosplay, but it certainly fits under the label of cosplay.

Well, I guess, though I’m not as serious as these people are when I dress up as a mummy for Halloween.

Otaku, I just don’t get it. call me ignorant if you want, but I have REAL women to love.
