Hetalia: Axis Powers: America

Energetic and headstrong, America was raised by England who later fights for his own independence. He is the self-proclaimed leader of the Allied Forces but his ideas for solving international problems are often absurd. Unfortunately, America also tends to be oblivious to the opinion of others.

Beautiful cosplay! I love the simple yet elegant pose the cosplayer’s done with the American flag around her. Thanks to T.J. for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to ~Lsine for finding my blog and letting me know this is her cosplay!

RG Veda: Kendappa-O

The queen of the Kendappa tribe, Kendappa-O serves as the royal musician and is one of the prophesized Six Stars. As the rest of the Stars gathered together to overthrow the treacherous reign of Taishakuten, it is revealed that Kendappa-O is Taishakuten’s shitenno, Jikokuten, the shitenno and bushinsho of the East. She believes that Taishakuten is the strongest person in Heaven and swore herself to his service when she was just a small child.

Beautiful cosplay by ~missdeliri! As usual, photographer *hexlord has done a wonderful job! Thanks to Megan for sending this in!

Granado Espada: Leticia

Very little is known about the Premium Item Merchant, Leticia, but players of Granado Espada know her very well. She sells in-game items that cost real money, so you can bet players think about her all the time, especially when they’re deciding whether or not to make a purchase.

I think it would be safe to say she’s from a family of merchants though? Or a family who is into the business.

Cute cosplay! I love her dress, but I wonder what she’s looking at? Thanks to Renae for sending this in!

Gyakuten Saiban: Yahari Masahi

Well-known for his unbelievable antics in school, Larry Butz is a childhood friend of Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth. He is a flight-of-fancy character and is quite prone to yelling fits. He’s had several jobs and several girlfriends over the years, but can never seem to keep either one for a long period of time.

Nevertheless, he remains happy with his life, despite finding himself caught between court cases. As the saying goes: “When something smells, it’s usually the Butz.”

Awesome cosplay! It’s too bad the photo is a little blurry, but the cosplayer really got the character down! I wonder if there are any other characters from the series who cosplayed with him? Thanks to Rue for sending this in!

Kingdom Hearts II: Rikku

A miniature version of her original Final Fantasy X-2 design, Rikku appears in Kingdom Hearts II as a little fairy. She retains most her characteristics in the new game; ditzy, good-natured, and a treasure fanatic like her teammates. Her attire is slightly modified, but retains its FF X-2 feel.

So cute! If only there was a bigger photo of this available. Thanks to Hanna for sending this in!

Guilty Gear XX: Bridget 04

When Bridget was still a bounty hunter, Dizzy was one of his targets but defeating her left him unsatisfied. As such, he continued his journey and went after May, a member of the Jellyfish Pirates. Only then did he feel that he had proven his masculinity, and soon after, abandoned his life as a bounty hunter. He made amends with May and later befriended the Jellyfish Pirates.

Even without the white or blonde hair, she still makes a cute Bridget! Reminds me of the chibi cosplayer I posted back in 2009. Thanks to Fumiki for sending this in!

Bleach: Urahara Kisuke 02

With a tendency to drive away his customers at the Urahara Shop, former Captain of the 12th Division Urahara Kisuke is a keen analyst and an avid inventor. He has the ability to discern his opponents’ weaknesses and attack patterns with ease. He trained Kurosaki Ichigo and some of his friends in the store’s cave-like basement, and was able to pass on some of his analytical skills to Ichigo.

I suppose this is what Urahara would look like if he had a similar fate to Neliel. Too adorable! Thanks to Robin for sending this in!

The Vision of Escaflowne: Van Fanel

The second son of King Goau and Queen Varie, Van Fanel became the young king of Fanelia when his older brother, Folken Lacour de Fanel, never returned from his test of kingship. Their mother was a Draconian, winged people from Atlantis who were considered to be bearers of bad luck.The brothers were cautioned at a young age against carelessly showing their wings as a mark of their Draconian heritage.

Cosplayer Haduki Youko (葉月ヨウコ) is the girl behind this classic anime character. I remember Van in a similar pose during the ending credits of the series. Thanks to Regan for sharing this!

Suki na Mono wa Suki Dakara Shoganai!!: Ran

Fujimori Sunao’s alternate personality, Ran is dependent, demanding, and slightly more feminine than his other half. Ran loves Hashiba Sora’s alternate personality, Yoru, and tends to flirt with Sora to bring out Yoru. Ran also never harasses Sunao but will seduce almost anybody else.

Beautiful cosplay! I thought the character was a girl at first, but I guess even guy characters can have pink hair! Thanks again to Cherokee for sending this in!
