Final Fantasy VII: Sephiroth and Jenova

One the best and most powerful member of the elite warriors of Shinra, Sephiroth is well known for his skills during the war. Unfortunately, when he was sent on a mission to the village of Nibelheim, he discovered that he was only a product of a biological experiment using Jenova cells. This drove Sephiroth to insanity, burning down the entire village and killing several civilians. He was assumed dead after his confrontation with Cloud Strife, but reappears 4 years after the incident and kills Shinra's president in the process.

Beautiful cosplay! And as Phoenix, the contributor, said "unique because it actually showed Sephiroth and Jenova". Wish I had more pictures of this cosplayer! Thanks for sharing this!

Princess Tutu: Princess Tutu and Princess Kraehe

Rivals in winning the love and favor of Prince Mytho, Princess Tutu will stop at nothing to retrieve her beloved Prince’s shattered heart, while Princess Kraehe will stop at nothing to prevent returning his heart shards fearing she will lose him to someone else. Princess Tutu loved the Prince unselfishly and, despite knowing she would disappear once she confesses her love for him, fulfilled her duty that he may find true happiness and smile once more. Incidentally, Princess Kraehe loved the Prince ever since childhood, as the Prince once defended her from the Ravens.

Two Princesses who love the same Prince in different yet similar ways. Twins Genki-uHinagiku and Miaka2u are the cosplayers behind the lovely Princesses. They apparently spent more than 500 hours each on their costumes with beautiful results!

First debuted in AWA 2009! To view more of their photos, please visit their Live Journal post. Thanks to Rashaka for sending this in!

Pokemon: Satoshi

In the beginning of the hit anime series Pokemon, Ash Ketchum is only 10-years-old and started out as a beginner Pokemon trainer in Pallet town. He failed in receiving one of the three Pokemon (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle) Professor Oak was giving to hopeful youngsters because he was too busy dreaming about becoming a world famous Pokemon trainer. His eagerness made Professor Oak consider giving Ash his last remaining Pokemon, the unruly and now infamous Pikachu for his starter Pokemon, allowing Ash to begin his journey.

Awesome cosplay! I love how much the cosplayer paid attention to the details of Ash’s costume down to the plush Pikachu! I have one exactly like it, but I doubt I could cosplay Ash just as well. Thanks to Tamari for sending this in!

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion: Lelouch Lamperouge and Kururugi Suzaku

Lelouch of Britannia and Suzaku of Japan first met when Lelouch and his sister, Nunally moved to the Kururugi residence as a diplomatic peace trade. Suzaku initially thought Lelouch was a prince who did not care for anyone other than himself, but as he came to know him better, they became the best of friends. They were separated from one another when Britannia invaded Japan, but were reunited once more in the Shinjuku Ghetto.

Beautiful cosplay! I can see a smirk in Lelouch’s face which is actually how I picture him to be. Suzaku looks very charming as well. Thanks to Tamina for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for crediting this photo to Kansaiii and Lenneth XVII!
