I spent a good hour taking photographs in a section of Tokyo Game Show called "cosplay alley." There is a specific section of the convention hall dedicated to cosplayers. The varying participants stand next to a wall, pose for shots and when the crowd for them has dried up, they leave and make room for the next set of cosplayers. If you want to be one of the folks snapping shots, though, there are rules to follow, which I was completely unaware of before I showed up. Serious business!
- "Photography or filming near the ailes is prohibited."
- "You must obtain persmission from the subject(s) before taking photographs or filming. Also, all photography and filming must be done with a wall in the background so as to avoid including other people in your shots."
- "You will be asked to stop taking photographs or filming if staff judges it is causing inconvenience to others."
Luckily, I wasn't kicked out. Phew.
Check out our photos from "cosplay alley" at the Tokyo Game Show 2009.

Those where kinda sad cosplays. Only good ones where Bayonetta, the FF movie one, and the FF PSP game one.

they'll show them...the crowd fav was the Bayonetta chick...Morgan did a couple interviews while my bro and I were standing there and was kind enough to get a pic of us (and one of the g4 guys was nice enough to take the pic) they are very cool people IRL and are very approachable and not snooty at all. I bet they post that stuff tonight. Thanks for being cool to some fellow gaijin (sp?) G4!

The title says cosplay, yet I see no sexy ladies...

now I understand the purpose of an ipod nano having a camera, you can take a photo of someone (in this case cosplayer) and they'll think your just changing songs

Cosplay is like Halloween. Except it's everyday overseas.
You dress up like your favorite Anime/Video game character(usually, there are exceptions).

I bet you could open a shop that sells just "Spiked Blond Wig", with a chaser of "Long White Hair Wig" and make millions! (Now also selling swords "TO BIG FOR NORMAL PEOPLE!!!!!")
