Comiket Cosplay Pictures – Summer 2010

Posted on 18 Aug. 2010

This last weekend Comiket 78 was held at Tokyo Big Sight in the Odaiba area of Tokyo. Comiket is the largest self-published comic book (doujinshi manga) event on the planet, with over a half a million people attending each edition. Besides the tens of thousands of doujinshi comics on display, there is also a large cosplay area at Comiket. We know that cosplay isn’t really fashion, but we were in the area of the event with our camera so we thought we share some Japanese cosplay pictures with you!

Tokyo Big Sight

The building in the photo above is Tokyo Big Sight – the space-age looking convention center where Comiket takes place. Because we are in the middle of the summer in Tokyo – and the Comiket cosplay area is outside – the temperature was extremely hot. Please forgive any people who might look like they are melting in the photos (as were we while taking the pics).

Also, if you happen to know who any of these people are cosplaying, please leave a comment on this article and let us know. We can recognize Usavich cosplay, Hatsune Mix cosplay, and even Narita Express cosplay – but, we don’t know the majority of the Japanese cosplay going on here, so please let us know!

  1. Fantastic pictures, thank you! I love looking at cosplay, and I figure it is still fashion, as it’s all about their look. How they wore those costumes in the heat I don’t know, and they don’t even look hot! My hat goes off to them…!

  2. Pic #3: Alphonse and Edward from 鋼の錬金術師 (aka Fullmetal Alchemist).

    Pic #9: Tsukasa and Kagami from らき☆すた(Lucky Star).

    Pic #14: Haruhi Suzumiya from…Haruhi Suzumiya. xD

    Pic #15: Rikku and Yuna from Final Fantasy X.

    Pic #17: Tsukasa and Kagami again.

    I really like the 2 pairs of Hiiragi twins from Lucky Star =3
    The Japanese are far better cosplayers than most of us Brits :P

  4. Whoa. I am surprised the cosplaying is getting better. US cosplayers have a LOONNGG way to go. Europe and Canada… maybe.
