Cosplay Events
Cosplay is a rapidly growing craze all over the world. The
word is a combination of "costume" and "play" which
basically means dresssing up as your favourite character from a movie, game,
book, comic or whatever takes your fancy.
The most common form of cosplay is dressing up as an Japanese anime or manga
character, Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts cosplays are popular too!
