Fate/Stay Night: Tosaka Rin

A model student and idol of Kamiya Shiro’s school, Tosaka Rin seemingly prefers to be alone than be in the company of other students. This is because she is secretly a magus, the successor to her family’s magecraft, and she was instructed by her father, Tokiomi, to prioritize sorcery over her own interests. Since then, she strived to earn the admiration of her peers to avoid drawing attention to her private life.
Saya makes quite a convincing Rin! I love the simple beauty of this cosplay.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!: Chrome Dokuro and Hibari Kyoya

When she was transferred into the future, Chrome’s physical condition became worse as her illusionary internal organs began failing one after the other. The adult Hibari Kyoya then instructed her to use the power of her Vongola Ring to sustain her organs through her own illusions. This allowed Chrome to escape any immediate danger, and thus prolonging her life.
Cosplayers Schoki and Hibanator make an excellent Chrome and Kyoya! I love the setting and Kyoya’s fierce attitude!

Fate/Stay Night: Saber 05

Saber was forced to destroy the Holy Grail during the fourth war as commanded by her master, Emiya Kiritsugu. However, she was not able to destroy the Grail completely, managing only to destroy its physical form. Kiritsugu needed to use his Reiju, a command seal, because Saber wished to use the Grail to redo her life so that a better person could take her place as king of her country.
Saber is technically the fourth character to reach 10 features in Cosplay Holic, seeing we have two darks, two lilys, and one red. And I know her hair’s a little off, but there’s something about this cosplay that makes it so in character.

Final Fantasy VII Advent Children: Yuffie Kisaragi 02

Prone to motion sickness and hopelessly obsessed with the collection of mana, Yuffie Kisaragi is the daughter of the leader of Wutai who wishes to return her country to its former glory, and not a mere tourist spot. In Advent Children, she helps Cloud and Tifa in the fight against Bahamut SIN. There is also a prequel novella "Case of Yuffie" which details about how Geostigma pread to Wutai and

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: Big Boss

In 1964, Big Boss (who was still known by his real name, Jack, at the time), took part in the Virtuous Mission as a member of the CIA's FOX unit. His was to rescue defecting Soviet scientist, Nikolai Stephanovich Sokolov, but unfortunately failed due to the defection of The Boss. As a result, he was imprisoned by the U.S. Government while recuperating in intensive care.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!: Dino Chiavarone

The 22-year-old, tenth generation boss of the Chiavarone Family, Dino is a fighter and a leader with exceptional skills. His main weapons, created by Reborn’s chameleon Leon, are a whip and Enzo, a turtle which grows in size and rampages when soaked in water. Like Sawada Tsunayoshi, Dino did not want anything to do with the Mafia, but became a suitable Mafia boss after Reborn became his home tutor.

Bleach: Kuchiki Rukia 05

When Rukia was forced to give her Soul Reaper abilities to Ichigo in order to save his family, she was left too weak to return to Soul Society. As such, she remained in the human world under Ichigo’s care until Byakuya and Renji were sent to find her. Unfortunately, Rukia was sentenced to death because of her actions and it’s up to Ichigo to save her.

Happy Halloween, everyone! I thought it would be appropriate to feature a shinigami for the occasion! I hope everyone has an awesome Halloween!

Naruto: Uchiha Itachi 02

Because of the violence of war Itachi experienced during his early childhood, he longed for peace and wished to achieve it at any cost. This was the reason why he became a double agent when his clan planned a coup d'état against Konohagakure. He was given orders to assassinate all of the Uchiha, but could not bring himself to kill his younger brother, Sasuke. He made himself out as a villain and joined the criminal organization, Akatsuki, continuing his work as an agent of Konoha.

Beautiful cosplay! I’ve always liked this character despite being the villain in Naruto. Thanks to Trida for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for commenting the cosplayer is Jesuke!

The main protagonist of Final Fantasy X, Tidus is a rising Blitzball star player from Zanarkand. He was transported to the world of Spira after Sin attacked Zanarkand. There, he met the young summoner, Yuna who was set on a pilgrimage in an attempt to put an end to the very creature that attacked his homeland. Tidus joined Yuna and her guardians hoping that he would one day find his way home.

That water looks so calm that it’s almost… fake. I’m hoping that’s not salt water or it might ruin the costume! Thanks again to Syaza for the contribution!

Vampire Knight: Kain Akatsuki

Aido Hanabusa's cousin, Kain Akatsuki is considered to be one of Kuran Kaname's Right Hand Men. Despite his “wild” appearance, he is actually quite mellow and laidback. Kain is known for his incredible perception and sensitivity, particularly to Aido’s and Ruka’s feelings.

Impressive Kain cosplay. I only wish we could see more of this cosplayer. Thanks to Imeru for sending this!

Gyakuten Saiban 4: Arumajiki Baran, Arumajiki Yumi, and Arumajiki Zakku

Baran (Valant), Yumi (Thalassa), and Zakku (Zak) are members of the trio of the Gramarye Troupe. When Zak was accused of Arumajiki Tensai’s (Magnifi Gramarye’s) murder, Zak had to leave his daughter under the care of Naruhodo Ryuichi (Phoenix Wright), who was Zakku’s lawyer at the time. The incident left Baran to revive the popularity of the Gramarye Troupe on his own.

Very cool cosplay! Though I wish we could see Baran’s face, Zakku’s expression is priceless. Thanks to Ophelia for sending this in!

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Aang 02

Aang is a vegetarian. He refuses to eat meat because the Air Nomads taught him that all life is sacred, the same teachings in Buddhism and Taoism. He uses airbending techniques which are based on an “internal” Chinese martial art known as Baguazhang. His style focuses on circular movements and does not have many finishing moves, representing the unpredictability of air and peaceful nature of the Air Nomads.

This Aang is so cute! I wonder if he really shaved his head? And what did he use to paint the arrow on his head? Thanks to Leon for sending this in!

Yozakura Quartet: Yarizakura Hime

A 16-year-old girl with supernatural powers, Yarizakura Hime became the mayor of her city when she was just a small child. Hime is said to be the human form of an ancient dragon. However, she asked Shinatsuhiko Yae to place a seal on her so that she can have a better perspective from a human’s point of view as well as a youkai’s. Although her grandmother was “tuned” by Akina’s grandfather, she treasures the long scarf made by Akina which covers the remnants of the seal on her neck.

Cute cosplay! I’ve never really heard of this series, but I really love the color of her eyes and hair! Thanks to Megan for sending this in!
