Pokemon: Musashi and Kojiro

The main antagonists of the Pokemon anime and manga series, Musashi (Jessie) and Kojiro (James) have set out to steal Satoshi’s (Ash Ketchum’s) Pikachu whom they consider to be especially strong. They are known to use various disguises with Musashi wearing masculine clothing and Kojiro cross-dressing in extremely feminine attire. They almost always “blast off” whenever they are defeated by Satoshi.
Wow, who would have thought anyone could pull off Musashi’s hair that well?

EDIT: Thanks to Fang Shinobi for commenting that Ryoko is Jessie and Malro is James!

2011 Cosplay Calendar for Charity

When Natalie Parisi sent me an email regarding a 2011 Cosplay Calendar for Charity, I had to admit, I was quite skeptical at first. Mainly because I’ve had many requests like this in the past, and none seemed legitimate aside from this one:

25% of the final sale price will support Room to Read (Small deduction may apply. Learn more about eBay Giving Works)

About this nonprofit:
Room to Read seeks to transform the lives of millions of children in developing countries by focusing on literacy and gender equality in education. Working in collaboration with local communities, partner organizations and governments, we develop literacy skills and a habit of reading among primary school children, and support girls to complete secondary school with the relevant life skills to succeed in school and beyond.

This is an eBay Giving Works charitable listing (Administered by MissionFish)

Featured Cosplayers: Astarohime, Rei (Malro-doll), Ryoko (Ryoko-demon), Lune, Astellecia, Siera (Clamwings), K (K-chan009), Lillyxandra, Konoe, love-squad, Nek (neko-tin), Nichi, Green-Makakas, Kaikida

You can buy this calendar from Natalie’s Ebay… and if you do decide to buy one, please let me know how it turns out~ ^_^

Oh, and can anyone tell me which series the cosplayers are from so I can tag this in my blog properly please? I can only name a few… Thank you so much!

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!

Pokemon Advanced: Haruka and Kasumi

The female protagonists of the Pokemon series, May is the 10-year-old daughter of Petalburg City Gym Leader, Norman. She has a younger brother named Masato who is a budding Pokemon leader but far too young to receive his own pokemon yet. May starts out as a girl who doesn't like pokemon but found interest in participating in Pokemon Contests. Quite a difference to Kasumi, who dreams of becoming the World's Greatest Water Pokemon Trainer.

Cute pair aren't they? I never got to follow the Pokemon series all the way. I may have stopped after I saw the movie with Mewtwo in it. But anyway, beautiful cosplay!
