Touhou Project: Hakurei Reimu

Also known as the "Shrine Maiden of Paradise", Reimu is the shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine, a remote building set on the overlap between Gensokyo and the human world. She is naturally talented, but because she hates training and is somewhat lazy, her skills are only on average level. However, she has a strong sense of duty towards Gensokyo, and can therefore overcome any obstacle through sheer perseverance.

Cute cosplayer from MoeHaku 2010! I get the feeling I should check out Touhou Project, with all the cosplays its been getting lately. Thanks to Marisa for emailing this!

Sailor Moon: Sailor Venus

The fourth member of the Sailor Senshi discovered by Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus was actually the first to awaken to her powers and serves as the leader of the Guardian Senshi. Artemis, the white cat responsible for reviving Minako to her true self, explains that Venus and Earth are twin planets and she must protect Earth from its enemies. Minako is also the first to know about her old home, the Magellan Castle, orbiting around Venus.

Beautiful cosplayer from MoeHaku 2010! I'm quite surprised to see cosplays from this anime seeing that it first aired back in 1991! Thanks to 4chanatic for emailing me this!

Macross Frontier: Ranka Lee and Sheryl Nome

MoeHaku certainly has a lot of great looking cosplays.

I could be wrong, but I think these two are probably from Macross Frontier; Ranka Lee and Sheryl Nome respectively, minus the anime-colored hair. Since I'm not entirely sure, I decided to put them in the Unknown Section for now and see what you guys think.

Thanks to Macabre-hime for sending this in!

EDIT: Thank to Afiqah

Vampire Knight: Kuran Kaname 09

In recent chapters of Vampire Knight, it is revealed that Kaname was indeed, resurrected from the grave by his own descendant, Rido Kuran. It appears that Rido used Haruka and Juuri's first born son, who was also named Kaname, as a sacrifice in order to awaken his great ancestor, but little is known as to what actually took place during the ritual. Even more astonishing is the fact that Rido Kuran is still alive... perhaps it's because of Kaname's existence that he can continue living? After all, a servant can never hope to kill his master.

Singaporean cosplayer おくの (Okuno) who is also known as Mike is the man behind this Kaname cosplay. I must admit, I'm glad to see a guy cosplay him, as there are more girl cosplayers of Kaname. This feature is cropped from the originally photo submitted by Okuno himself! Thanks also to his photographer Tanlin for the gorgeous work! You can check out Okuno's Blog for more of his cosplay and otaku updates!

Soul Eater: Crona

The child of Medusa Gorgon, Crona is a Demon Sword Master whose weapon, Ragnarok, resides permanently in his/her body. He/she is androgynous in appearance, and is presented with an ambiguous gender throughout the series. Although there have been hints towards Crona’s gender in both directions, nothing definitive has been presented.

Beautiful cosplay! Although I’m not sure whose weapon is in the foreground of this photo since I’m not familiar with the series. Could it be Maka’s scythe? Thanks to Aerie for suggesting this!

Gyakuten Kenji: Kazura Himiko

Cool and collected to a point, Kazura Himiko (Calisto Yew) finds people who act seriously hilarious, especially Mitsurugi Reiji (Miles Edgeworth). 10 years ago, her younger sister, Yuuko (Cece) worked for the Amano Group and was exposed to various illegal activities. She was murdered before she could testify and Kazura thus used her position as a defense attorney to get information about the company behind it all.

I had to admit, I laughed a lot when I first saw this photo. ~Flowery certainly makes a convincing Yew, and I especially love her earrings. Thanks to Typhoon for sending this!

Bleach: Kyoraku Shunsui 02

Captain of the 8th Division, Kyoraku Shunsui is a peace-loving man who will always try to find a non-violent solution. He does not, however, insult his opponent by refusing an invitation to fight. He and Ukitake Jushiro are two of the oldest captains in Gotei 13 and were both trained under General Yamamoto.

Stunning cosplay by Inoli! I love the Katen Kyokotsu props, but what I found most impressive is that the cosplayer is actually a girl. Thanks again to Typhoon for sending this!
