I’ve always been a fan of Japanese Anime for as long as I can remember; my favorites being classic series like Dragonball Z, Street Fighter, and hell, why not even throw Pokemon in the mix! I was heading home from work in the Shimao area on October 25th, 2015 when I caught wind of another unadvertised-to-the-English-speaking-expat-population-in-Kunshan event going on at the Kunshan Convention & Exhibition Center. There were numerous groups of locals heading into the building that were cloaked in everything from bright, neon colored wigs, fishnet stockings, and lengthy wardrobes to maid uniforms and full Halloween-esque costumes equipped with prop swords. You guessed it; it was a cosplay event.
I had never had the chance to check out Cosplay culture in China, and I had got a small whiff of it the lifestyle during my brief visit to the Harajuku area in Tokyo, Japan. So, I figured I’d pay the overpriced entry fee of 45 RMB to check it out. Here’s a taste of how it looked inside.
