Some cosplay gear for folks who don't like getting hot n sweaty in a stuffy kigurumi.
Pikachoo, Astro kid and Doraimon.
Via Zaeega.

Speaking of Doraemon - Cantonese Doraemon below.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

That's kind of frightening....
It reminds me of someone I knew that cosplayed in something that looked similar to that Pikachu costume back at AX, he ended up getting kicked out for wearing it.

    Yup. Best to listen to both languages while wondering what they've done to Doraemon. >< All I can say in their defense is, uh...at least they tried with the camera angles?

OMFG! I just saw something almost exactly like this in REAL LIFE earlier today!

I understand AstroBoy... but Pikachu and Doraemon?! Especially with that white pouch exactly on that area!

Girl: I need something from your pocket
Doraemon: What is it?
Girl: Oh, let me get it instead!

...EEEEK!
