The Perks: He's a chain-smoking student with a Kansai accent... what's not to like about him? I get to carry my shotgun around. I don't have to dress up like the rest of the BR crowd.
The Problems: Most conventions are frowning on airsoft guns now. Not all of that blood is paint.
The SCARY: I accidentally wore this costume to Border's after FANIME ended. Oddly enough, I was there to pick up the Battle Royale novel.
Memorable Quote- Self:
"I love my shotgun."
"I need more blood."
"Stupid needle pricked me." (Wipes blood onto the shirt)
"Battle Royale cosplay? Naw, I got injured at the Dealer Room
trying to buy the last Naruto forehead protector."
"My father was a doctor/cook/fisherman/(whatever profession is appropriate
at the time)."
Memorable Quote- Others:
"Tell them 'My father
was a cosplayer.'"
"Nice gun!"
Costume Background: I've been a fan of BR since I saw it at Fanime 2002. I wanted to cosplay as one of the regular students but none of them interested me. After seeing Enishi as Kiriyama, I decided to cosplay the other transfer student Kawada.
Comments:
The shotgun cost more than all
the other parts combined. I'll add more blood and other signs of wear and tear
the more I cosplay him.
Traveling Valentine now cosplays as the lovely couple Keiko and Kawada.
