Costume Background: Azumanga Daioh is my favorite animé series. Choosing which character to cosplay as from that series is made easier by the fact I am male and there is only one main male character in the series. Victoria was cosplaying as Osaka and Sakaki, so I had a high school girl to compliment the costume. I found someone selling Chiyo Daddy Hats at Ani-Magic 2003 so I bought one to add to the costume. Printed an "Azumanga Daioh" logo, glued it to some poster board, and will have it on me to mimic his appearance from the first episode of the TV series. Then Victoria decided to cosplay "My Wife" for Animé Overdose. Is this a prediction of something to come?

Comments: Kimura-Sensei is so fun to cosplay. I love My Wife.
