The one in kneeling in front is Cloud from FFVII, and in the back from left to right (our left):
Sephiroth from FFVII
Hitsugaya Toushirou from Bleach
Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club... ?
Lavi from D.Gray-man

And the rest? I have absolutely no idea. :sweatdrop

Interesting story. That would have been amazing to attend. :D

1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Cosplay around the world is become more prevalent, but it is still rare to see people traveling to other countries to compete. I would venture that only cosplayers of high skill level would attempt this.

There is also an international cosplay group...but it is highly contested in the cosplay community as being an elitist clique; more of a self-promoting fan club than an actual cosplay group.


As a side note: many cosplayers from Japan have AMAZING costumes, partly because they are able to get corporate sponsors for their hobby. Far out, eh?
