NARUTO
Name of the character that you are performing in the Championship
Naruto Uzumaki
When did you start doing cosplay?
2005
Manga, anime or games that you like
Naruto is the series I've loved the longest, and I tend to enjoy other shonen manga and anime. But I also really love horror manga, especially the work of Junji Ito. I tend to like anime that involve spirits, such as Natsume Yuujinchou, xxxHolic, and more recently, Jujutsu Kaisen. For games, my favorite franchises include Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and The Legend of Zelda.
How many costumes do you have now?
I've lost count of how many cosplays I've done over the years but currently I have around 15 costumes that I have really kept well-maintained and are better in quality because I put them together more recently.
What is Japan for you?
Japan is a source of inspiring culture, both traditional and contemporary. Of course I enjoy pop culture, but even in other aspects of my life such as illustration and fashion, I find that I resonate with a lot of Japanese concepts and aesthetics. I have not had a chance to go yet, but when I see Japan through different media, sometimes I have this unexplainable feeling of nostalgia for this place I've never been to.
