China COSPLAY

COSPLAY time later introduced to China, Taiwan has documented the first COSPLAY in August 27, 1995, Kaohsiung SAGAWORLD located on the first floor, it seems that the size was not large, and the characters are mostly the main characters in video games. After that the October 13, 1996, Taipei, Baby Bear restaurant by the "Super Orange Group" held an autumn party, although widely publicized before the meeting, people know there are many, but still smaller scale. This situation has been in effect until mid-February 1997, held three consecutive events, COSPLAY more than the number of people started up, and also from the formation of the Taiwan COSPLAY community features.

Thus, after the screening began in Taiwan COSPLAY the increase year after year, the venue also from the north to the south-central phenomenon of the development of Taiwan's popular COSPLAY activity level, can thus be seen a group. Hong Kong COSPLAY time there seems earlier than Taiwan, Hong Kong reported the first in 1993 have their COSPLAY. At that time Hong Kong has no doujinshi for sale that will, in general, my colleagues at the Hong Kong community is through the arts festival held every year to carry out the exhibition and sales venues, but it is in that year (ie 1993) called "Four hundred feet," a fan organization put on the "Legend of Galactic Heroes" appears in the uniform of the military alliance at the venue, this group of people who became Hong Kong's first COSPLAY. The next year, the same venue they played the same allies, but this time they brought another group name "UVRZ" of colleagues playing a role-playing community together. Those "UVRZ" put on the female members of the Japanese witch ladies, stick to the scene with the Witch of visitors to pray.
95 years, "Four hundred feet," play "mobile police" role, "UVRZ" in the year, has begun to play a role in a number of a named ACG, for example, "Ranma 1 / 2" in Ukyo or "My Venus "in the Tony Lu Dandy. 96 years from the beginning "Four hundred feet," Societies do not start to retire any COSPLAY, but at the same time the rest of my colleagues playing community is beginning to come dressed in clothing, the number of Hong Kong industry has been driven forces COSPLAY straight.
Shortly after this, our first doujinshi is sold by the "UVRZ", "ComicBabies" and "Fire Dog House", offer (but only one, then Hong Kong will no longer had such a star in) Of course, once again expanded during COSPLAY influence in Hong Kong.
Influence year by year because of expansion, the Hong Kong Association of comics began 98 years 30 July to 3 August is held the first real comic book fans animation exhibition, at the time admission to 25 Hong Kong dollars. Reported in this exhibition COSPLAY is the hottest one ever, many people played a Iori, Caoti other fighting games role. And that was our first time COSPLAY Competition - "FUNFUN clothing drag Contest" winner is the one dressed up as "Saint Biography" dry up woman king girl.
After that SE Corporation, TG Fang, and Hong Kong Art Supplies Professional in 98 years on August 30 on the Macpherson Indoor Stadium organized the first ComicWorld. For the first time in the venue is divided into a "dress for a photo zone" to facilitate the participation of people who take pictures. What most surprised that even people who have begun at the time COSPLAY from "InuYasha" again! ? In the following recent years, between the University community have gradually started to show up prominently in another sector of Hong Kong COSPLAY active site. In contrast continent COSPLAY later, until 1998, China offered only some sporadic diffuse spontaneous development of the personal COSPLAY show, but not before a certain amount of doujinshi that will sell. So is there COSPLAY, the scarce number is also very strange.
However, due to Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong's mature COSPLAY three mainland COSPLAY to the rapid and stable growth, and in August 2000 China successfully held the first COSPLAY competition. In the subsequent year by virtue of italian company has a network to help its enormous influence on the game, name of its main product, "Stone Age" label offered "the best stone COSPLAY contest in 2001." At the same time as Shanghai, Guangzhou and Beijing in recent years in areas such as frequent and colleagues in the start-up cosplay convention, Er Shi COSPLAY mainland now also has a certain degree of scale. Because the mainland in recent years, game coverage and the impact of foreign animation, more people began to like COSPLAY, is now online with the "Naruto" - Yu Zhi Bo Ferret
COSPLAY species groups in people's attention. ("Paladin" series was a lot of domestic COSer imitation. And foreign well-known animation and games, such as "Naruto", "Death," "InuYasha," "rebellious Lulu repair," "The Prince of Tennis" etc.) can now COSPLAY minors participated.
