Japanese COSPLAY

At this moment in Japan, since 1947, according to Sakai comic god Osamu Tezuka adapted from the original seven Red Data Book of Horse comic book, "New Treasure Island" hard-edged, and in Japan, set off a new wave of comics. Thus creating the Japanese throughout the ACG (Anime, Comic, Game) market, and prosperity, so as to truly establish the ACG in the position of Japan has laid a solid foundation. Just being at this time, Disney is the kind of publicity for the activities (COSPLAY) was introduced to Japan, there ACG industry enthusiasts from the imitation, the result is a growing trend, has become the norm in Japan now ACG community activities.

Japanese COSPLAY first three years in the Showa period (1955 AD), when the children called their game COSPLAY merely a dress between. Remember exactly the year, "Moonlight Mask" and "juvenile Jeter" to play in Japan Praised years, so many children at the time that these two works COSPLAY hero.
Although children at this time is purely between COSPLAY stuff, but still quite particular about the clothing, of course, the prerequisite is to have money. The Japanese COSPLAY no special clothing shop, the children and the animation if you want to have the same clothes, then the hero must first asked people to draw on good design drawings, and then go department store asked people to sew.
