Princess Tutu: Princess Tutu and Princess Kraehe

Rivals in winning the love and favor of Prince Mytho, Princess Tutu will stop at nothing to retrieve her beloved Prince’s shattered heart, while Princess Kraehe will stop at nothing to prevent returning his heart shards fearing she will lose him to someone else. Princess Tutu loved the Prince unselfishly and, despite knowing she would disappear once she confesses her love for him, fulfilled her duty that he may find true happiness and smile once more. Incidentally, Princess Kraehe loved the Prince ever since childhood, as the Prince once defended her from the Ravens.

Two Princesses who love the same Prince in different yet similar ways. Twins Genki-uHinagiku and Miaka2u are the cosplayers behind the lovely Princesses. They apparently spent more than 500 hours each on their costumes with beautiful results!

First debuted in AWA 2009! To view more of their photos, please visit their Live Journal post. Thanks to Rashaka for sending this in!

Pokemon: Satoshi

In the beginning of the hit anime series Pokemon, Ash Ketchum is only 10-years-old and started out as a beginner Pokemon trainer in Pallet town. He failed in receiving one of the three Pokemon (Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle) Professor Oak was giving to hopeful youngsters because he was too busy dreaming about becoming a world famous Pokemon trainer. His eagerness made Professor Oak consider giving Ash his last remaining Pokemon, the unruly and now infamous Pikachu for his starter Pokemon, allowing Ash to begin his journey.

Awesome cosplay! I love how much the cosplayer paid attention to the details of Ash’s costume down to the plush Pikachu! I have one exactly like it, but I doubt I could cosplay Ash just as well. Thanks to Tamari for sending this in!
