It was not until 1984 that the term
cosplay was invented. It has the
combination of the words 'costume'
and 'play'. This was created by the
Japanese reporter, Nobuyuki
Takahashi, after he attended World-
con in Los Angeles. A popular activ-
ity among adults who practice dress-
ing up as a character from a movie,
book, or video game, especially one
from the Japanese genres of manga
and anime.
Reasons why cosplays are worn:
1.) To take pride in ones own crea-
tion
2.) To wear something out of the
ordinary (societies restrictions on
what is allowable to be worn every
day is bland)
3.) To show support and/or interest
in an anime/manga/videogame
4.) Self-expression. Often the char-
acter that is chosen to be cosplayed
mirrors the actual person wearing
the cosplay. The person's personali-
ty is like the character Not the
other way around (the person wants
to be the character).
5.) To get into the spirit
6.) To have fun
