Anime Los Angeles, a convention featuring live entertainment, industry panels, and more, kicked off at the Long Beach Convention and Entertainment Center on Thursday, Jan. 4.
Curlyheadshinobi fell in love with cosplay after her friends convinced her to attend Momocon with them. She immediately fell in love with cosplay, its community, and the convention scene, and has been cosplaying since 2019. You can check out her story below.
How do you decide what you’re going to cosplay?
It’s usually based on a character I like from a show, anime, or game. I have a list of cosplays I want to do that constantly grows but sometimes it’s how I’m feeling in that moment, what’s going on in pop culture, relevancy, suggestions from followers, or if a holiday is coming up.
