Bleach: Soi Fon 03

Captain of the 2nd Division and current Commander in Chief of the Secret Mobile Corps known as Onmitsukido, Soi Fon is a hard worker who believes strongly in following orders. She applies similar battle techniques to her master, Shihoin Yoruichi, engaging her opponents by using hand-to-hand combat with Shunko abilities. After asking Yoruichi why she did not take her when she left Soul Society, Yoruichi’s answer was not heard, but the two made amends.

Beautiful Soi Fon cosplay! I really love everything about this photo, and she’s also one of my favorite characters in Bleach! Thanks to Yukino for sending this and to Delques for sharing it!

HeartCatch PreCure!: Cure Marine

People would think that after all these years of writing for this cosplay blog that I would know a lot about different characters from anime, manga and games.

Well, you’d be wrong, because I get surprises like this in my inbox quite often!

To be completely honest, the first character that came to mind when I saw this was Sailor Mercury from Sailor Moon… a stylized version of her anyway! But I’m pretty sure this is not the case.

You guys know the drill, comment and discuss who she could be in the comments, but I hope you guys can leave your name next time so that I can credit you properly if you guess right! So many anonymous comments… I wonder if it’s because they don’t want people to know that they’re reading Cosplay Holic? In any case, thanks to Paton Saint for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to St. Arcana among many others for letting me know this is Cure Marine from HeartCatch PreCure!

Digimon: Angewomon 02

Gatomon’s natural Ultimate Form, Angewomon first appeared at the sacrifice of Wizardmon during the final battle against Myotismon. She is rivals with LadyDevimon though their rivalry is more of a personal, feminine level. Like Angemon, Angewomon is considerably more powerful than other ultimate level digimon.

Beautiful Angewomon cosplay! And I’m guessing fans will not mind that she’s not wearing her valkyrie helmet. Thanks to Jocelyn for sending this in!

Final Fight: Poison

Poison first appeared in the side-scrolling action game known as Final Fight. The character was originally planned to be female, but was changed to a male transvestite due to the suggestion that hitting women were considered rude in America during the game’s release. When asked about the matter, Street Fighter IV’s producer Ono Yoshinori stated:

“Let's set the record straight: In North America, Poison is officially a post-op transsexual. But in Japan, she simply tucks her business away to look female.”

Interesting information on this character that I’ve never even heard of. Hope that doesn’t scare her fans away… Thanks to Michelle for sharing this!

EDIT: Thanks to fang_shinobi for letting me know the cosplayer is ~H-a-Z-y from Deviant Art! Please view the original work here.

Black Rock Shooter: Black Rock Shooter 03

A character that was labeled as a black clad Hatsune Miku, Black Rock Shooter became her own entity on September 20, 2009. Crypton, the company that created Miku, announced that Black Rock Shooter has no relation with the Vocaloid character.

Black Rock Shooter is 15-years-old and is well known for her massive projectile weapons. The Black Canon can shoot up to 20 rocks per second, but she is also seen with a sword known as the Black Blade.

I think that’s a rather unique interpretation of the blue flame erupting from her eye. As the contributor Fernandez said, “this cosplay’s sizzling hot”!

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Hanyu

I have a feeling I know who she's cosplaying as, but the name of the series escapes me.

I’m guessing she’s a demon because of those horns, but isn’t she wearing a miko’s kimono as well? Or maybe a variation of the traditional shrine maiden?

I can’t help thinking she looks a lot like Kagami from Lucky Stars though.

Guesses are greatly appreciated!

EDIT: Thanks to Sachi for commenting this is Hanyu from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni!
