Introduction


Hi I welcome you to my blog, allow me to introduce my self what will happen on this blog account and what'll be done. My name is V-Chan I am a cosplayer and a performer of a wonderful art known as Kigurumi. Kigurumi is the Japanese name for costumed performers who are dressed as cartoon or anime characters. The name comes from the Japanese verb "kiru" (to wear) and the noun nuigurumi. Kigurumi performers often appear at shopping malls, theme parks, anime conventions, and stage shows, the characters at Disney World, or even the sports mascots you see at sporting events are all kigurumi. More often then not, kigurumi in Japan is used more as a job to help support children's shows, or advertise a product. One of the most popular forms of kigurumi is Animegao kigurumi. Animegao kigurumi literally translates to "anime face". A kigurumi consists of 2 major pieces, a flesh-tone colored bodysuit called a zentai or Hadatai, and the mask that covers the performers head. In order to complete the illusion, both the zentai and mask must be worn. When wearing the kigurumi and performing, you are no longer yourself but the character you wish to portray. My Kigurumi will be known as Claire Rieva a beautiful Blond who is a battle Strategist for a nation known as Blue Moon (Advance Wars) She is energetic and spunky girl of her nation. In the near months Claire will arrive at my house and I'll be posting photos of Claire once she is able to present her self. Once photos have been taken I'll share them here with my fellow bloggers and continue from there. Well my bloggers I hope this entry gives you some sense of what'll be happening with this blog account.
