My name is Yu!
I am a Japanese photographer specializing in cosplay photos in Japan. I have taken over 500K cosplay photos. To share wonderful cosplayers photos with all Cosplay fans, I launch the Cosplayjp blog. Hope you enjoy Japanese cosplay photos here.

Please let me know if you needed larger size than it on the site.

Coswari
I also run photo sessions of cosplay every week. I provide a space for both people who want to cosplay and take cosplay photos. We can see many cosplayers at big events like Comic Market. It’s difficult to take perfect photos there because there are many people around the cosplayers. Their frustration is here, “How can we remove the people around the cosplayers? I would like to just take a photo for one cosplayer, but so many photographers and onlookers are here.”

Here is the URL for ‘Coswari’ which means discount cosplay photo session.

Many different types of cosplayers join the events:)

If you needed any place to take cosplay pictures or join cosplay events when you come to Japan, please contact me! I would like to help you. I will introduce some OTAKU places. It’s my pleasure to make friends who loves Cosplay photos.

When you would like to use the photos on this site, please contact me before you publish it. I hold the rights of portrait of all cosplayers on this site.

Please contact me if you needed Japanese cosplay pictures.
I have more cosplay photos than on the site.

Since I join many cosplay and OTAKU events, I will be able to take various types of pictures. When you have any request, I accept your offer after we agree with a quotation.

    1. Thank you re-follow!
      Many in a friend are making costumes by themselves.

      But not everybody can necessarily do all needlework.
      There are also many friends who are making using double-stick tape.

      1. your very welcome 😀
        wow ! that’s great. it’s kinda hard to make the costume themselves.
        i can’t do needlework too.
        but, i want to study it, maybe with my grandma 😀

    I love looking at good cosplay photoshoots like yours, but guess I’m too shy to actually try once, heheh.
    Great work at posting everyday, that’s surely a lot of dedication you got there. Keep it up!

    1. I am shy too, but I have some friends who loves cosplay.
      Do you have anyone who cosplay?
      If they were friends,you would not feel shy to take their photos.
      If you come to a costume play event of Japan, You will be surprised at seeing them.

      1. Not really, actually most of my friends are not really interested in anime/manga so it’ll be difficult to ask them to join. There are few people I know that cosplay, but I’m too embarrassed to ask them about it ^^”

        Yeah, I’m interested to see cosplay events in Japan, it seems fun to see characters I recognize ‘come to life’ and many of those cosplays are very well made..

      2. Many cosplayers don’t tell their friends they do cosplay.
        They can meet their cosplay and cameramans’s friend at events.

        海外の方で仕事してみたいっていう夢があってｗ

      3. あぁ、埼玉に住んでるよね！なるほどねー！
