Sailor Moon: Tuxedo Mask

“Tuxedo Mask” is a disguise Chiba Mamoru created for himself in order to hunt for the Silver Crystal incognito. He later used this persona to assist the Sailor Senshi in battle. It was revealed in the series that he takes the place of Sailor Earth, the only male Senshi in the group.

I didn’t know that about Tuxedo Mask. I knew he was from Earth, but I didn’t think of him much as a Senshi. Awesome cosplay by Twin Fools and photography by Miko Piko!

Sailor Moon: Sailor Jupiter 02

One of the most consistent characters in Sailor Moon, Sailor Jupiter is depicted as simultaneously the most masculine and most feminine of the younger Senshi. She is tall, strong, and practices martial arts and other sports, but she is also an excellent cook and house-cleaner. As Makoto, she also joined cooking and gardening clubs in her high school.

Cute cosplay by Arisa Mizuhara! It’s been a while since I’ve last featured her. Thanks to Faith for sending this!

Sailor Moon R: Moonlight Knight

At the end of the first arc, everyone’s memories were hidden so that Tsukino Usagi’s wish to become a normal girl could be granted. Such was the case for Chiba Mamoru but he subconsciously still wanted to protect Usagi so strongly that his memories separated from him and reformed into the Moonlight Knight. Although Moonlight Knight can co-exist with Mamoru in the same space and time, Moonlight Knight rejoined Mamoru when he regained his memories and Moonlight Knight disappeared forever.

Impressive cosplay! I didn’t think there were still a lot of fans from this meta series, but seeing Raven cosplayed Moonlight Knight in Sakura Con 2010, I guess I was wrong. Thanks to Rachael Masako for sharing this!

Sailor Moon S: Sailor Neptune 04

Kaio Michiru is the Senshi most associated with the arts, having known skills in playing the violin, swimming, as well as painting. In Sailor Moon S, Michiru appears as temptation for Mamoru, parallel to Haruka appearing as temptation for Usagi. She has never made any advances on Mamoru, but Usagi is still jealous whenever she sees them together.

Sailor Moon: Sailor Moon

A schoolgirl in 20th Century Tokyo, Usagi is a well-intentioned, underachieving crybaby who prefers the life of a normal teenage girl. While fighting the evils of her past life as Sailor Moon, Usagi quickly matures and learns to make decisions for herself, becoming a true princess of the fallen Moon Kingdom.

At least, that’s how she is in the original manga!

I know she's Sailor Moon, but I'm a little confused as to which season from the metaseries she's from. Her hairclips make it look like she's from SuperS, but I don’t think the sleeves are right. And gold armbands? I’m really confused. Thanks again to Pikori for sending this, though!

Sailor Moon S: Sailor Mars, Sailor Chibi Moon, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Jupiter

The third installment of the Sailor Moon Saga, Sailor Moon S is considered to be one of the darkest story lines, partly due to the Death Busters’ ultimate goal of destroying all life and partly due to ethical themes of sacrifice. Chibiusa, Usagi’s daughter, returns with her own powers as Sailor Chibi Moon and fights along side her mother and the other Sailor Senshi.

Beautiful cosplays! I’m just wondering why there are only four senshi’s instead of the usual five or six, Sailor Mercury and Sailor Venus included. Maybe the rest were walking around Comiket at the time? Thanks to Misa for sending this!

Sailor Moon R: Black Lady

Once Chibiusa returned to the future with Sailor Moon, Wiseman captured her and twisted her memories of her family in order to make her do as he wishes. Lonely and full of guilt, Chibiusa was infected with the Black Crystal and grew older, donning the earrings and crescent of the Black Moon Clan. She went so far as to seduce her future father, Chiba Mamoru, and attempted to destroy the Senshi for their insensitivity towards her.

Beautiful cosplay! I love the photography on this and such an awesome wig! Great work! Thanks to Ingrid for the email!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know this is Neko-Tin from Deviant Art!

Sailor Moon: Sailor Venus

The fourth member of the Sailor Senshi discovered by Sailor Moon, Sailor Venus was actually the first to awaken to her powers and serves as the leader of the Guardian Senshi. Artemis, the white cat responsible for reviving Minako to her true self, explains that Venus and Earth are twin planets and she must protect Earth from its enemies. Minako is also the first to know about her old home, the Magellan Castle, orbiting around Venus.

Beautiful cosplayer from MoeHaku 2010! I'm quite surprised to see cosplays from this anime seeing that it first aired back in 1991! Thanks to 4chanatic for emailing me this!

Sailor Moon S: Sailor Chibi Moon

The outgoing daughter of Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Chibi Moon dreams of becoming a beautiful lady one day. She is a perfectionist who prefers to do things alone so she can have her way. As the series progresses, she learns to open herself more, learning what true maturity really is.

I didn’t think anyone could get her hair to look quite that right. But I think I like her red eyes more than anything! Very convincing cosplay, and it even has Konata’s stamp of approval! Great work!

Sailor Stars: Princess Kakyuu

The princess of Kinmoku who escaped to earth when Sailor Galaxia attacked, Princess Kakyuu is said to smell of sweet osmanthus, which is the recurring motif of her design. There are different versions with regards to her storyline in the anime and manga, but she is similar to Sailor Moon as she also has her own senshi, the Sailor Starlights.

The cosplayer looks like a doll in this photo. I’m guessing proper make-up and lighting gave that effect. Beautiful work!

Sailor Stars: Sailor Cosmos

A character that only appeared in the manga, Sailor Cosmos is said to be the ultimate form of Sailor Moon. She comes from the future as an infant named “Chibi-Chibi” to encourage Usagi to defeat Chaos in the final battle. She initially wanted to destroy the Galaxy Cauldron altogether, but Sailor Moon protests when she realized no stars will be born if the Cauldron is destroyed. Sailor Moon’s sacrifice reminded her of the strength and courage she needed, returning to the future with renewed hope.

Beautiful cosplay! I always thought she was far more beautiful than Sailor Moon. Then again, she and Sailor Moon may be one and the same. What do you guys think?

Sailor Moon Musicals: Sailor Uranus, Sailor Pluto, and Sailor Neptune

Also known as the “Outer Senshi”, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Pluto, and Sailor Neptune form a secondary group, along with Sailor Saturn. Previously, all of them preferred to work alone, but Sailor Uranus was able to trust Sailor Neptune and Sailor Pluto after fighting along side with them.

Sailor Pluto is known as the Guardian of Time, while Sailor Neptune is the Soldier of Ocean, and Sailor Uranus is the Soldier of the Sky.

I’m not even sure if they are cosplayers or the official cast of the musical, but they are very pretty. Thanks to Soyoungim for the photo!

Sailor Moon: Princess Serenity 03

Through 3 different adaptations of the series, Princess Serenity's death has been portrayed in 3 different ways. In the original manga, the young princess commits suicide when Prince Endymion died protecting her during Moon Kingdom's downfall. In the anime, both perished in the attack, while in the live action series, it was the Princess herself that destroyed Moon Kingdom out of grief, as Endymion was killed during the war to keep the two apart.

It doesn't really matter how you're heard her story, I'm pretty sure a lot of people still know Sailor Moon, even after all these years. However, I'm surprised someone is still cosplaying her in Comiket! And such a beutiful dress too. Nice cosplaying!

Sailor Moon: Princess Serenity 02

My apologies for the lack of updates lately. It seems that there have been some hot-linking of images in Cosplay Holic, and I had to change image servers. I'm still in the process of migrating images so it will take up a lot of time.

However, I've also been able to find some beautiful cosplays. This one of Princess Serenity, for example. Her dress is really well made and the materials used are just perfect for the Moon Princess.

Although I must admit, it does lack the sleeve, but nevertheless, still a fitting rival for the previous cosplayer I've posted. Excellent work!

EDIT: Thank you to the commenter for letting me know the cosplayer is Saraqael from Deviant Art!

Sailor Moon: Sailor Mars

Hino Rei is a miko or priestess in her grandfather's temple, the Hiwaka shrine. She is the second Sailor Senshi that Sailor Moon found at the beginning of the series when she and Luna were looking for the Moon Princess. She has the ability to control fire and uses various psychic abilities she had learned as part of being a priestess.

Despite her beauty and elegance, Rei has no interest in men. This is due to the fact that Rei had no respectable men in her life, aside from her grandfather. In a short manga story "Casablanca Memories" however, Rei is shown to have a love interest with her father's secretary, Kaidou. He is her father's messenger who would bring her gifts for her birthday which consists of a white dress and a bouquet of Casablanca, her favorite flower.

Beautiful cosplay! Not a lot of people can get Sailor Mars right, but this cosplayer was able to nail it! It makes me wonder if she is actually the actress from the Sailor Moon Live Action Series... Hm...

Sailor Moon S: Sailor Saturn 02

After being reborn thanks to the power of Sailor Moon, Sailor Saturn (aka Tomoe Hotaru) becomes adopted and cared for by Teno Haruka and Kaioh Michiru as well as Meioh Setsuna. As a toddler, Hotaru had a habit of calling Sailor Uranus, "Hakura-papa" even though she is actually female. Similarly, Hotaru called her other two guardians as "Michiru-mama" and "Setsuna-mama".

I love this image of Malro cosplaying Sailor Saturn! This was sent in by a frequent reader, Syaoyue via email. Thanks for the contribution!

Sailor Moon: Kino Makoto

The most independent among the Sailor Senshi, Makoto is among the tallest girls in the group, an unusual trait to which she is often teased about. In the beginning of the series, she transfers to Azabu Juban Junior High, Usagi’s school, and she is allowed by the school administration to wear her previous school’s uniform since they couldn’t provide her with a uniform her size.

Despite being tomboyish and physically strong, Makoto is actually very gentle and loves to cook and do gardening. One of her signature looks is her rose earrings, which she retains even after transforming into Sailor Jupiter.

A cute and simple cosplay. I really like Makoto’s uniform as compared to the other characters. She does Makoto justice, good job!

Sailor Moon S: Sailor Neptune 02

The “Miss Congeniality” of the Sailor Senshi, Kaioh Michiru, whom is commonly referred as Sailor Neptune is a polite, calm, and sophisticated person who is very intelligent and gifted in art and music. She is often seen along side Teno Haruka (Sailor Uranus) to which several controversies have sprung from.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen pretty Senshi cosplayers. I’ve only got to see a couple of episodes of Sailormoon S, but I heard it was the best of the series. Anyway, great work on this! I really like her wig and eyes. It’s quite perfect, don’t you think?

Sailor Moon: Princess Serenity

The headstrong daughter of Silver Millennium’s Queen who bares the same name, Princess Serenity often explored the earth to admire its greenery even though it was forbidden. There, she met and fell in love with the Crown Prince of the Earth, Prince Endymion.

In the manga, when Queen Materia attacked the Moon Kingdom, Prince Endymion died protecting Princess Serenity, and she committed suicide in her grief. In the anime, however, they were both killed, and later resurrected on the Earth in the coming 20th Century.

I actually find the use of yellow eye shadow most interesting in this cosplay. Quite a rival for Usagi’s cosplay, don’t you think?

Sailor Moon Supers: Helios / Pegasus

The Guardian and Priest of Elysion, Helios has different roles in the Sailor Moon Anime and Manga series. The manga shows Helios to be a simple priest who can transport himself between worlds. A curse was placed on him by Nehellenia, forcing him to become part of his favorite horse, Pegasus. He is also portrayed as Chibiusa’s future prince.

In the anime, however, Helios willingly became Pegasus and lends his power to Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi Moon to attack Lemures. He is also the Guardian of the Golden Crystal; unlike in the manga, where he guards Elysion and not the Golden Crystal directly.

So pretty. I miss watching Sailor Moon. Perhaps it’s about time I pick it up again…
