Touhou Project: Yamaxanadu Shikieiki

touhou project cosplay - yamaxanady shikieiki from winter comiket 2010One of the Yama who judge the dead, Shikieiki currently resides in Hell to sentence those who’ve traversed Higan and the Sanzu no Kawa. She is well known in Gensokyo for lecturing anyone and everyone about their faults, but it is unknown whether she genuinely wants others to change for the better or she simply has a habit of lecturing.

Beautiful cosplay from Winter Comiket 2010! I had a hard time trying to figure out which character she was, but the red and white ribbons gave quite a telling clue. Thanks to James for suggesting this!

Touhou Project: Kirisame Marisa

touhou project cosplay - kirisame marisa from winter comiket 2010A highly self-confident person, Kirisame Marisa is a human magician who likes to stick her nose into other people’s business out of curiosity. As a minion of Mima, Marisa was ordered to prevent Reimu from reaching her boss, but failed miserably. She has been working hard since then to try and catch up to Reimu with her secret training and magic development.

Beautiful cosplay from Winter Comiket 2010! I love the laces on her hat, and the ribbon on her braid adds a nice touch! Thanks to Abel for sending this!

Touhou Project: Flandre Scarlet

touhou project cosplay - flandre scarlet from comiket 2010Younger sister of Mistress Remilia Scarlet, Flandre is the “dirty little secret” of the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She has incredible destructive powers but she has little to no self-control due to her unstable personality. Thus, Remilia has ordered her never to step out of the mansion and she has had no substantive contact with any humans other than Izayoi Sakuya for nearly 500 years.

So cute! And so scary at the same time. I love how she’s got the personality down with her awesome cosplay. Thanks again to Ophelia for the photo!

Touhou Project: Remilia Scarlet

touhou project cosplay - remilia scarlet from comiket 2010Owner and head of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remilia is well known as the “Scarlet Devil” all throughout Gensokyo. She is the mistress of Izayoi Sakuya and Hong Meiling and the older sister and guardian of Flandre Scarlet. Like all vampires, she is photosensitive and therefore prefers to only to emerge at night.

So cute! And so fierce too! Really love the attitude she’s projecting in this photo. Thanks again to Wendy for sending this in!

Touhou Project: Hakurei Reimu 04

touhou project cosplay - hakurei reimu 04 from comiket 2010

One of the main characters of Touhou Project, Hakurei Reimu is easygoing, curious, and somewhat dutiful. She is the Shrine Maiden of Hakurei Shrine which probably explains why is is sympathetic towards many people. Reimu also tends to be overly optimistic, and her shrine has become a popular hangout for some of Gensokyo’s more interesting females.

Cute cosplayer! Certainly a rival for the previously featured Reimus. Thanks to Zero Haven for sending this!

Touhou Project: Cirno 02

touhou project cosplay - cirno 02 from comiket 2010Often called "⑨" (pronounced "nineball"), Cirno is a childlike ice fairy which ZUN labeled in the manual of Phantasmagoria of Flower View "⑨" as a symbol of "Baka" (Stupid). Arguably, she is not very bright due to her inexperience and age. She is considered to be the strongest of her kind, but is not a difficult opponent to defeat.

So cute! It looks like she might freeze something… or someone at any moment! Thanks to Ophelia for sending this in!

Touhou Project: Hakurei Reimu 03

touhou project cosplay - hakurei reimu 03I didn't realize how popular Touhou Project truly was until recently... Particularly Reimu since there are two cosplayers so far who chose this character in Winter Comiket 2009! Not that anyone is complaining, of course, since she's such a cute character! And she's in all of the Touhou games with the exception of Touhou 9.5.

Thanks again to 4chanatic for sending this in!

Touhou Project: Hakurei Reimu 02

touhou project cosplay - hakurei reimu 02Often teased by fans because of the way she's dressed, Reimu's main abilities include flying in the sky, good intuition, and getting along with everyone, even those who were once her enemies. She is characterized in the games by her homing amulets and yin-yang orbs. She is also featured in the games wherein ZUN is involved, notably Seihou: Shuushou Gyoku as one of the Extra Bosses and in Graffiti Kingdom as "Flying Maiden".

Cute cosplayer from Winter Comiket 2009! It appears I have more in my inbox then I originally thought. Thanks to SnooPeas for the photo!

Touhou Project: Hakurei Reimu

touhou project cosplay - hakurei reimuAlso known as the "Shrine Maiden of Paradise", Reimu is the shrine maiden of Hakurei Shrine, a remote building set on the overlap between Gensokyo and the human world. She is naturally talented, but because she hates training and is somewhat lazy, her skills are only on average level. However, she has a strong sense of duty towards Gensokyo, and can therefore overcome any obstacle through sheer perseverance.

Cute cosplayer from MoeHaku 2010! I get the feeling I should check out Touhou Project, with all the cosplays its been getting lately. Thanks to Marisa for emailing this!

Touhou Project: Izayoi Sakuya 02

touhou project cosplay - izayoi sakuyaThe only human living in Scarlet Mansion, Sakuya is the head maid who serves Remilia Scarlet. She specializes in cooking, knife throwing, and time manipulation, which possibly makes her older than she looks.

Another awesome cosplayer from Winter Comiket! I’m wondering if those knives are real. I mean, they look real, but conventions don’t allow dangerous items as props nowadays, right? In any case, thanks to the Fluffy Guy for sending this in!

Touhou Project: Izayoi Sakuya

unknown cosplay 033 from comiket 2009 - touhou project cosplay - izayoi sakuyaThere's always a fair amount of French Maid cosplays in Anime Conventions that I find it hard trying to keep up with all of them.

She looks like she's cosplaying a specific character with the details she put into her hair and the straps on her leg. I'm wondering if that clip on her apron was also done on purpose. Compared to the other French maid cosplayer I feature a while back, I think she'll be easier to guess.

Any takers?

EDIT: Thanks to anonymous for leaving a comment saying this is Izayoi Sakuya of Touhou Project! I hope people leave their names next time, though.

Touhou Project: Cirno

Ok, guys? Thank you so much for flooding me with this year's Comiket pictures. There are so many that I really have no idea who the real source of the pictures are, so please do let me know if you're the photographer or the cosplayer and I will gladly link back to your site, thank you!

And I will feature as many as I possibly can, too!

touhou project cosplay - cirno from comiket 2009

Or Cirno would be very mad at me.

She is the stage 2 boss of Touhou Project, the ice fairy that lives on the lake surrounding Scarlet Devil Mansion. Don't let her cute looks fool you, as her hobbies include freezing frogs and watching them revive as they thaw out. That is, if she doesn't shatter them to pieces first.

Awesome cosplay... and it would be nice to see the Hiiragi Tsukasa and Hiiragi Kagami's photos too, if anyone has it?

Touhou Project: Onozuka Komachi

touhou project cosplay - onozuka komachiA shinigami who doesn't seem to take her job seriously, Komachi is often scolded by her boss, Sikeiki Yamaxanadu for her poor performance. She is the counterpart of Greek Mythology's Charon, Hades' ferryman, as she guides the souls of the newly deceased across the Sanzu River. Her attacks come in the form of holed coins, as these seem to be the payment the souls need to move on from the world of the living to the world of the dead.

She's a little too adorable to be working as a ferryman- or ferrywoman, if she prefers that title. Maybe that's why she doesn't take her job very seriously? Cute cosplay though!
