If I had to take a guess, two characters come to mind: Suzumiya Haruhi from The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi or Hirasawa Yui from K-On! It’s because her hair is similar to both characters, but the kimono reminds me Kinomoto Sakura from an episode in Card Captor Sakura.

What do you guys think? Maybe we should vote on it? Thanks again to Miguel for sending this!

She’s probably one of the booth girls at Comiket 2010 who isn’t really cosplaying any character in particular, but you have to admit, she’s got a really great smile. And she’s so cute that I can’t help but feature her on Cosplay Holic.

Anyone have any idea what company she’s representing at least? Thanks again to Tamia for suggesting this!

I've seen a lot of gothic lolita in conventions before, so it’s no surprise that Comiket would have a lot of them too! I’m hoping this kitty girl is from an anime, manga, or game because I really love her overall design!

Not to mention that she’s such an adorable cosplayer too!

Does anyone have any guesses? Thanks to Triscia for suggesting this!

Now this girl looks like someone who came out of Ragnarok Online. But I’ve never played the game before, so I can’t be sure, especially with all the character upgrades they’ve done over the years!

She does remind me of the Gypsy character though… I wonder if that’s an accurate guess? Please help me out, guys! Thanks again to Gundamu for the photo!

To be completely honest, I’m not even sure if she’s cosplaying at all. I mean, I think girls who wear kimonos are just as common in anime conventions as girls who were seifuku and French Maid uniforms.

So, other than Dragon Ball’s Super Saiyan Son Goku in the background, I have no idea… Thanks to Amelia for sending this in!

I originally thought this cosplayer was from the game Steins;Gate because she is holding a pamphlet featuring Makise Kurisu on the cover. I think I am sadly mistaken, because I wasn’t able to find any character listed that bears the same description.

Anyone have a better idea? Thanks to Femi for sending this!

So many great cosplays from Comiket this year… I don’t think I can keep up with my emails any more.

In any case! I’m wondering about this particular photo. The first character that came to mind was Tosaka Rin from Fate/Stay Night. I think she wore a maid uniform in Ataraxia or Zero, but I think her skirt was a lot longer in that series.

Anyone have a better idea? Thanks again to Bennihime for sending this!

This cosplayer's outfit is certainly unique. It reminds me of a captain’s uniform in the Gundam series and a futuristic French maid of some sort. Maybe the fan she’s carrying holds some kind of clue to her identity?

The illustration of a girl behind her looks scarily intimidating as well… Anyone have a good guess? Thanks to Wendy for sending this in!

There are probably a lot of French Maids in Comiket 2010. This is one of the many cute designs I've come across.

She somehow reminds me of 2k-tan, one of the personified Operating Systems aka OS-Tan. But I remember Windows ME to be the one who wears maid outfits, so I’m not certain. She could be a random otaku who likes wearing cute dresses, I suppose.

I really like her outfit though. And her shoes.

Thoughts?

Thanks to Femi for sending this!

I was told there were several of these girls dressed like flight attendants in Winter Comiket 2009. According to Mike, the contributor of today's feature, she's "the cutest one in the bunch. Not that all of them weren't cute actually."

Since this is the only photo I have, I can't judge that. Maybe it's because she's wearing her hair in semi-pigtails that it made her stand out?

Anyway, if anyone has any guesses, I'd be glad to hear them! Thanks again to Mike for the contribution!

This is a school girl cosplay from MoeHaku 2010, and I think it would be awesome if she was just a regular girl browsing around in the event, wouldn't it?

Until I can confirm that though, I'm putting her in the Unknown Section. There's a school emblem on her jacket; maybe people from Japan can tell me what school it's from at least?

Thanks to Fanimae for sending this in!

I realized there were a lot of resolved cosplays in the Unknown Section, so with the start of the new year, I'd like to introduce the Unraveled Section; where all cosplays I didn't know about are properly labeled thanks to my readers! Now you guys can check out the Unknown Section and see all the cosplays that still need solving!

On to the photo of the week! Pigtails, Japanese school girl uniform, and a katana. I wouldn’t want to cross her, but who is she anyway? Anyone have any good guesses?

This cute girl might be some Japanese girl who is on her way to the festival or something like that. Does she happen to resemble any character you know?

I recall having seen a character with a similar hairstyle as her’s… short, brown twintails… I think it was a game of some sort with the word “Dragon” on it, but I’m not sure.

Thoughts?

So technically, this week’s unknown cosplay is actually "known". But I’m a little confused.

From the site info, this is Shiki Senri, Kaname’s younger cousin who works as a model along side Rima. But I asked a few people and they think he looks more like Kuran Kaname himself despite the red hair.

So I leave it up to you guys to decide. Is he cosplaying as Shiki, or as Kaname?

Thanks to andyRak for sharing the photo!

It’s that time of the week again! I’d like to thank everyone for helping out with trying to find out where these characters featured in Unknown are from; it’s all very much appreciated! Keep those guesses coming!

This one I think looks like Kinomoto Sakura from Card Captor Sakura. But I’m not sure about the costume since I didn’t get to watch all the episodes. Or she could be someone else entirely; like a game character.

Thoughts?

San Diego held a Comic Con back in August 2008. A lot of people were cosplaying several characters ranging from games, anime, movies, and comic book characters.

I found this picture from a friend, and it’s originally found on this blog. The details on her costume are amazing, and I wonder, is she cosplaying someone, or is this original?

Thanks for sharing the photo!

Perhaps I should find less generic looking cosplays for this guessing game.

Either way, I really like this cosplayer, if she’s actually cosplaying at all. I get the feeling she may be one of those maids from the Maid Cafes in Japan.

You have to admit she’s pretty cute though. So, are there any anime series that comes to mind when you look at her?

Some cosplays are too good (or maybe too cute) to pass up, even though I have no idea where they’re from.

Take these 2 cute little girls for instance.

The only clue I have about them is from the source who says:

These kids were part of a singing / dancing group that performed onstage to promote a new Korean MMO.

But what game? And who are they?

So I’m opening up a new category in this blog. The “Unknown” portion will feature several cosplays from which I have no information on. If anyone has any idea, then please feel free to let me know. Then I can edit the entry and add in your information and credit you accordingly.

Thanks for reading guys! I look forward to your responses. The full version of this picture can be found in Rob Gruhl’s Flickr.
