Japan takes First Prize at World Cosplay Championship
Earlier this month, a record 30 cosplay entrants from 15 countries participated in the Cosplay Championship held in the Japanese city of Nagoya. We weren’t surprised to hear that the Japanese team won, but were when we read that this was the first time the country was voted the world champions since the event was started in 2003!
The Japanese team won with their samurai warrior costumes from the video game series “Sengoku Basara” and their spectacular swordfight performance.
In the competition, teams were given three minutes each to present their costumes, and were judged on their expression, creativity, entertainment and faithfulness to the original story.
