The coolest picture of a Naruto cosplayer ever taken? Maybe! (NARUTO)
Quite a Fasha-nable cosplayer, if you get my drift! (DRAGON BALL Z: BARDOCK the FATHER of GOKU)
You don't have to look hard to see, this is a killer Killer Bee. (NARUTO)
This near perfect Kakashi proves that reading can be fun! Especially the kind of book he's reading! (NARUTO)
You're never too old to cosplay! Or at least wear a cool hat from your favorite anime. (BLEACH)
This Kakuzu would like to give you a hand! (NARUTO)
This Soul Reaper looks serious about cosplay! (BLEACH)
The only thing cooler than being a Naruto cospalyer, is being a Naruto cosplayer at the SJ Panel! (NARUTO)
This Nami and Luffy prove that the couple that cosplays together, stays together. (ONE PIECE)
Hidan keeps a cool head while demoing the new Naruto video game. (NARUTO)
One of our favorite fans, and a great Kaiba cosplayer, munches on free ice cream at the SJ Fan Meet-Up. (YU-GI-OH!)
While this isn't exactly cosplay, it's still an amazing Future Trunks tattoo! (DRAGON BALL Z)
You're never fully dressed in cosplay without a smile! You Ichi-go, girl! (BLEACH)
This Naruto was throwing up ninja signs of the con floor! (NARUTO)
This Luffy cosplayer danced the night away like he'd eaten the Dance-Dance fruit! (ONE PIECE)
This Yugi cosplayer never leaves home without her Kuriboh card. (YU-GI-OH!)
A Goku cosplayer takes time out from an important call to pose for a quick snap. (DRAGON BALL Z)

Cosplay

SJ Fan Meet-Ups

GALLERY: Anime Expo 2012 Cosplay!

A survivor of the Shadow Clone Jutsu Wars. (NARUTO, STAR WARS)
Skateboard Gaara One-Tailed Biju! A perfect blend of brilliant cosplay and street style. (NARUTO)
Epic Kenshiro outfit. This picture was taken right before my head exploded. (FIST OF THE NORTH STAR)
The details here really make this Rin and Shiemi stand out. The glowing Koma sword, the stuffed Kuro on the head, it's so perfect! (BLUE EXORCIST)
Bepo eating Princess Shirahoshi's head! This kind of cosplay magic can only be found at cosplay meet-ups! (ONE PIECE)
This is a great cosplay idea! No mask required, just really good facepaint! I give this girl full props. (BLEACH)
I'm always impressed by cosplayers with a Night Rikuo wig! Can't be cheap! Yuki-Onna looks amazing as well! (NURA: RISE OF THE YOKAI CLAN)
I always like it when a bald guy cosplays as a bald character. It looks way more legit, as this Ikkaku demonstrates! Cool Kasumi, too! (BLEACH, DEAD or ALIVE)
Great Hollowfied Ichigo! Good pose, as well! (BLEACH)
Great Sasuke! Also another good pose! One thing about cosplayers, they know how to please the camera! (NARUTO)
Hands down, the best Madara I've ever seen. Perfect. (NARUTO)
Details like the Rinnegan contacts are what separate the great cosplayers from the good ones. Sir, I salute you! (NARUTO)
I bet gluing those black rods to the nose is a pain. Heh-heh. Sorry. Anyway, this Pain and Karen were spot on! (NARUTO)
And just around the corner, I found some more Akatsuki! Tobi, Deidara and Itachi! (NARUTO)
Duck! Here comes a Gum-Gum punch! (ONE PIECE)
Sakura also packs quite a wallop! (NARUTO)
There are times when you find cosplay so good, it makes you almost believe it's real. This Shura is an example. (BLUE EXORCIST)
This Ichigo has one of the most intense battle expressions I've ever seen! (BLEACH)
Get this Toriko 150 rare steaks! He looks hungry! (TORIKO)
I still can't quite figure out how this Vegeta did his hair. Must of used over 9,000 ounces of gel! (DRAGON BALL Z)
Wow! Dr. Brief and Future Trunks! This may be the first Dr. Brief I've ever seen! Genius. (DRAGON BALL Z)
Another amazing cosplay choice! Wanze complete with up-the-nose-noodles! This is the highest level of cosplay! (ONE PIECE)
Hogeta! You should recognize this guy from our Wonder-Con Cosplay report. Unless there are two. Which I doubt. (DRAGON BALL Z, SIMPSONS)
You don't see too many cosplayers from Araki Sensei manga, but when you do they always look amazing—like this Giorrno! (STEEL BALL RUN)
Don't know about you, but as for me, I'm always happy to see a Killer Bee! (NARUTO)
One of our favorite fans! She was at the YU-GI-OH! movie premiere with us, she's been to almost all the SJ Fan Meet-Ups, and has won the Fan Art Jam twice! Her cosplay's not bad, either! (YU-GI-OH!)
Seen a lot of Saiyan cosplayers in my day, few as good as this. This looks like something from a movie set! (not the crummy movie that came out, the rad one in my mind) (DRAGON BALL Z)
We found this dedicated SJ Alpha fan, and excellent Naruto cosplayer, outside the SJ Fan Meet-Up. We got to hang out with him before the show. Nice guy! (NARUTO)
Ladies, look out! This steamy Sasuke cosplayer has "heartbreaker" written all over him! (NARUTO)
When I passed this cosplayer, my eyes popped out of my head! Sasuke with a Susano'o! Spectacular! (NARUTO)
Not only does this Kensei cosplayer have an amazing costume, he's got light-up eyes! (BLEACH)
These two Naruto and Sasuke cosplayers were doing all kinds of dangerous-looking kung fu fightin" outside the con! It looked more dangerous than the fight it was based on! (NARUTO)
Look at this amazing group of cosplayers! From left to right: Amaimon, Shura, Shiemi, Yukio, Rin and Mephisto! (BLUE EXORCIST)
Saving the best for last! This is the winner of the live cosplay contest at the SJ Fan Meet-Up! Her Tetsuya Kuroko won the crowd over! (KUROKO NO BASKET)
