Okita SoujiReading manga, watching anime, and wearing cosplay. Those three points seem to be a mandatory for some people. While some Western people are already familiar with manga and anime, the term cosplay can be foreign to them. What is cosplay actually? Cosplay is the abbreviation of costume play. It is a performance art that presents particular characters of manga (Japanese comic book) and anime (Japanese animation movie). Instead of displaying the costume in mannequin, people use their body to perform the costumes. Besides manga and anime, cosplay is also derived from popular video games, graphic novel, fantasy movie, and so on.

Cosplayers, the way those people called, usually also mimic body language, style, feel of the character represented by the cosplay. In addition, they wear cosplay anytime and anywhere the want. So, when we spot cosplayers in the street, we will feel like we meet the virtual character in a real world. In order to give good impression, cosplays are made from high quality material and accessories. Now, we do not need to make it since we can buy ready to wear Costumes.

High quality costume and anime are available in many sizes and accessories. We can find many popular costume from famous characters such as Dragonball, Sailor Moon, Inuyasha, One Piece, Shugo Chara, Street Fighter, Pokemon, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Naruto, and many more. Take a look at One Piece costume. It features Luffy, Nico Robin, and Roronoa Zoro. The design and color are stylish and look like it is.

HakuoukiVoice-over artist, Michelle Ruff, will be in attendance to discuss her roles in dubbing anime, as well as several other well-known voice talents including Tiffany Grant, Spike Spencer, and Doug Smith.

“We are very excited to invite Michelle back to Lansing, especially to see how much Lansing has grown since she attended college at MSU” said Shuto Con convention Chair, Stefanie Shall, who founded the convention last year with her husband, Joe. “Our attendees will have a very rare chance to get to meet one of the best voice actresses in the world!”

Local video game remix band, Year 200X, will also be in attendance to meet with fans, as well as Hobocon, a troupe that became famous for traveling to similar conventions on a tragically low budget.

In addition to family-friendly panel discussions and autograph sessions with guests, attendees can expect anime screenings, an exhibitor hall featuring artists and dealers from across the state and beyond, dances, adult-themed evening entertainment, and plenty of “cosplaying”.

“‘Cosplaying’ means ‘Costume Play’ where attendees are encouraged to dress up as their favorite characters. At our convention we not only encourage them to dress up, but to act like their favorite characters as well” said Shall, who has participated with Interactive Cosplay groups elsewhere in the country.

In addition to cosplay, Shall also hopes that convention attendees support the nonprofit Lansing Food Bank, through a non-perishable food drive that will be held during the show.

“We are asking when attendees come to pick up their membership badge over the weekend, they donate non-perishable food items like the anime fan favorite, instant ramen, to the LFB,” said Shall, who added designated event staffers will also collect cash donations. “We believe hunger is something no family should have to go through!”

Local business Otakumals, a Japanese-inspired plush doll maker, will sponsor the exhibit hall, and gaming cafe, Evolution Games, will host tournaments and programming in the video game room.

More information about Shuto Con is available on the convention website, including lodging and pre-registration discount information at: www.shutocon.com.

Anime is a type of cartoon from Japan, typically with more grown-up themes, often based on mangabooks. Manga is the written and drawn counterpart to anime and can be likened to comic books for older readers.
