One of my other hobbies is cosplaying.  I really only cosplay to conventions and on Halloween though.  You can actually check out my cosplay.com profile for all my past costumes. (http://www.cosplay.com/member/159504/)

I guess I started cosplaying back during Halloween of 2004.  Naruto's popularity was in its infancy and I really liked Sasuke at the time.  So guess what my first cosplay was?  Sasuke, of course.  With the help of my mom, I made my first (fairly crappy, but still recognizable) cosplay.  There's a picture of it on my cosplay.com profile.

I've done several costumes since then for various cons like Anime Expo, Fanime, PMX, Anime LA, and MikomoCon.

Right now I've been working on my Junpei cosplay.  It's not for an specific con, but since I decided to cut my hair shorter, I wanted to finish the cosplay before I cut it.  Junpei has longish brown hair.  I didn't have to make much for this cosplay, only the puffy vest that he wears.
