Kipi - Rena Ryuugu from Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni

Well it's Halloween and Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni seems like to perfect anime for today.

Rena Ryuugu is a cute, garbage collecting resident of the quaint village Hinamizawa, who like most people in this anime occassionally brutally murders her friends.

Cosplay by Kipi
Her cute image and persona really suit Rena's character. It's a lovely cosplay.

Kipi - Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann

This is the final post in our Kipi week long special to celebrate her 23rd birthday last week. We hope you've enjoyed it! Today is a double post, Black Rock Shooter from the Black Rock Shooter OVA, and Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)

Yoko Littner is a formidable fighter, she has a large arsenal of weapons, most famous being her sniper rifle. She says the reason for her skimpy clothing is because it restricts her movements during combat. Yoko's dream is become a teacher.

Great cosplay by Kipi, very sexy.
Love the rifle and the boots!

Kipi - Black Rock Shooter from Black Rock Shooter

Today is the last day of our Kipi special to celebrate her 23rd birthday last Thursday, so to finish today is a double post: first Black Rock ★ Shooter from the Black Rock Shooter OVA of the same name, and second Yoko Littner from Gurren Lagann.

Black ★ Rock Shooter lives in a desolate world, her counter part in our world is Kuroi Mato, an excitable high school student.

Kuroi Mato and Black Rock Shooter merge to save Mato's best friend Takanashi Yomi who has been possessed by Dead Master and disappeared from our world. It's a touching story of friendship between two girls.

Cosplay by Kipi

The chains are really cool, but it's a pity there's no blazing blue eye, though that would be very difficult to do without photoshop.

Kipi - Asuka Langley Soryu from Neon Genesis Evangelion

Asukua Langley Soryu from the Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise is the 14 year old pilot of the EVA Unit 02. The EVAs are large mechas used for fighting against Angels, beings that attack Tokyo-3.

Asuka is only 1/4 Japanese and was raised in Germany. Despite German being her native language she speaks fluent Japanese.
She is very proud of being a pilot, and frequently wears her A10 Nerve clips in her hair to show this off.
Her pride and loud fiery nature hides a traumatised and insecure girl. She cannot cope with failure, and reacts badly to it.

Kipi - Chi from Chobits

Another Chi (Chii) cosplay, which is just a pretty as this one we previously featured.

In Chobits everyone who's anyone has a persocom - androids that are walking talking computers.

Chi is a chobit, an advanced persocom with the ability to feel true emotion. However when Hideki first finds her discarded in the trash she can only say one word - "Chi", and remembers nothing of her past. Hideki names her Chi and must teach her how to function, as she starts to learn about her past.

Cosplay by Kipi.

She makes a very sweet Chi!

Kipi - Haruhi Suzumiya from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

Continuing with this weeks Kipi special we have a cosplay by Kipi of Haruhi Suzumiya from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

"I have no interest in ordinary people. But, if any of you are aliens, time-travellers, or espers, please come see me. That is all!"

When entering high school Haruhi starts the SOS Brigade to investigate mysteries and unusual events, because normal things bore her and she cannot stand being bored!


Cute cosplay. I like the signature Haruhi expression, looks like she's up to some mischief!

Kipi - Misa Amane from Death Note

 Another Misa Amane of Death Note cosplay by Kipi.

Unlike the previous Misa cosplay we've feature by Kipi, this one reflects Misa's darker side.

The claws are what make this cosplay stand out, and turn an otherwise relatively simple costume into some really impressive.

The outfit is from the Death Note manga Volume 4 cover.

Kipi - Lenalee Lee from D.Gray Man

 Lenalee Lee from the anime and manga D.Gray Man is a 16 year old exorcist with the Black Order.
 
Exorcists use innocence, an anti akuma weapon, to battle the Millennium Earl. The manifestation of innocence is unique to each exorcist.
Lenalee's innocence type is initially equipment called Dark Boots which increased her speed and strength.

Lenalee was forced into the order against her wishes and had to be restrained due to numerous escape attempts, but she started to settle in once her older brother Komui joined as the Science Department Supervisor to see her again.

This costume is Lenalee's 1st Black Order uniform (and my favourite!)

Kipi - Miku Hatsune from Vocaloid 2

Continuing with this weeks Kipi Birthday Special, today's post is Kipi's cosplay Miku Hatsune...

Miku Hatsune is a virtual diva, a computer synthesised singing programme. She is the best selling  Vocaloid 2.

As well as her popular songs, she has been featured on a racing car and had a HRP-4C android modelled after her.

Cosplay by Kipi of "Love is War" Miku.

Kipi - Amane Misa from Death Note

 

Misa Amane, or "Misa Misa" as she calls herself, is the second Kira in the manga and anime Death Note.

 Her Death Note belonged to a shinigami called Gelus / Jealous who died when he saved Misa's life from a stalker. His Death Note was then given to Misa by the shinigami Rem. Misa used her Death Note to aid Light Yagami in his quest to transform the world into a "better place" after he punished her parent's murderer.

Misa proves useful to Light as she has the Shinigami Eyes which allows her to see the name of every person she meets. Light intended to use this to find L's true name.

Misa has a cute and outgoing personality, that is completely at odds with her role as the second Kira. Despite this she never falters in her devotion to Light.

Great cosplay by Kipi, very cute and sexy!

The little heart is a great accompaniment, not sure if it's a box or something else.

The costume is  from the artbook

Kipi - Alice from Alice in Wonderland

"Curiouser and curiouser!"

Alice is main character of Lewis Caroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and iconic piece of English literature that although first published in 1865 is still influential today. There have been many adaptations, most famously Disney's 1951 cartoon film, and more recently Tim Burton's more gothic take on the story.


The image of a blonde Alice in a pretty blue dress is instantly recognisable. It's popular in cosplay and in the lolita fashion where Alice themed motifs and prints are common.

Cosplay by Kipi.
The dress is so cute, and the ruffle details make it a little different to the standard blue dress and white apron.

A perfect Alice!
