👩 = Ms. Mang 👨 = Mr. G
・Please tell us the reason of why you started cosplay.
👩 : I have started to go to anime cons since I was 13 years old. All these cosplayers amazed me and make me wanna to make a try. But back then I did’t have any economic support for cosplay. So, I just take cosplay as my dream and hope I can be one of them someday. My first cosplay is the Sanji(Ladyboy version)from One piece haha.
👨 :I have started to go to anime cons since I was uni student, and did some simple shooting with cosplayers.
I didn’t really have confident to do cosplay at the very beginning so I assisted Ms. Mang to do her first cosplay. And Ms. Mang keep convincing me to have a try, I did the Trafalgar D. Water Law cosplay!! And turn out I have lots of fun, that’s why I keep doing cosplay until now! ^^
・Please tell us your favorite anime/manga/game character.
👩 :I love character who have a really strong distinctive personality which make me easily to cosplay ! haha
I really like these characters from JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE (The 5th anime was so amazing!!)
And Dante from Devil may Cry, this character also the reason why I met my Husband Mr.G ////
👨 :I like hardcore characters like zoro from One Piece, Dante from Devil May Cry, etc. People who like cosplay not only they love the characters but somehow what to look cool like the character xDD

👨 :I believed that most of you did saw the 「Gon Freecss」cosplay photo xDDD my cosplay masterpiece should be that one lol
But to me, I would like to say the 「Jotaro Kujo 」&「Guido Mista」from JOJO’S BIZARRE ADVENTURE, I even made the stands !!

・Did you make your own costume or props?
👩 👨 :We did, cause what we wanna cosplay are quite minor titles, we can only DIY > < I(Ms. Mang) will focus on Wig stylish and Costumes while Mr. G will make the props. That is why we seldom do new character cosplay xD But we feel great about this!
Also, we love doing cosplay performances therefore we keep inventing some special gear for the stages!!

And we will go to Anime Con Holland in June, it gonna be our first time to go to cons which not in Asia!! Can’t wait to go there ^^

・Do Taiwan have a lot of cosplayers? Would it be difficult if I want to start cosplay in Taiwan?
👩 👨 :Taiwan getting more and more cosplayer, as the new generations is more capable to accept the anime stuff!
So we don’t think it will be difficult if someone want to start cosplay in Taiwan !
Umm, maybe to the people who love to do props, it quite hard to buy some materials like Worbla… 💦
・If cosplayers want to cosplay in Taiwan, due to the religious factors, regionals factors, etc do they have to pay any special attentions?
👩 👨:Basically Taiwan do not have any restrictions for cosplay, but we do not recommend people do too sexy cosplay in public areas, it may cause legal problem > <
・Do Taiwan have any special props making techniques or tools? If yes, please share with us
👩 👨:Yes, there are a lot of props and costume workshop !
And recently, more and more people started to use the 3D printer, we would like to try as well !
・Please tell us your aim for the future.
👩 👨: Our aim and motto is Never forget why you started, and your mission can be accomplished ! We hope people will wanna to know more about the anime & characters when someone saw our cosplay or cosplay performance! And turn out they will read or watch the anime or manga !! We believe that this is our original intention and the greatest achievement.
Apart from this, we would like to take part in more oversea anime cons and events, to make more cosplay friends and tell them how Taiwan is! We would like to hold some seminar and workshop in schools and circles!! We want more people to know how amazing cosplay is ^^
