The term cosplay is a combination of the two English words costume and play, meaning costume game. As the name already suggests, it is not only about dressing up, like at carnival or Halloween, but the chosen character should be played as realistically as possible. You actually slip into a completely different identity for a few hours.

The whole thing started in Japan and it was all about creating from anime and manga. The well spilled over to other countries and continents quite quickly and expanded to include motifs. So today you can meet cosplayers at comic cons, book fairs, film premieres and other events, who dress up as heroes from comics – especially popular Marvel and DC – film and television – especially fantasy and sci-fi – but also from novels and especially characters video games.

Cosplayer Kristian is 20 years old and lives in Cologne. Despite his young age, he is still an old hand in cosplay, because he already started six years ago. So he brings a lot of experience with him and that is certainly one of the reasons why he was already a member of the jury at a competition in 2019.

Kristian loves video games and typically chooses a character from his current favorite game as a cosplay motif. According to Kristian, the genre of video games is especially popular in Germany when it comes to cosplay. But of course you can always find characters from anime, manga, film, television etc. at the relevant events.

Kristian thinks that you should make sure that the character really suits you – not only in terms of looks, but also in terms of personality, because after all you really want to follow the hero as true to the original as possible.

Cosplay is now considered by experts to be a true art form of pop culture. Accordingly, there are now famous german cosplayers who do the whole thing professionally and in some cases can even make a living from it. In any case it is possible to earn some extra money. This is especially attractive for cosplayers because the elaborate costumes are usually quite expensive and can quickly cost several hundred euros. And the travel expenses to the national and international events cost quite a bit of money.

These cosplayers and influencers are known on social platforms like Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, etc. and have many followers. Let’s have a look at a few examples from the german cosplay scene!

So if you want to become a real cosplayer, you have to know the chosen character very well and study it properly in order to personalize it appropriately.

And then of course there is the thing with the costume. Because this should look as real as possible and is either made by real cosplayers themselves in laborious, detail-loving and time-consuming work or at least commissioned by them. Rarely solutions are bought off the shelf. However, this has changed a bit in the meantime, as there are special cosplay stores, especially online, where you can buy costumes and especially special accessories like artificial body parts (elf ears, noses, horns, wings, etc.), wigs, weapons, jewelry, etc. and then create a really good costume yourself.
