Cosplay is a hobby that combines costume and role-playing to create a performance art. It involves dressing up as characters from various media sources such as TV shows, movies, comics, anime, manga, video games, and more. The term is a Japanese portmanteau of "costume" and "play".

Origins

Cosplay grew out of fan costuming practices at science fiction conventions, dating back to the 1930s. The term "cosplay" was coined in 1984 by Nobuyuki Takahashi after attending the World Science Fiction Convention.

Practice

Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture and participate in events such as fan conventions and competitions. They can range from simple themed clothing to highly detailed costumes. Some cosplayers learn new skills like sewing, shaping materials, and makeup while creating their costumes. Others prefer to purchase their costumes, which can be purchased or made. Closet cosplays, using existing clothes, are also a popular and budget-friendly option.

Subculture

The cosplay community shares tips, tutorials, and patterns to support each other in their creative activities. Cosplayers can connect through social networks and attend conventions to share their love for characters and art. This performance art encourages creativity, role-playing, and self-expression, making it a significant aspect of popular culture.
