Some ladies on Twitter have amused us by trying to copy an anime character.
Well, there's absolutely nothing new about that. But this is cosplay with a particular focus on one body part -- one of our favorites.
The girls attempted to copy Hestia from DanMachi (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?) and her trademark costume: revealing white shirt and blue ribbon, which runs tantalizingly under her boobs and around her arms.
The TV anime adaptation of the light novel was shown on TV for the first time recently and it got some lovely ladies thinking.... Could I do what ...
Japan's top cosplayer, Iiniku Ushijima, is set to make her JAV porn debut at long last.
Sadly not.
This was an April Fool's Day joke by a Japanese porn label.
A million cocks sprung up when Prestige made the "announcement"... on April 1.
No, Japan's slinkiest cosplay idol is not switching over to the porn industry (yet).
It wasn't the only adult-themed April Fools' Day prank, though.
Feast, the lingerie line for A-cup Japanese girls designed by the cute Gomi Hayakawa, suddenly had a male spinoff. Hayakawa announced Beast, apparently her new brand of male lingerie, which look ...
Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) was held in Tokyo on Sunday January 25th at an inconspicuous venue near Harajuku.
There were 96 booths, including cosplayers, idols, bondage artists, and more, spread out over six seriously packed floors, plus a basement showing the "Underground Fetish Film Festival" screenings.
Feti-Fes was first held in January 2013, since then it has been held eight times around Japan. This festival -- the fifth in Tokyo -- was the biggest so far and there seemed to be hundreds of visitors by our estimate.
Due to legal reasons, there was no nudity allowed in the ...
Here are some more cute cosplayer highlights from last month's Comiket 87, which was held at Tokyo Big Sight from December 28th-30th.
Also check out our "companion" booth babe round-up.

Comiket 87 kicked off over the weekend at Odaiba.
Once again Tokyo Big Sight comes alive for three days from December 28th for Japan's biggest cosplay and comics event.
Unfortunately we couldn't be there in person but plenty of others were. Here are some pictures from the reliable folk at KAI-YOU, featuring lots of cute booth babes and "companions", whose job is to pose for pictures and try to promote games to the visitors.
Did they do a good job? Well, they certainly look nice in these ...
Happy Christmas to all our readers and visitors!
Christmas in Japan is a time for three things: strawberry shortcake, KFC chicken, and sex. Especially Christmas Eve is seen as the most romantic time of the year, the night when you are meant to take a special someone out on an expensive date.
Not everyone has a girlfriend so this time of year can be a bit lonely for singletons.
But cross-dressing cosplayer Nemunemunnn decided to take the matter into "his" own hands. He cross-dressed as his own cute "girlfriend".
The results are impressive. Would you know the ...
We suppose it was inevitable that Japan's most famous cross-dressing elderly gent would get his own mobile phone game app at some point, and so it has proved the case with Sailor Fuku Ojisan (Sailor Uniform Uncle). Also known as Hideaki Kobayashi, this gentile cross-dresser has been a regular spot all over Tokyo the past couple of years (even we saw him by chance on a random train once).
He has attracted fans (and also the police), so of course some people want to monetize this celebrity.
Sailor Fuku Ojisan now has an official game.
"Sailor Fuku Ojisan: Lucky Sorting Game" was ...
If you went out at Halloween in Tokyo you might have seen some very scantily clad ladies.
Likewise, a trip to Akihabara often means the chance to see idols performing on the street with a lot on display. Flasher idol Asuka Sawamoto famously got herself arrested in 2008 when she did a series of performances in Akiba where she let hordes of men photograph her underwear. (She went on to a career in porn.)
But what about just "risque" fashion. How far is this legal?
A fashion website asked a lawyer about how far you go with see-through underwear in Japan.
Exposing yourself in ...
You may well be familiar with Sailor Fuku Ojisan, the older gent with a penchant for wearing schoolgirl uniforms in Tokyo, and who has recently been seen together with the almost equally eccentric foreigner who goes by the moniker Ladybeard.
But this may be the start of an even more impressive and bizarre cosplay meme.
In a shopping mall in Osaka City on Sunday, a man made a peculiar appearance and posed for pictures wearing a quasi-adult baby cosplay costume. He had on "bloomer" sports bottoms, an elementary schooler's yellow hat, and various other school student gear that he ...
And the award for best Halloween costume goes to... this guy dressed up as a Tenga onacup.
He was spotted among the thousands of other Halloween cosplayers out and about on the streets of Shibuya on October 31st.
In the Tokyo Kinky scheme of things, this is the best kind of Halloween costume imaginable.
There were actually three guys around the city dressed up as various examples of Tenga onacup masturbation aids.
Of course, there were plenty of scantily dressed teenaged girls too. They come close runners-up in our competition!
Foreigners have been known to try out ...
