Amazing Final Fantasy Cloud Cosplay

Perhaps he really is Cloud.


 
 

Danny Choo found some really awesome pictures of veteran cosplay Kaname dressed like Final Fantasy VII's hero Cloud. Danny mentions that he will be a judge at this year’s Anime Festival Asia Regional Cosplay Championship 2009; which is definitely a good thing because there is no way I’d win if he was participating. If you would like to enter the competition then please submit your own cosplay photos over at Figure.fm. Winners get a ticket to Japan, amongst other things.

What I really like about this cosplayer is that his costume, nay, his entire look does not look overly cosplay-like; it just looks so natural.

@ethan: To bad only people in countries in Southeast Asia can enter according to Danny Choo's page...
 
But man that Kaname guy did it flawlessly.... He even nailed the poses!

The first one is the best cosplay pic I've ever seen. If anyone think they have a pic that tops that though, I'd be interested in seeing it.

Wow
 
I've seen some fan-frickin-tastic cosplay over the decade, but this Kaname fella just knocks it out of the park; the perfect marriage between a character and a cosplayer. I mean, folks like he were given the just the right genes to bring these animated characters to life. I'd really like to see this guy stand alongside that incredibly awesome Aerith cosplayer I saw at AX so many years ago.
