cosplay events
Cosplay (コスプレ Kosupure) adalah istilah bahasa Inggris buatan Jepang (wasei-eigo) yang berasal dari gabungan kata "costume" (kostum) dan "play" (bermain). Cosplay berarti hobi mengenakan pakaian beserta aksesori dan rias wajah seperti yang dikenakan tokoh-tokoh dalam anime, manga, manhwa, dongeng, permainan video, penyanyi dan musisi idola, dan film kartun. Pelaku cosplay disebut cosplayer, Di kalangan penggemar, cosplayer juga disingkat sebagai layer.
Di Jepang, peserta cosplay bisa dijumpai dalam acara yang diadakan perkumpulan sesama penggemar (dōjin circle), seperti Comic Market, atau menghadiri konser dari grup musik yang bergenre visual kei. Penggemar cosplay termasuk cosplayer maupun bukan cosplayer sudah tersebar di seluruh penjuru dunia, yaitu Amerika, RRC, Eropa, Filipina, maupun Indonesia.
