Hiro of the Blue Star

Description

This is me at the Anaheim Convention Center as Hiro from Lunar 2: Eternal Blue. This cosplay had some longevity, as it survived AnimeExpo 2002, 2003, and 2004, as well as AniMagic 2003, 2004, and two Halloweens.

Though I did not make the shirt myself, as my sewing skills were limited back then, the overall construction (and the sword itself) were mine. Let me tell you, those leg wrappings were a Super B!tch to put on. If you look closely, you might be able to see the grand total 26 safety pins it took to keep those damn things up. And, of course, it wasnt until AX 2004 (my final time wearing it) that I finally realized the easy way to do it. *sigh*

The sword was simply layered matting board, duct tape (blade) and masking tape (handle), with clear tape over the whole thing (to give the shiny look, and to keep the color from coming off). Rather cheap, but the sword survived longer than the cosplay, so I call it a success.
