xxxHolic: Ichihara Yuuko

A mysterious and powerful magician, Ichihara Yuuko has a playful, free-spirited personality and is highly respected in the spirit realm. Although she grants her customers' wishes, Yuuko does not involve herself with them directly, appearing to prefer to stay in the background, controlling the situation without letting anyone know about it.

Yuuko is often associated with the symbol of a butterfly which, in Eastern philosophy is the symbol of a person's soul and transformation.

Patsy, a reader of Cosplay Holic, sent me this picture about a month ago. It took me a while to get this up as there were a lot of pending photos I had to post first. Most of my pictures are sent in be readers themselves, so... well, you get the idea.

xxxHolic: Kunogi Himawari

Despite being an only child who has a strange power of causing people “bad luck”, Kunogi Himawari is a kind and cheerful girl who is Watanuki’s love interest. She is either oblivious of this fact or she doesn’t want to return his feelings because she also causes him bad luck.

Not everyone is affected by her strange powers though. Doumeki and her parents don’t recieve any bad luck being around her. But regardless of this strange phenomena, Himawari is said to be human.

I'm Scared... (Day Ninety-Five)

I shouldn't be allowed to watch anime anymore. For a multitude of reason, but let's start with the fact that most anime scares the crap outta me =[ xxxHolic is going to have me having nightmares for weeks, even though I just finished it. *sigh* As if that weren't bad enough, the more I watch, the more I want to cosplay. But since I finished xxxHolic, I'll probably pay more attention to this blog, since I don't have much else to do on this computer.

Speaking of my poor laptop, it's got a pretty nasty Trojan on it, so I may have to wipe the poor thing's memory completely =/

NEW COSPLAY IDEA: Pipe Fox (xxxHolic)

Why are there no good images of this thing? Seriously.

So, I've gone and done it again. That's right, I added yet another cosplay to my list. This time it's a human-form version of the pipe fox (transformed) from xxxHolic. I was drawn to the pipe fox when it first appeared in it's smaller form because of how adorable it was. I immediately wished for one of my own, from which came the desire to cosplay it. But, of course, such a simple cosplay would be, well, not very much fun. Not to mention a bit harder to do. I do not want to attempt to walk around looking like a fuzzy worm with cat ears. (I say "attempt" because I'd have no legs.) So I ignored the thought as much as I could, deciding it probably wouldn't happen and maybe I'd just make a miniature version of it for myself.


Then I saw the glory that was the pipe fox's transformation. My first thought was that it looked suspiciously like the nine-tailed fox from Okami (heh, what a one-track mind I have). Then I started noticing similarities in the art work of it, the markings on the face and the tufts of fur on the legs. That was the end of it for me. I knew I had to cosplay this thing.


Of course, it could just be an excuse for me to make another costume like Amaterasu's, because I fully intend to stick to that style. I think I'm looking forward to the mask the most, since I'd really like to take another crack at altering a mask. I'm still not entirely pleased with my first attempt on Amaterasu. I'm also looking to try making digitigrade hind legs again (with "backwards" knees). My first attempt, even though I had amazing instructions via Matrices.net, I really had no idea what I was doing and thought I could just wing it. Though I still do love my Ammy feet / legs, they're nowhere near what I had originally hoped for.

I also still want to make a little untransformed pipe fox for myself. I'll probably even keep with with me when I do the full-on cosplay. It sounds like it could be a fun / cute little side-project. I already know what I'm going to make it out of and how I'm going to do it. I just need the materials, which, if I remember right, are on sale at JoAnn's right now. I should probably check tomorrow. If they're not on sale, I could use some material I have now (it's the material I want, but not the exact color). Ah, well. We shall see =]

I'm excited about this (obviously).

Sorry it took so long, Patsy! Thanks for the awesome contribution! The cosplayer won best female during the 2nd Philippine Cosplay Convention. Anyone know who she is?

xxxHolic: Watanuki Kimihiro and Ichihara Yuuko

This is probably one of the best cosplays I’ve ever come across!

Then again, I tend to say that about all the cosplays I feature here don’t I?

Watanuki Kimihiro is an ordinary student in an ordinary world… But he has a secret. He can see ghosts, demons, and spirits! He meets Ichihara Yuuko, a time and space witch, who claims to have to ability to grant any wish, for a price! And what price does Watanuki have to pay to grant his wish to never see spirits again? Work in Yuuko’s shop as a part-time job, which includes cooking, cleaning and other household chores!

I really love Yuuko in this picture… Watanuki as well! Thanks to DigiBook for sharing this picture!
