Anime Banzai 2008 Rave

Description

Last one! This was made specifically for the Banzai Boogie, the rave-type dance at the end of Saturday. I'd heard there'd be a group of Naruto cosplayers punking out their characters, so I decided to give it a shot with Chouji. And I really liked how it turned out! I've even occationally worn this outfit to class, sans the glowsticks.

So the kanji on the side of my shirt I painted on myself; it's the kanji that Chouji wears on the front of his armor. On the other side of the shirt I painted a butterfly (Chouji means butterfly in Japanese, fyi). The kanji down my leg says "Ino Shika Chou", the names of he and his friends. I thought it was clever, anyway. There were also chains on my other side with butterfly charms hanging off of them. And on my back? I fashioned some butterfly wings out of blue glowsticks and duct taped them to my shirt. The people that got it seemed to like the idea. :D

It was SO NICE to have pockets for this costume. It's basically regular clothes, so this is the most comfortable I was for the entire con. Except for the shoes. I had to wear my ninja sandals since I didn't find any boots in time. Oh well. The extra (FAKE) piercings were interesting too (when I was trying them on at home, I really freaked out my roommates. It was hilarious) but at least I didn't lose any of them.

So Chouji still belongs to Masashi Kishimoto, just not necessarily this version of him. I came up with it myself.
Cosplayer is me, mormongirlbyu and the picture was taken by a friend of mine and *Obi-quiet's at the con.
