Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica: Kaname Madoka 04

If this is another Luka cosplay that I don’t know of, I think I just might cry. Then again, I’m not a huge fan of Luka’s songs, so I guess it can’t be helped that these end up in the unknown section of Cosplay Holic.

I just hope the Luka fans won’t kill me for saying all that! Thanks to Julianne for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to St. Arcana for letting me know she is Kaname Madoka from the final episode of Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica!

The King of Fighters XI: Bonne Jenet

More Unknowns courtesy of this year's Summer Comiket!

If I had to guess, I would say she’s Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier. If not, perhaps one of the pirates from One Piece, but I looked through some of the main characters from that series without much luck as to who this cosplayer is portraying to be!

Anyone got a better idea? Thanks to Alfred for sending this in!

Ao no Exorcist: Kirigakure Shura

Late for the party! Photos from Japan’s Summer Comiket 2011 are probably all over the net by now, but I had to schedule a lot of cosplays before I started on this event!

In any case, let’s get started with something hot! It was literally scorching hot during the Comiket, but the cosplayers didn’t seem to mind, especially this girl! But who is this character she cosplaying as?

Hope you guys can tell me! Thanks again to 4chanatic for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to Krystal and everyone who commented for letting me know she is Shura from Ao no Exorcist!

Sola: Shihou Matsuri

Another one from that Philippine convention back in 2010 taken by Nica Tanjutco. I thought it was someone from Rosario Vampire, but I don’t recognize the outfit at all.

Anyone have a better idea? Thanks again to Tori for sharing this!

Dazzle: Rahzel Anadis

In a local, Philippine convention back in 2010, there were several pretty cosplays that were submitted to Cosplay Holic, but I couldn't identify them at all. There’s not much to go on with this photo since we can’t see much of her outfit, but I’m hoping someone here was able to get a better shot (or even look) at her. Thanks to Tori for sharing this and Nica Tanjutco for the awesome photography!

Aria: Alice Caroll

And now for something I’m sure someone will be able to figure because I’ve given up looking for the answer.

I thought Kipi was cosplaying a character from Mai Otome or something, but it appears I’m wrong. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this character before though; maybe I even featured her already, but I’m really not sure.

Please help me out? Thanks to Pita for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to St-Arcana for letting me know the character is Alice Caroll from Aria!

Hakata no Shio: Hakata-san

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a bag of MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)?

Then again, I suppose that could be salt or sugar as well, but please don’t tell me there are anime mascots for food additives now too?

I guess that’s not too far from reality, considering it’s Japan. In any case, thanks again to Winnie for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know this is a personification of Hakata Salt (which is apparently from Mexico and packaged in Japan)!

Hayabusa Love Kouza: Hayabusa

You’ve probably noticed this by now, but most of the unknown cosplays I have been featuring lately are the ones from Winter Comiket 2010. Why? That’s because until now, I haven’t been able to finish sorting out all the emails I’ve gotten from this convention!

So if you’re wondering why I haven’t replied to your emails yet, this photo spam is probably the culprit. Maybe I need to make a new email account for Cosplay Holic, haha! Thanks to Winnie for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know this is "one of the anthropomorphized versions of a Japanese spacecraft called Hayabusa"!

Kira Kira Pop Princess: Gaby

If this is a Vocaloid of an UTAUloid character- I can’t keep up with these cosplayers and their character choices! As you can see, we are almost up to 100 Unknowns, but more than 70% have been identified thanks to you, my readers!

Better still, with more that 1000 cosplay features on Cosplay Holic, we have been able to link 30% of what would have been lost photos back to their respective owners! I never would have imagined this was possible and the cosplayers are very happy to have been identified and credited!

Thank you, dear readers, for all your support! I will keep doing my best in keeping this site alive and kicking!

EDIT: Thanks to Hamtarofan01 for letting me know this is Gaby from the game "Kira Kira Pop Princess"!

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun: Uiharu Kazari and Saten Ruiko

I could have sworn I’ve seen these two somewhere before… but now I can’t remember from where! I thought it was Bakemonogatari, but the character list doesn’t include a girl with flowers in her hair.

I hope someone recognizes them! Thanks to Michelle for sending this!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Honda Sakura

If I had to take a guess, two characters come to mind: Suzumiya Haruhi from The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi or Hirasawa Yui from K-On! It’s because her hair is similar to both characters, but the kimono reminds me Kinomoto Sakura from an episode in Card Captor Sakura.

What do you guys think? Maybe we should vote on it? Thanks again to Miguel for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to Clauie for letting me know this is the female version of Japan from Hetalia: Axis Powers, also known as Honda Sakura!

The 3rd Birthday: Aya Brea

Whatever series or game she’s from, I think she could be one of those strong female characters everyone else in the story falls in love with.

Who wouldn’t, right?

I’m not really sure what those Japanese text in the photo means, but the photographer probably put them there for a reason. A sort of signature maybe? Thanks to Sarah for sending this!

SoniComi: Sonico

Well, she’s probably one of the cutest girls in seifuku I have ever seen, but not even that pinkish-white hair, glasses, and headphones give me the slightest clue as to which series or game she could be from.

I hope someone will recognize this cosplay from Winter Comiket 2010! Thanks to Leslie for sending this!

UTAUloid: Kasane Teto

I have this nagging feeling that she may be another fanmade Vocaloid character like Yowane Haku, but I've gone through a couple of Vocaloid fansites with no luck in finding out who she could be! I wish we could at least see what the number on her right arm is, then I’d have a better clue!

If I had to guess though, I’d think she’s probably another version of Miku or Meiko.

For now, I’ll be featuring her in the Unknown Section until I get a better idea. Thanks to Ian for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to Heimi for letting me know she is Kasane Teto from UTAUloid!

Kanokon: Minamoto Chizuru

Now this is interesting.

Not only is the uniform cute, but there is an additional cuteness of… cat ears or fox ears?

I’m tempted to say fox ears, because that symbol she’s making with her hand is a fox, right? And it looks like she has a tail too!

Anyone have any idea what series she’s from and what the name of the character is? Thanks again to Ophelia for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to Roy for letting me know this is Minamoto Chizuru from Kanokon!

The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi / Zeta Gundam: Nagato Yuki and RX-178 Gundam Mk-II

You can probably tell that's Nagato Yuki from The Menlancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi giving a notice to the Gundam; but that’s just the thing: I have no idea what Gundam model and make that is! And those “03” markings make me think it’s an Eva Unit more than a Gundam.

So I shall be leaving this in the Unknown section while I quietly sit down and wait for my readers to let me know from which series that Gundam is from… please? While I try to figure out how to title this blog entry properly seeing we have a crossover between two series. A very cute one at that. Thanks to again to Miriam for sending this!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Prussia

Now isn’t this a lovely image?

Ok, so maybe only the girls will agree with me here, but I couldn’t resist posting this piece of eye candy even though I have no idea where the character is from. I just hope I’m right in assuming this silver-haired character is male..?

Hopefully someone can identify him! Thanks to Millie for sharing this!

.hack//G.U.: Atoli

It’s been a while since I last posted something into the Unknown Section. I hope you guys don’t mind my asking for help in identifying these characters! You’d think I know a lot of them by now, but once in a while, something always pops up!

Now this is one character I thought I’d find in a fighting game or some similar genre… Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find anything that matches her look!

Anyone have a better idea? Thanks to Daniella for sharing this!

Bakemonogatari: Oshino Shinobu

This cosplayer looks so adorable despite having dusty knees, that I'm wondering is this is also in character or something.

Won’t you share with me some of that bread you’re eating? It looks very delicious.

Please leave some comments if you have any idea who she might be cosplaying as. Thanks to Lorelei for sending this!

日本鬼子: Hinomoto Oniko

I think I have an idea who this character is, but I can’t place a name to it.

Remember how the Chinese illustrated the Japanese as “devils” or “demons” because of their cruelty back in World War II? I seem to recall reading a recent Japanese retaliation by turning that character “moe”.

Then again, there are a lot of miko characters out there and she could be one of those too. Otherwise, her hair’s like Yuuko’s.

Any guesses? Thanks to Madelynne for sending this!

EDIT: Thank you to everyone who commented! I will add her as Hinomoto Oniko because more people seem to think she is that Japanese Devil, moe-fied! Thanks again, everyone!
