Gyakuten Saiban 4: Naruhodo Minuki 02

gyakuten saiban 4 / apollo justice: ace attorney cosplay - naruhodo minuki / trucy wright 02Apollo's assistant in Gyakuten Saiban 4, Trucy is a bright and energetic teenager who is a bit of a trickster. She has the ability to read a person’s body language without an aide like Apollo’s bracelet. Her name in both English and Japanese mean “truth” or “to see through”.

Kipi makes an awesome Trucy, don’t you think? Too bad she doesn’t have Mr. Hat like the other cosplayer. Thanks to Vaness for sending this!

Gurren Lagann: Yoko Littner 04

gurren lagann cosplay - yoko littner 04 by kipiAfter the war of liberation, Yoko Littner avoided taking part in politics at Kamina City. She wanted to distance herself from her warrior past and start a new life as “Yomako” in Koreha Island. She became an elementary school teacher, and later took on the role as the school’s principal.

Kipi is the cosplayer behind this beautiful Yoko cosplay! It’s been a while since I last featured her, but I’ve also noticed I only have Yoko in my Gurren Lagann collection. I suppose more research is in order! Thanks to You Mi for sending this in, and to Kyouran Kyoudai for the photos!

Meeting Kipi @ Genting!

So I went for a short short short weekend getaway at Genting Highlands located in Malaysia with a few friends. It was an awesome trip and the cool climate there was such a refreshing relieve from Singapore’s  usual burning.

at the malls with arcades and ‘Funland' like stores

On the last day of our trip, we took a cable car ride down hill to visit the ponies and gawk at the awe-inspiring scenery of the highland. And while brisk walking to the cable car area, an unexpected encounter arises!

To my utmost astonishment, I saw a famous Japanese Cosplayer at one of the NeoPrint shop! And she is……..

 

KIPI!!!!!

Yes, the famous japanese cosplayer. Best known for her Suzumiya and Shana and many many moe cosplays!

It was totally unexpected. This is taken outside the print shop where I saw her! And took many photos of her without permission =X

Apologies for the poor quality of my camera that refused to work under the low light. I tried my best to photoshop as well as I could but the quality are still pretty shitty u_u Either way, hope you guys will enjoy them!

So did you guys enjoyed it? HAHAHAHHAA. Apologies for taking photographs without permission. Bad Kaika xD

I seriously wonder how long these photographs have been there. The colour seemed somewhat washed out when i saw it in RL and honestly, how can anyone call Neoprint a ‘Latest Attraction’ ?! That thing has been around for near 2 decades! Old enough to be a teenager by itself!

I wonder how Kipi would feel if she saw this. How would you feel if one fine day, you find your own Cosplay photos printed and plastered on A2 size pillars?

If you ask me, I’d admit, it is a big compliment. BUT I’d also feel greatly displeased to have my hardwork and intellectual property so blatantly USED and EXPLOITED without permission!

Yes, piracy is prevalent and heck,  everyone of us here has in some ways been part of it too by supporting Vocaloid PVs and variety shows on Youtube and downloading scans or Animes etc.

But when things are brought out of the virtual world and into a physical + COMMERCIAL world. I believe we are talking about something on a totally different scale altogether. Of course one might argue that maybe that shop owner is Kipi’s personal friend or have paid her a hefty commission fee. But I frankly doubt.

What do you guys think?

Gundam Seed Destiny: Meer Campbell 04

gundam seed destiny cosplay - meer campbell 04A young woman who received plastic surgery so that she would look like Lacus Clyne, Meer Campbell was used by Gilbert Durandal in order to get the citizens on PLANT to support him. She is flirty, excitable, and adores Athrun Zala, although he does not feel the same way. When Athrun defects, he attempts to convince Meer to escape Gibraltar with him, but she refuses as she prefers to live as Lacus Clyne.

Kipi is the cosplayer behind this Meer, though I can't recall Meer wearing a bikini in the series. It's been a while since I've seen it though. Thanks to O' Brian for sending this in!

Kipi speaks mandarin!

Thanks to sasukesloverin’s upload (which looked like it originally came from tudou). Here is the much hailed cosplay goddess speaking mandarin! What a surprise!

I have no idea when this was filmed but for those of you who don’t understand mandarin, look below for my translation.

“Happy New Year to everyone, I'm Kipi.  Chinese New Year is just around the corner and Kipi is here to offer her greetings. Kipi wishes everyone good health, prosperity and may you be happy everyday. Please continue to support Kipi’s cosplays”

I cringed at her mandarin pronounciations but I liked how she spoke japanese. No act-cute syndrome. Me likes :D

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni: Ryugu Rena

higurashi no naku koro ni cosplay - when the cicadas cry - ryugu rena by kipiThe main female protagonist of the question arcs, Rena is a kind girl who is also naïve and usually the subject of teasing by Maebara Keiichi. She loves all things she considers adorable calling them "kaii" which is actually "kawaii" only slurred. She also likes to take them home, and is virtually unstoppable when doing so. She also tends to utter the phrase "hau" when she is excited or flustered, and has a habit of repeating phrases at the ends of her sentences.

Beautiful Rena by Kipi! I wasn't sure which anime this was from, but Tama-chan was a big help with that! Thanks again for the contribution, Tama-chan!

La Verdadera Kipi = The Real Kipi


HAve anyone seen this before?

Edit: Realise I accidentally published this entry prematurely. Added my intended comments below =)

Honestly, the 'before' picture is so damn fake! This guy/girl obviously photoshopped Kipi's usual photo to look 'uglier', THEN did this video.

Pretty pointless of a video if you ask me.Makes me wonder what is the motive behind this.

Vocaloid 2: Kagamine Rin

vocaloid 2 cosplay - kagamine rin by kipi

The second installment from Vocaloid 2, Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Len are 2 voice synthesizers packaged into one. According to their official blog, Rin and Len are not siblings, but mirrors of one another. In fact, the family name is comprised of "kagami" meaning "mirror" and "ne" meaning "sound". Rin and Len is also a pun for Left and Right.

Kipi makes an awesome Rin. I wonder who'd be a fitting Len for her?

Kipi Greets Her Chinese Fans


My Chinese is pretty rusty, but this is a video of Kipi sending her New Year's Greetings to her Chinese fans.

I was pleasantly surprised that her voice isn't high pitched and squeeky cute. >.<;;; And it's nice of her to make this video for her fans... Not a lot of cosplayers do that. :)

School Rumble: Tsukamoto Tenma

school rumble cosplay - tsukamoto tenma - kipiChildish though good natured, Tsukamoto Tenma is the main protagonist of the series, School Rumble. She is often mistaken to be younger than her classmates, and even younger than her sister, Yakumo. She is often dense and clueless even when the situation is quite obvious. Nevertheless, she is a typical student, who likes professional wrestling and is a fan of the Jidaigeki TV show, “The Three That Were Slashed”.

Kipi never does fail to impress when it comes to cosplaying. I love how she got Tenma’s hair spot on. Great work as usual! I hope we’ll get to see more of her cosplays soon.
