Nick: Japo (that's pronunced "Yapo" =P)
Nationality: Italian
Birthday: December 13th
Age: 21
Height: 1.83
Occupation: I'm currently studying Education Studies at University.
I have some experience as an educator in a theatre lab for childern
too.
What’s your hobby? writing and shooting fanmovies; acting
Favorite color: Orange!
Favorite food: Artichokes lasagne =P anyways I'm a vegetarian, so
anything that doesn't contain meat!
Favorite movie: Donnie Darko, all Marvel-comics based movies, Tim
Burton's production, some very sad stuff like Dead Poets' Society.
Favorite book: 1984 by Orwell. And Harry Potter =P
Favorite song: I often change my mind about that!
Favorite music/artist/band: Within Temptation and Nightwish
What’s your favorite subject in the school? Used to be Italian.
Right now maybe teenage pedagogy.
What is your favorite anime-manga character? I actually prefer
american comics, or videogames. So Sora from Kingdom Hearts and Spider-
Man are top of the list.
What was your first cosplay? Why? Harry Potter's quidditch uniform.
Color-packed version of a character I loved.
When did you make your first cosplay? I was about 15. Holy crap,
it's six years now O_O
What’s your favorite cosplay?
Master-Form Sora from Kingdom Hearts II. I'm really attached to it; we shot a fantrailer too... you can watch it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-YXLI6Sed0
What is the most difficult thing making a cosplay?
Cutting the fabric. Getting the right shape so it lines with the other parts is a nightmare.
Have you ever been in anime events?
Quite a load of times =D
What was your best experience wearing a cosplay?
Two skits I guess.
The time we performed as Dragoons from Legend of Dragoon our skit ended with us shouting CHARGE! All the audience in Lucca Comics shouted back taking up their hands. That was a shiver I'd hardly forget. And our skit from X-Men: we worked together as a group and made this very dramatic scene about Jean becoming Dark Phoenix. I (Wolverine) was about to cry in the end, on the final line: "People like us aren't made to die of old age. That's my promise to you, Jean. You and me, you and me in a blaze of glory".
What do you feel when your cosplay is done?
I stare at myself in the mirror for like a century, trying to figure out if I look like the character.
In your own words: What does mean to be a”cosplayer”?
It means trying to honour the work of other people who entertained and excited you. This also means trying to give the people the same emotions you felt, even if you're making fun of them. All with a lot of irony, because you'd never take this seriously. I mean, it's still going around dressed like a cartoon!
Do you think that it is okay that someone hires a person in order to make a cosplay?
Yes, the important is having fun together. Sewing is not for everyone.
What is your next project?
A group from an Italian fantasy series, called "Cronache del Mondo Emerso". And maybe some .Hack//GU!
What do you good at?
Especially writing skits I guess. That's an important part of cosplay in Italy. I try to make things that can entertain people... after all the only work I ever had was in theatre!
Do you have problems with your parents when you are interested in cosplay?
No, it's always been ok to them.
Do your parents against your projects?
Not really. I tend to know when it's time to study =P and cosplay's better than drugs, even if it costs the same XD
Is it challenged for you to make cosplay with many details?
Sure but once or twice a year I like a challenge. The other cosplays I make are quite simpler.
What do you usually do at the moment to choose a character?
I'm quite into the main characters. And nobody ever picks them. Anyways I tend to discuss it with my group.
What would you do if you won an award for the best cosplay in your city?
It happened, that's always exciting. Just once as a single-cosplay, but with our group we won a lot of awards.
Have you ever made in group a cosplay? Why?
Nearly always, with my group (Cosplayers Within). The feeling on stage with my friends is so unique. People tend to notice that too, the fact we're deeply connected to each other in a good way.
Are you looking forward to be in the next cosplay event?
Sure thing *_* as soon as the exams end =P
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Guess I said enough! Thanks for the interview =* bye bye!
Thank you for the interview. I hope you visit Japo's gallery:

Annalisa Cosplay
I'm glad to introduce Annalisa to you ^9^
"I’m a very fun and spontaneous girl. My life deals mainly with study but I devote a lot of time to my passions, i.e. cosplay and para-para. I feel it is a way out of normal life; moreover I like organising cultural events every now and then, as I consider it a way to rise through the ranks. Actually I would like to do something similar in the future."

Actually I would like to do something similar in the future."
Fuu – Samurai Champloo .
"This costume, in spite of being easy, has taken me quite a lot of time to make due to the choice of pink tissue, since I never found the right tone!! However I can use it as a normal summer yukata, it is very versatile *_*! "
Xia – Beatmania IIDX Happy Sky .
"I’ve always been very fond of Bemanis (music games by Konami), this is a character I'm very bond to because I love the colors of her outfit!"
Padme Amidala – Star Wars Ep I .
" I love the Star Wars saga and one day I decided to make Queen Padme’s dress! The most interesting part is, in my opinion, the cape, which I hand-coloured!"
Puchiko – Digi Charat .
"This is my first cosplay, the most difficult point was the hat, that in the end turned out as the most beautiful part of this outfit!"
Buletta – Darkstalkers .
" I feel to be alike this character, due to its double personality: quiet and cute or evil and ruthless?"
Tsubaki – Kotetsu Shin Jeeg.
"This is a very new character, from the mini-series Shin Jeeg, that is a modern remake of the old Kotetsu Jeeg."
Name: Annalisa
Nick: Puchiko
Nationality: Italian
Birthday: March 1st
Age: 21
Height: 1.55
Occupation: Student of Economics at the University of Turin
What’s your hobby?
Costume and fashion designing, traveling, painting and drawing, singing, dancing, music, art, web designing, organising events.
Favorite color: blue. pink, orange
Favorite food: pizza, tiramisù
Favorite movie: Moon Child, Battle Royale, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Nightmare Before Christmast, Coming to America, Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls
Favorite book: Kitchen (Banana Yoshimoto), The name of the Rose (Umberto Eco)
Favorite song: I have many fave songs but it depends on the moment and the mood.
Favorite music/artist/band: My favorite music genres are J-music, Eurobeat, Cyber Trance, Hyper Techno, but I usually listen to everything on the air.
What’s your favorite subject in the school? Economics
What is your favorite anime-manga character?
There are many, but I would like to suggest the one I picked my nickname from, Puchiko from DigiCharat.
What was your first cosplay? Why?
My first cosplay was indeed Puchiko from the DigiCharat anime, it’s one of my fave characters and I feel alike to this person.
When did you make your first cosplay?
I made my first appearance in April 2005, at TorinoComics (Turin, Italy).
What’s your favorite cosplay?
That’s kind of a hard question but I believe my favorite cosplay is May from Guilty Gear! It’s really easy to travel with it and it’s fun to make photo shoots with her huge anchor!
What is the most difficult thing making a cosplay?
The longest and hardest part to make is the costume itself; I always find someone willing to help with armors and accessories.
Have you ever been in anime events?
Yeah, many times! *O*
What was your best experience wearing a cosplay?
I had a lot of fun during the Miss Cosplay event in 2006, at the Festival del Fumetto. I had to wear two costumes and get changed in a short time; but I had a lot of fun nevertheless.
What do you feel when your cosplay is done?
I really feel happy and content! I usually take a photo and send it to my dearest friends asking for their opinion! X°D
In your own words: What does mean to be a”cosplayer”?
In my opinion, the cosplayer is someone who, for different reasons (different for each cosplayer), begins cosplaying, that is making costumes of characters from manga, anime, videogames, etc. They can be considered as artists, because they unite for their creations many arts and crafts; or we can speak of the cosplayer as a model posing in front of cameras. I think it’s a very peculiar idea, not to be shrunk to categories, that can be truly defined only by the word “cosplayer” itself.
Do you think that it is okay that someone hires a person in order to make a cosplay?
I think that’s right, because not everyone is able to create a costume out of nothing. To make a cosplay means to wear the clothes of a character we like; that does not forbid to have costumes and accessories done. I can sew but are less gifted with weapons and accessories, so I ask for help by someone else who is more expert than me!
What is your next project?
My very next cosplay will be a renowned version of Lark, from Diebuster!, but my next all-new costume will be Mackenzie from Touch Detective.
What do you good at??
Nice question! I admit I am not tall and I look like a little girl, especially because of my face, so I usually choose cute characters such as girls but I don't get influenced too much. If I like a character I try to be similar to it, in spite of height of hair color. (Fortunately there are very good wigs! :P).
Do you have problems with your parents when you are interested in cosplay?
I have no problem with my parents, as they think it is an interesting activity.
Do your parents against your projects?
Usually they approve or respect my projects, they let me do what I want. *O*
Is it challenged for you to make cosplay with many details?
It is a challenge I gladly accept! Many times I redo costumes because they aren't as I wanted them, details are really important to me but I'm no maniac. What is essential is to make a good cosplay trying to be as faithful as possible to the original.
I think perfection is obtained with more commitment and time!
What do you usually do at the moment to choose a character?
The choice of the cosplay usually takes place like this: I find a character I’m interested in while playing a videogame, watching an anime, reading a manga, watching a movie, etc..., then I add it to my list of future cosplays only if I like their personality (are they similar to me or do they represent what I’d like to be?) and if they have a costume I’d like to wear. Then they are added to this list of costumes I’d like to make according to the money I have and the event I want to wear the costume at.
What would you do if you won an award for the best cosplay in your city?
I’d be very happy, I suppose! *O*
Have you ever made in group a cosplay? Why?
Yeah, I participated in many cosplay groups, it was a lot of fun. I think that taking part to groups is very interesting and enables to share the emotion of treading the stage with others.
Are you looking forward to be in the next cosplay event??
Yes, I can’t wait to wear the new costumes I’m making! *O*
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
This interview has been quite nice, the questions were original! Congrats!

"It's my personal website, where I try to gather photos of my costumes but also my other passions; I also see it as a mirror of my inner self. I set a radio-blog up and I periodically change its playlist according to my tastes.
I've tried to make my site more international lately by having it translated, because I'm interested in the comparison with people all around the world, hoping they can help me to become a better person! I also hope to add soon more galleries of my costume ;_; unfortunately photos taken during events are not always good!"
Thank you Annalisa!!!
