Discovering Cosplay

I found out that the English cast of cowboy bebop was gonna be at Kami-con (2014). So I decided to go to it when I found out that a lot of people was gonna be in cosplay.

I thought that would be fun! I made a bad Yusuke Urameshi cosplay, (Yu Yu Hakusho is my fave anime) and went to the convention.

Seeing people who like the same things that I do. It made me want to go to more cons meet more people with the same interest and to cosplay more characters that I love.

First convention as a Cosplayer

I went to Kami-con 2014 (as Yusuke Urameshi) as I walked into the convention to get my badge I ran into a young Genkai cosplayer (a character from Yu Yu Hakusho) and her Genkai cosplay was really good!

Seeing people who like the same things that I do, It made me want to go to more.

Overview

Matty G. Cosplay

Our cosplayer Mattew has indeed a huge talent to share with us! due to his situation, I completely understand and feel the sadness even the way he answers my questions.

I love his perception about Cosplay, that one should cosplay the character he/she is passionate about. I’m contented of having him in this interview!

Thanks again to our friend Sean for recommending him, I would like to extend my gratitude on Matty. Since I’ve mentioned about his fundraising, here is your chance to help him as well.

He is not just a Cosplayer but also a prop maker, Anime/comic Gamer, Fitness enthusiast and IT guy I will surely support him.

Help Matty fight cancer!

From his Instagram account written and below are the photos he is selling.

I am using my Nightwing superhero powers to support, honor and fight breast cancer! Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and has included members of my family, including my Grandmother and Aunt.

I am raising money for Nightwing Breast cancer awareness by selling 8×10 photos of me posing as Nightwing for $7.50. Photos taken by The Triforce photography and mailed.

Donations are also appreciated!
