Cosplay is the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game, especially one from the Japanese genres of manga and anime.
We chose Cosplay because we don't know a lot about it. Also because more people are more interested in manga and anime.
Cosplay is mostly associated with Japanese and Chinese people. They dress up like characters from anime and manga by putting on costumes.
A historical example of how Cosplay started is, "At the First World Science Fiction Convention in New York in 1939, a 22 year old Forrest J. Ackerman and his friend Myrtle R. Jones appeared in the first SF costumes among the 185 attendees."
A more modern day example is the amount of kids and teens that like to read, draw, and play anime and manga. A lot of kids dress up like their favorite characters from anime and manga. Cosplay has gotten bigger and more popular over the years. Now a lot of kids and teens also dress up like Cosplay for Halloween or other occasions.
Some famous Cosplay names are Forrest J. Ackerman, Myrtle R. Jones, Marie Claude Bourbonnais, etc.
