ugly?

[TheMuppetBabiesfan]

you will never know who is inside the kigurumi costumes whether it is a man or a woman , you'll never know .

[Dewani90]

shocking... one of them is a guy, still funny that this does not use gender restriction, i went once to an anime convention dressed as Jinzo and i'm a girl, the plate, shoulder-plates and breastplate were all on my head (that was to look taller) and the robe covered all my body, two friends of mine went as final fantasy mogs (biggest mogs ever), and two girl cosplayers with the boyfriend of one of them were surprised to hear a female voice coming from such an imposing cyborg cosplay, funny stuff

[TandT89]

...Precoursor of Furries? LOL SORRY JKJK.

[XoxSkittlesChickXox]

[Deadeyedavid177]

I could have sworn they were all girls?! ;(

[TheNeiljoseph]

Yes but where's the source of this clip?

[1234KittyHello]

Scary

[BlackfireVenus]

i was scared one would talk.

"HEY, I'M CUTIE KITTEH."

and the happy is gone. ;_;

[fristi2147]

I have no idea, why they censored the real faces of the kigurumi cosplayers after they took their masks off?

[coolm3productionsXD]

@fristi2147 Some people don't like being shown on television lol.

[Kayura5]

@fristi2147

thats all becuz the magic when u use a kigu...ppl love u even withouth knowin if ur a guy or girl when usin kigus...so why u would take this "magic" feeling showin ur face? xD

[mik1984]

The Kigurumis are not common transvestites. I never "kigged", but it supposedly gives you the unique experience of incorporating the character you perform. I would have nothing against performing a standard fem kig, but to be original, I would like someday to perform a male character. I wonder how it would fly in a convention. Maybe it would start a new trend. 2/3 of "kiggers" being male and nobody's in for playing a boyfriend of one of those cuties?

[yotipo91]

@HelloPrettiMUA you'll get used to it :p

[yotipo91]

[kabur88]

[Bristecom]

3:52 was cute. Especially when she puts her finger in her mouth. And she turned out to be a girl so my feelings are justified. :P

[SamD465]

I'm sorry is it just me or do those to guys remind you of Hikary and Coaru from Ouran?

[DiamondGina]

What is kigurumi is it wearing those huge masks to look like anime characters?

[leftpassenger]

@DiamondGina Kigurumi is literally a fullsuit dressup. In other words, everything that masks you completely would classify under "kigurumi" in Japanese. (Think about those fursuits, for example)

In the US and Europe Kigurumi only has the connotation of these anime-copying masks like in this video. I hope that was helpful :-)

[kigurumiguru]

Greetings, your kigurumi is beautiful!

[punckandy]

[ErikaFurudoXXx]

really good at the acting MUST HAVE KIGURUMI OF ERIKA FURUDO D<

[XxANATAGASUKIxX]

kawaii! =D

[Nobe616]

Very very manly

[kochichris]

@Nobe616 also girly you know, its for both genders, one of the players here is a girl, the kitty cat~

[emeraldline]

those guys are hot <3

[cha5]

@iip47c Nope, not true, if you watch this whole thing you can tell the blue cat girl Kigurumi is a girl when they unmask by the tone of her voice.

[coreliandude76]

They don't talk, because when you hear a deep voice saying "Hi, my name is Rick" coming out of a very femenine garment, it kind of takes the magic away. LOL XD

[xAnnaxrawrx]

@coreliandude76 lmao ;D

[mik1984]

@coreliandude76 The reason why they don't talk is that masked theater in japan was mute and first kigurumis were mimes, and as mimes they didn't talk. The rule is certainly enforced by the fact that many of them are male, but female "kiggers" also never use their voice while performing in public. Furthermore the voice of the performer, even a woman usually would not fit to the character portrayed and talking through a mask would sound like talking into a bucket.

[Waterstorm3]

I aso want one mask and become a anime cosplayer

[4021117]

not true...girls can be in female costumes as well...i'll be petrified if there is such ruling such as that

[kochichris]

@4021117 verry treu~

[leftpassenger]

What I understood of it, is that women as well as men can do this, because it is merely meant as a form of entertainment for kids and whatnot. One of the guys said that he started doing it because he was obsessed with a female character when he was little. Also, they replied that they always use female characters because as well as human characters & animal (ish) characters are way cuter when they're female XD If someone speaks better Japanese than I do, pls correct me if I said something wrong.

[kerensam]

@leftpassenger When they asked the one guy "Even though you're men/a man, why do you dress as a girl?" he replied with:

"Kids are more apt to approach a woman."

The woman chimed in with, "Girls are better than boys, and animals are better than girls." in regards to the children approaching kigurumi cosplay people.

[leftpassenger]

Thanks, you made me realize my Japanese sucks XD

[vera262]

curiouser and curiouser

[rallygsc]

Kigurumi is not uncommon in Japan, but in America too many fans are using it for a cross gender experience which is really scary

[doomage101]

@rallygsc apparently you're oblivious...yes...some girls do it too...but there is quite a chunk of men out there..in japan also..who do the cross dressing...which is pathetic..

[kochichris]

@rallygsc thats the wrong way of doing kig, kig is a hobby art, and make kids happy~

[quartzy]

Can anyone translate the interview in the end?

[ZerglingRushkeke]

hey this is pretty cool

[Hiimitsu]

Technically this is not very tasteful, one should never talk while inside a suit, and certainly when doing this, it was meant never to reveal what your real gender is.

[themilliondollarbaby]

translation...
