We've already seen how a Tenga onacup makes for an unusual but brilliant costume for a guy.
Put a cute Japanese porn star in one and it's even better. Here is Mana Sakura posing in a Tenga onacup costume for some snaps.
She apparently had a great time, judging from her face.
We've been searching around but cannot find a way to buy these costumes, though we think they would be great for Halloween.
As we know from her previous antics, Mana Sakura LOVES Tenga.
The popular porn princess was recently in a little hot water over a college event that had to be ...
It's almost time for Halloween and the streets of Tokyo -- especially Shibuya -- are guaranteed to be packed with a zillion slinky girls donning slinky costumes (despite the rapidly dropping temperatures).
Well, if you want an original costume, we recommend you check out some of the Japanese outfits available for overseas delivery on Kanojo Toys.
Tenga onacup-inspired outfits are regularly spotted at cosplay and costume events.
Last year in Tokyo during Halloween, three guys were dressed up as Tenga onacups, while a guy in the States seemed ahead of the curve in 2009 with his ...
Cross-dressing in Japan is different to cross-dressing in other countries.
The rise of the otoko no ko cross-dressing male cosplayer, who may or may not be attracted to other men, has created a great broadening of acceptance of dressing up and gender-bending.
Bibi Lab, who specialize in making some wacky clothes and other household items, are latching onto this boom with the Boku Sera ("I am Sailor") Male Sailor School Uniform.
It's not just a Japanese schoolgirl sailor costume -- but one for guys. It's make of fleece, so it's actually warm in the winter.
Plus it's designed to ...
After witnessing the femdom butt-kicking action of idol Hitomi Nogata, we return to highlight some ladies from Niconico Chokaigi 2015.
The event is kind of a tech and otaku bonanza, organized by Niconico, a video streaming platform.
This year's event was held over two days on April 25th-26th and was the biggest yet. Visitors numbered over 150,000!
This being Japan, naturally that included a lot of cute cosplayers...
There were also some colorful (or should that be scary?) male cosplayers.

Anyone who has ever seen some of the more extreme or, ahem, unusual entries in the pantheon of Japanese adult video will be aware of ryoujoku (or ryojoku).
It's where the woman is treated in a "degraded" way, as someone violated or disgraced -- like a shamed woman. (The actual meaning of ryoujoku can be sexual assault, i.e. rape, or also "disgrace.")
A common scene in Japanese porn will have the girl treated like a "human toilet" and phrases written on her body to "shame" her.
Here is Mika Osawa demonstrating the genre.
The graffiti might say things like "¥200 ...
Fetish Festival (Feti-Fes) was held in Tokyo on Sunday January 25th at an inconspicuous venue near Harajuku.
There were 96 booths, including cosplayers, idols, bondage artists, and more, spread out over six seriously packed floors, plus a basement showing the "Underground Fetish Film Festival" screenings.
Feti-Fes was first held in January 2013, since then it has been held eight times around Japan. This festival -- the fifth in Tokyo -- was the biggest so far and there seemed to be hundreds of visitors by our estimate.
Due to legal reasons, there was no nudity allowed in the ...
Few would question that K-pop is run like a factory, churning out idols and new pop groups like snacks for the loving public. While this is a bit fascist, it's going a bit far to call it Nazi.
But some Korean pop stars themselves seem to like the Nazis, or at least elements of Nazi aesthetic.
Pritz is a minor Korean girl band comprised of four cute girls. And these girls just happen to wear black clothes and red and white armbands with a striking similarity to a certain unpopular former German political party. Surprise surprise, the foursome just got a whole lot more ...
You may well be familiar with Sailor Fuku Ojisan, the older gent with a penchant for wearing schoolgirl uniforms in Tokyo, and who has recently been seen together with the almost equally eccentric foreigner who goes by the moniker Ladybeard.
But this may be the start of an even more impressive and bizarre cosplay meme.
In a shopping mall in Osaka City on Sunday, a man made a peculiar appearance and posed for pictures wearing a quasi-adult baby cosplay costume. He had on "bloomer" sports bottoms, an elementary schooler's yellow hat, and various other school student gear that he ...

One of the most slippery and ambiguous of terms in Japanese sexuality, otoko no ko sounds like the word for "boy" but is written with in hiragana and with a final character that usually means "daughter" or "girl". In the simplest of definitions, it's a type of cross-dressing where boys dress up as girls.
This doesn't mean you are a shemale or a transexual in the western way of thinking, but it does bend the usual lines between gender, sexuality and appearance.
There are lots of clothes for cross-dressing cosplay, including stockings, bras and dresses, negligees and even wigs. ...
