Little BSD, a cosplay izakaya in Akihabara, has been offering blue-colored yaki soba at Moe1 Grand Prix, a moe character regional development event.
Although they are careful not to use the name, it's fairly obvious from the coloring (and the cosplay costume of the staff!) that this is an attempt to be an unofficial Hatsune Miku-themed food.
Miku is the famous artificial character created for the Vocaloid singing synthesizer by Yamaha and now with a whole life of its (her?) own.
The noodles are only available in limited numbers, no doubt as the dye needed is a rare ...
At the recent World Cosplay Summit in Nagoya, Japanese cosplayers were among the winners
Held annually since 2003 and featuring cosplayers from 20 countries worldwide, some 18,000 people came to see the event.
This year's overall winners were Yukari Shimotsuki and kaito, both dressed as characters from the Hakuoki ...
As we all know, Japan -- or at least, Japanese pop culture -- has a serious liking for the yaeba snaggletooth. Some girls even get their teeth changed so that they have the protruding, pointy upper canine look.
Apparently there is so much demand for this brand of beauty from certain kinds of men that we now learn there is even going to be a pop band solely devoted to girls with the "cute" dentures. And not just any band -- it's a cosplay otaku one!
Apparently a world-first, TYB48 -- no prizes for guessing which band they are imitating in their nomenclature, then -- is launching out of ...
They say that all Japanese men are babies deep at heart -- and I can believe it. From their wives to their hostesses, all they really want us is a mother to look after them.
Well, now with this Baby Play Cosplay costume set they can go one step further.
We're not sure how big the actual adult baby fetish is in Japan -- though, it's a fact that there's a fuzoku sex club for everyone -- but this cosplay pack is probably the best way to start off if you're curious.
In it you get a diaper, dummy, bib, breast milk lotion, and an onahole, so you can act out those baby fantasies, ...
What will sex be like in the future? What will masturbation be like?
We can already hook up masturbators to computers via USB and simulate screwing porn stars. Hell, we can even have sex with onaholes designed to feel like a famous girl's pussy.
Trust the Japanese to come up with this one, though, which combines technology, anime and a futuristic outlook. 3D Custom Girl USB Onacon is an adult computer game where you can personalize your own anime girl with thousands of different parts.
Then comes the really fun bit! Add the onahole vagina to simulate having sex with your new ...
Japan frequently -- hell, basically always -- pushed the boundaries and definitions of what is expected and accepted.
We think of AKB48 and we think of cubby otaku geek men who can't get a girlfriend, jacking off and then heading to the meet-and-greet scrums with the stars, the spunk still dripping from their hands. (Seriously, there are stories like this.)
Think again. AKB is also popular with cross-dressers! Yes, there are guys who find it erotic to dress up as one of the diminutive Akihabara idols and imitate their skimpy, sexy skirts and uniforms.
For precisely these chaps ...
We're heading out later today to catch an art show. I know, very sophisticated, right? Well, this ain't some nansy pansy abstract malarkey. This is cosplay!
At pixiv Zingaro in Nakano, west Tokyo, from February 16th to 27th COSPLAY SHOWCASE will feature ten large prints of sexy cosplayers, selections from the photo book by Nobutsugu Sugiyama, which went on sale at the end of last month.
The book is based on an iPad and iPhone app where 120 cosplayers were dressed up in their finest, and then photographed with revolving technology -- so the final image can rotate. They called it ...
Us Japanese girls have a reputation for being, well, meek, right?
The truth is there are plenty of tough ladies out there. Most Japanese wives strictly control their hubbies' wallet and if you've ever met a girl from Osaka, likely you know they are not to be messed around with.
If you and your lady like the fighting spirit, then get into the real way of the warrior, history style, with these funky ninja and Sengoku Warring States period kinky costumes. I always like to give Tadashi a good whacking whenever he's feeling horny.
Recently in Japan there has been a craze for ...
Ah, Japanese girls and their obsession with cats. Approximately 48.7% of the Japanese internet (that's a very reliable statistic) is composed of images of cats, you know.
At a squint (no pun intended), many Japanese girls even look like cats! Before people accuse of being racist, we reckon the ladies know it themselves, hence why they are always dressing up in cosplay with "neko mimi" (cat ears).
And when the results are this cute, there are no complaints from us.
Continuing this theme is this new vibrator that is sure to be a big hit with the feline-loving ladies. The ...
Here's something we don't often talk about on TokyoKinky -- newhalf (nuhaafu) or transgenders!
"Otoko no Ko" (男の子) means "boy" but if written with a different kanji character (男の娘) it has a whole new meaning. It essentially is boys dressing up as girls but it's a whole world of specialist bars, cafes, magazines, manga comics, online shops and more!
A mix between cosplay culture and full-on crossdressing and transgender lifestyle, it's also men young and old. After all, Japan already has its fair share of soushoku danshi (herbivore men), the name given to metrosexual ...
