A-Kon 28 Cosplay Contest

Cosplay contest time~!


Yatta-Tachi attended A-Kon 28 in Fort Worth, Texas, and it’s the longest running national anime convention in North America. People from all walks of life came together to celebrate their love of Japanese culture, anime, manga, games and some rather creative cosplay. This year for the A-Kon 28 cosplay contest, we were seated in the press section right next to the stage! We did our best to capture as many photos as we could of the contest.

If you’re one of the cosplayers, please let us know your name and a social media you want us to use for credit in the comments below! If you use the images, please be sure to give credit to Yatta-Tachi and link back to us (Facebook | Twitter | Instagram)!

As mentioned, if you’re one of these cosplayers, please comment below with your information so we can you give proper credit!
