Ever wonder what kind of lives Japanese cosplayers lead? Meet "Isamu Itsuki" (not her real name). By day, she's a mother and housewife, and by day (these game/manga conventions don't happen at night), she's a hardcore cosplayer. For the past ten years, Isamu has been playing dress-up and making her own costumes. She's currently has seventy different outfits! What's the fun? She says that if you are wearing a character's costume, then it's easy for folks that like the character to strike up a conversation. Ridiculous clothes just breed small talk.
Thanks, Go

Man, I've been trying to get my wife into that "Princess Peach" outfit or Asuka Plug Suit for years. Maybe if I show her this she won't think it's so odd.
Nah.
Side note: I actually expect to see more of these. Just like manga and anime is now being watched by those over 30 (not just for teens), as the folks who like games and such grow older, they'll take their hobbies with them.

[x] yes [ ] no
I wholeheartedly encourage more untranslated videos of Japanese cosplayers on Kotaku.
Ashcraft, could you please get on this, stat?
:)
wow.
/agree dMek
Just.....Hawt
Now there's a man with a dilemma. I'd imagine he loves having his wife wear all that stuff..."around the house"...but then when she goes out in public to have hundreds of backpack lugging mouth-breathers snapping photos of her left and right....hmm. Maybe not so good.
[X] yes please [] no
it would be cool to have a wife like that, especially if you were into cosplay too.
She looks like she's having trouble taking the pictures of herself, and her husband is too busy playing games on the computer (while halfheartedly holding onto their child with one arm) to help. I think she needs a volunteer photographer, and I'm not above helping out a Japanese family in need.

(I think if I had a wife like that, I could easily be convinced to forget the internet even existed. Of course, I don't even have a wife of any sort to worry about that with at the moment. ;) )
[X] yes please [] no
The husband just looked at her like, uhh "yah, neat!!.. leave me alone now!!" Where does she keep 70 of her outfits, that place is tiny..
I have a soon to be wife like that :D
