5月 23, 2022 NEWS

The “World Cosplay Summit” that started in Nagoya in 2003 is progressing further for everyone around the world who loves cosplay.
We Can Start!! So, let’s celebrate the 20th anniversary!

The World Cosplay Summit started in 2003 and this year is celebrating its coming of age.
The culture of cosplay, the expression of characters and works of manga, animation and related media, has changed dramatically in the last twenty years.
When this event began, it wasn’t usual to be able to enjoy cosplay in public spaces or in parades around towns, and cosplayers were hardly featured on television.
Nowadays, many cosplay events take place in the heart of our cities, and there is a good number of cosplayers who regularly appear on television and magazines.
Our goals have always been to keep trying new challenges, to propose new ways of enjoying cosplay, and to let the original works be known among as many people as possible.
With these premises in mind, the World Cosplay Summit has striven to be at the forefront.
And so, we will continue to engage in new challenges, to keep contributing further to the development of the culture of cosplay.
We are looking forward to enjoying your kind support and cooperation.
