When and how did you get started in Cosplay?
- I've started cosplaying since 2015 (it took me nearly 1 year to search for it before attending). By some of my friends.
What was your first Cosplay?
- Kaneki Ken.
What was the most difficult character?
- For each of the cosplay project, I always want to have everything perfect (but sometimes it wasn't). I think once I want to plan to cosplay any character, I have to take a good preparation so I never feel easy for any of them. So, there is no most difficult, just more difficult.
What characters are you planning and type of character are you drawn to?
- On the early days, I only cosplayed the male characters and never thought of the female ones. But in 2017, I tried putting on some female costumes and felt pretty good, then started to cosplay those. But now I think I'm gonna change my mind one more time and back to cosplay male characters again. Most of my next cosplay projects are Disney princess and Arknights' operators.
What is your process when starting from the beginning with a new cosplay?
- I always start with the wig. Even when your costume is suitable with your body, your failed wig will ruin everything, believe me. Your face shows emotion and catches everyone attention so you have to be beautiful/handsome all the time (even when you character isn't, but it's rare), and a bad haircut will take your face to the hell. So I choose to get a best wig first.
Are there any helpful hints in sewing, costume design or any other aspects of your cosplay that you discovered in doing your creations?
- I'm not talented at all. I don't have ability to do anything that can help my cosplay projects done. So I got some trustable people who help me do that (with money for sure).
Do you have a preferred brand of makeup in your cosplay? And if so why?
- I just have tried to makeup by myself for 3-4 months. Before that period of time I always had to find some makeup artists to help me with those. And now I realize that I just have to find my favorite makeup artist (but I still try to learn myself, I like Chinese interior cosmetics, they are afordable and qualified for a begginer like me).
What are you listening to?
- Classical music.
Favorite Movies?
- Thriller is my favorite type of films.
Favorite Animes?
- I liked a lot, one of them is Death Note.
Favorite TV Shows?
- Every music show.
Is there a scene from a anime, cartoon, movie or tv show that left a big impression on you and what was it?
- This is the first scene of Jessica Rabbit from the film "Who frame the Rabbit Roger?".
Books?
- Gone girl, The girl with Dragon tattoo,...
Games?
- Onmyoji, Touken Ranbu, Identity V, Arknights,...
Beverage?
- Yogurt, water, coffee.
Fast Food/ Junk Food of choice?
- Yes.
Candy bar?
- Sure, but not sweet chocolate.
Favorite Breakfast cereal?
- I live in Vietnam so I have my breakfast with "Banh Mi".
Is there something not going on in the cosplay world that you would want to see or is there something you would want to change?
- There are a lot of challanges during my cosplay road. I just want to take cosplay as a hobby, not a job. You know, hobby is something that we want to do but job is something we have to do.
What was your favorite toy growing up?
- No certain one.
Who is your biggest character crush and why?
- Jessica Rabbit. I love everything from her.
You enter a warehouse. There is little light, but you are able to find your way around. The sound of music draws you to a corner of the warehouse. There are FIVE GHOUL CLOWNS, playing a dancing video game. They have razor sharp teeth and scary weapons. Magic can not affect them; they sense your presence and turn facing you. They run to you to attack. Time to fight! What character would you want to be to defeat them and how would you handle the situation?
- Saitama (One Punch Man). His best skill, punch.
If you had to be chained with a character for one year, what would be the character and what would you do?
- Kashuu Kiyomitsu.
You can have dinner with your favorite character. And at this dinner you may ask one question. Who would be the character and what would be your one question?
- Jessica Rabbit. "How much for the next time?"
What's number 1 on your bucket list? (Something you want to do before you leave the planet).
- Lose weight.
What advice would you give to people getting started in Cosplay?
- There's no need to be too serious on this fields. Take it as your hobby, and respect yourself and your beloved characters.
