Death Note: Yagami Light 04

According to Oba Tsugumi, the story writer of Death Note, Light sees Amane Misa, whom he uses as an accomplice, as a “bad person” and therefore acts cold towards her and manipulates her to the point of pretending to love her and even promising marriage to her. He did not kill her simply because of her shinigami, Rem, who threatened to kill him if Misa dies earlier than her time. Light was, however, able to manipulate Rem, who died extending Misa’s life by killing both Watari and L to save her.

Quite an impressive cosplay by Lawllipop-Bag! I don’t remember seeing those “wings” in the anime; I wonder if they’re Rem’s or something that Lawllipop-Bag came up with herself? Thanks to Billy for sending this in!

Death Note: Amane Misa 06

A famous and hyperactive singer, model, and actress, Amane Misa usually refers to herself in the third person by calling herself “Misa-Misa” to be cute. Despite her hyperactivity, she rarely allows her personal feelings about anyone interfere with Light’s plans, proving her undying devotion and loyalty to him. Like Light, she is corrupted by the power of possessing a Death Note, but she does not wish to become a god and doesn’t lose her original personality.

Pretty cute cosplay! The black nails really suit Misa’s character, but I’m not sure if we ever saw that in the original anime or manga. In any case, thanks again to Müberra for sending this in!

Death Note: Mihael Keehl aka Mello

An orphan who grew up with Near and Matt in Wammy's House, Mello was one of the candidates to become L’s successor. When it was decided that he should work together with Near in order to succeed L, however, he refused and decided to pursue the Kira Case on his own. Although Mello is quite intelligent, he has a tendency of letting his emotions get the better of him.

Beautiful Mello by Ashley Gosiengfiao and great photography by *slumberdoll! The sisters never cease to amaze me with their cosplays. Thanks to Rai for suggesting this!

Death Note: Ryuk

Bored with the activities of the Shinigami Realm, Ryuk obtained a second Death Note and dropped it in the Human Realm in hopes of amusing himself. He deliberately wrote instructions on the front page so that people would understand its purpose. When Yagami Light stumbled upon the Death Note, Ryuk began following him around to see how Light intended to use it.

That’s pretty creepy! And maybe an official image from the movie? I’m not sure, but it’s very convincing! Thanks to Caramel for sending this in!

Death Note: Ryuzaki L. Lawliet, Yagami Light, and Amane Misa

This photo has been labeled as one of the most popular deviations of all time on Deviant Art. It’s easy to see why as the cosplay and the setting is superb, but a lot of people who became jealous of this popularity gave the cosplayers a hard time.

This is one of the reasons why I don’t allow hateful comments on Cosplay Holic. I do let constructive criticism slide in once in a while, but most of the time, I delete them. Cosplayers work hard on their cosplays, and it’s all for fun. It’s not something that should be taken too seriously.

And yes, everyone, please get it straight, Yagami Light’s cosplayer in this shoot, Jin Joson aka *behindinfinity, is a girl.

Death Note: Matt

Mail Jeevas, who is more commonly known as Matt, performs espionage work for Mello. Little is known about this character aside from the fact that he doesn't care much about the real world and likes to play video games. He acts as an accomplice to Kiyomi Takada's kidnapping and is shot dead by her bodyguards. He smokes a cigarette with his last breath, leading to the speculation that he might very well be a chain smoker.

Quite an impressive cosplay of Matt. I'm not sure what the watermark "NadesicoRock" means, but I do hope that's the cosplayer's alias. Thanks for sharing this wonderful work!

Death Note: Yagami Light 02

Light is a third year high school student who attends Daikoku Gakuen and attends supplemental classes at Gamou Prep Academy. His life changes completely when he happens to find the Death Note, a shinigami's notebook that has the power to kill the human's name written in its pages.

Having been fed up with the crime and corruption in the world, Light uses Death Note in order to become the God of the New World, killing criminals without laying a finger on them.

Pretty impressive Light! I've still yet to watch this anime, but I do remember I have the live action movie DVD somewhere. Great cosplaying!

Death Note: Near

The youngest of L’s 2 successors, Near is level-headed individual who displays a series of odd behaviors very similar to L. He was raised in Watari’s Wammy House, an orphanage in Winchester for gifted children. He shows great respect for L and follows in his footsteps carefully; often using L’s methods to solve a crime and taking on only the cases that interest him.

I love how the photography turned out for this. The cosplayer really looks like Near. Very nicely done!

Death Note: Ryuzaki L. Lawliet

L. Lawliet is an extremely meticulous and analytical detective who tends to pursue cases out of his own interest than justice. He has several aliases including Ryuga Hideki, Ryuzaki, Eraldo Coil (the second best detective in the word), and Deneuve (the third best detective in the world). His doesn’t seem to care about his appearance, but he has a tendency to handle any object delicately.

Pretty convincing cosplay of this mysterious detective. I like his eyes, even though he looks pretty creepy in this picture. And I think I need to find more Death Note cosplays. 8)

Death Note: Yagami Light, Amane Misa, and Ryuzaki L. Lawliet

Kids make really adorable cosplayers. Take this picture of Yagami Light (Kira), L. Lawliet (L), and Amane Misa for example. They’re the most adorable Death Note cosplayers I’ve seen so far!

I’ve decided to create a new category in this blog known as “Chibi” to place all the photos of children cosplaying in one group. You can’t resist them, since it’s like seeing your favorite character in their younger years.

I want to take L home now…

Death Note: Amane Misa 03

Whoa… I just noticed all of my Death Note cosplay features so far are of Misa-Misa…

But you have to admit… Amane Misa is such an adorable character to cosplay…

And Kipi makes a great cosplay of her…

Actually, now I’m finding it hard to choose which Misa-Misa I like best… The first Misa whom I have no idea what the name is, the Alodia version of Misa, or this Kipi version…

I’ll let you guys decide.

Death Note: Amane Misa 02

This is the second Amane Misa Cosplay featured in this blog… But I have a hard time choosing from one or the other.

Philippine’s Cosplay Idol, Alodia “Edjie” Gosiengfiao, is so popular in the Philippines that she is usually asked to judge cosplay competitions instead of joining them. (Apparently, if she joins a said competition, she wins hands down. So she becomes a judge to “give chance to others”.)

This is originally found on Alodia’s Deviant Art. You may view the larger image here. Photography is done by Tricia Gosingtian.

Indeed… “What a wonderful way to kill.”

Death Note: The Parody

I’ve never posted a picture of a cosplay that looks nothing like the original anime or manga character. I only post pictures that I really like… But the cosplays that I like doesn’t necessarily have to look like the original anime.

Was that confusing? Well, let me show you a video I found on Sanriotown’s Dream Studio to give you a sample. Just let it load for a while first before playing it…

Thanks to Drift X for uploading the video. Please leave your comments for the video here.

Death Note: Amane Misa

The famous model, singer, actress of the anime “Death Note”, Amane Kisa devotes her life to the first Kira, Yagami Light, for killing the people who murdered her parents. She posses the Shinigami Eyes, allowing her to know a person’s name and life span when she looks at their face, particularly, their eyes.

I’ve been wanting to watch Death Note for a while now… Unfortunately, I’m missing the copies of this anime from my recent stash…

Moving on, this is an impressive cosplay of Misa-Misa. She may even rival Toda Erika from the live action film of Death Note in terms of appearances. I really don’t like Erika’s brown hair in the film, since I’m such a perfectionist in cosplay…
