This makes me really happy. I just wanted to say that somewhere

FateChooseMe · « **Reply #1 on:** September 07, 2010, 07:04:03 pm »

It is awesome!

RemSaverem · « **Reply #2 on:** September 07, 2010, 07:11:38 pm »

I haven't seen the image yet, but am hoping someone will do as Meg did in the past and cosplay or crossplay the male mascot.

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #3 on:** September 07, 2010, 07:17:06 pm »

I found a picture of him~!

Awesome. Thanks. How adorable!

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #5 on:** September 07, 2010, 08:40:13 pm »

I am seriously stoked about this. We've had some really cool boy mascot entries in the past and I'm so happy this year's won!
I want to commission fan art of this guy in the Kumori-girl harem.

Not that I can afford that after the convention.

StarryShay · « **Reply #6 on:** September 07, 2010, 08:46:31 pm »

A kumoricon mascot I actually want to cosplay for once?
HELLZ TO THE YEAH.
I'm pumped about this.

Is that the trick to getting more people to cosplay the mascot? Giving girls another excuse to crossplay?

Yay.

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that in the results. Hooray for Kcon's first male mascot~!
And it's funny cuz Sakuracon's mascot for next year is a guy too! : D

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #10 on:** September 07, 2010, 08:52:57 pm »

It's charmingly cute, and it does look like Near! I didn't think of it at the time, but yeah, I really like it. Very cute.

Heck yeah! xDDD
If you cosplay cute girls, you get an occasional creeper stalking you, but, if you crossplay a cute boy, you get endless amounts of fan girls and harems, and you feel like a pimp.

GOOD TIMES BRO

Tom, you should cosplay him too, and we can be twins. xD

Rathany · « **Reply #13 on:** September 07, 2010, 09:45:30 pm »

If we get enough mascot cosplayers we should have a Mascot-Look-A-Like contest

oslapedo · « **Reply #14 on:** September 07, 2010, 10:01:55 pm »

As soon as I saw the mascot I knew a ton of girls would want to crossplay him, ahahaha.

jaybug · « **Reply #15 on:** September 07, 2010, 10:04:33 pm »

No Lil' Washou, you are not the only one who thinks he looks like Near. Or would that be Neal, as R's and L's are somewhat interchangeable.

He looks good.

Ironically, one of the cosplays Meg gave me is somewhat akin to what our new mascot is wearing.

Looking forward to trying to find a wig to match.

makichan · « **Reply #21 on:** September 08, 2010, 07:39:49 pm »

So, next year's Sakuracon mascot is a boy... and our mascot is a boy... so does this make '11 no longer a sister con but a bro con, instead? :>
Eh?
EEEEHHH?
B-bro con? :'D

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #22 on:** September 08, 2010, 07:51:26 pm »

Dude! Fistbump of epicness!

@jaybug - I think it's actually supposed to be Near; I know, it can get confusing sometimes. (On a related note, <-- no pun intended, why didn't they call Light Killer? Or use the Japanese word for killer, since the inability to speak moderately-decent English is too challenging for most Japanese voice actors? Kira? Really? It sounds like a little girl's name! That's sooooo scary...)

Konan-ChanX3 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 08, 2010, 08:24:57 pm »

Washou, my best friends name is Kira, she's awesome.

And on that note, what I saw him, I was all "Ffffff yessssss I'm crossplaying him >3"

kit2kit · « **Reply #24 on:** September 08, 2010, 08:55:25 pm »

@Maki: Bro-Con. I like the sound of that :'D ... Now I want to see the 2 mascots fist-bumping.

makichan · « **Reply #25 on:** September 08, 2010, 09:19:22 pm »

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #27 on:** September 08, 2010, 11:54:34 pm »

I might actually jump on this and pull a mascot cosplay together. Once they put up the 2011 homepage I can get a good look at him and see what I would need to pull it off.

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #28 on:** September 08, 2010, 11:58:16 pm »

If we put him on a unicorn he can be Near Patrick Harris.

That'd be funny! Oh! How about if 2010 is holding a baby or chibi version of 2011 with the other ones gathering around to see him? That'd be epically adorable!!!

I had actually been thinking about why Kumoricon hadn't a boy mascot before (at least, I think there hasn't been... I looked through the galleries on the main site

). And when the mascot/next year's location/et cetera was released, I was soooo happy! He's so cute.

Plus, he has white hair... and, I really like white hair. x)
