Necroing because obscure cosplays is obscure:
We're planning to do a Juuni Kokki / Twelve Kingdoms cosplay group for Kumoricon this year. I don't know if the obscurity's gone down with the novel releases, but I've certainly hardly ever seen it cosplayed (though now that I've said that, I have to admit to seeing one cosplayer for it at Sakuracon, and one at Fanime, BUT STILL). If all plans go well, there will be a pre-Empress Youko, a Kyou-ou, a Kyou-ki, and I'll be going as
Ryuushi Risai (huzzah for relatively minor characters, especially in the anime!). I'll be working off something like a dozen anime screenshots (mostly from two scenes) and one (ONE!) novel illustration.
(Of course, the
spoilery version of her that I'm planning for next Sakuracon is even more obscure, but eh, who's counting?)
I don't know if
Nue from Air Gear counts as obscure, but I'm planning on doing him as well.
