Cosplay - Himura Kenshin

Navigation: [history] [media]

My second cosplay outfit.
Name: Himura Kenshin
From: Rurouni Kenshin / Samurai X

Description: Kenshin is probably best know from the series english name: Samurai X, and doesn't really need an introduction.

Costume: The costume itself might actually be the most simpel I'll ever have (as it's a pretty much default samurai style outfit except for the colors). Also includes a Katana and Wakazashi.

Made By: Fénicia

Made For: F.A.C.T.S. 2003

First Worn: Sakura Club meeting

Status: I really like this outfit, and I'll probably wear it again at almost any event as a secundairy costume. It's really comfy and although plain, yet somewhat nice.

 

Here you'll find a history listing of the progress together with pictures and movie
clip(s). (when avaiable)

Date Event
 
13 mar 2003 Costume finished.

Now I only need to wait till my Geta's and Zori's arrive that I ordered from the net ...

As for Tabi's, I'll let Fenicia make those, that way it'll be a lot cheaper.
08 mar 2003 Went shopping with Fénicia for the fabricks.

Pretty much default stuff. About 5m white and 3m Blue.

Guess it won't be very exiting to write about the making of this one ^_^
24 feb 2003 Decided to make a Kenshin costume.

This one was originally planned to be made before the Yue outfit.

That is, the Hakama, the white and the blue vest.
Clip taken with a webcam in my room Just a little clip of me playing with the wakazashi.

Nothing worth viewing ^_^

A bit expensive because of the katana/wakazashi, but since I already had those, they don't cost me a thing.
