Veterans in the field of costume design, Miyuu Takahara and Kenji Weston have for years designed and created their own striking cosplays. They frequently attend large scale anime and other themed conventions in Osaka, Tokyo and Los Angeles, and feel privileged to have experienced cosplaying in both the East and West. Kenji's personal cosplay preference is Marvel and Capcom characters, while Miyuu has held an abiding devotion to anime and manga since her childhood. Both share one great quality: enormous experience giving all kinds of advice and knowledge to fellow cosplayers. Building on this trait, the pair teamed up and began writing short primer posts on web forums, advising others on certain subjects on which they became authoritative. The ultimate step came in 2015, when they teamed up to publish Cosplay - The Beginner's Masterclass, a lengthy book that offers guidance all major aspects of cosplaying.
