 Cosplay is a contraction of the two words costume and role play. Cosplay is centered on dressing like ones favorite anime, manga, and/or video game character. Some even make up there own costume from none of the above. Either way most are hand crafted. Countless hours spent on the finest details in there costume. There are also some that can be store bought but that depends on your budget and creativity.

Each episode ran about 15 minutes, and took place in Akihabara, Tokyo - the cyber city of Japan. The story begins when a woman, named Saki, tries to find a job to hide from a bar gang, since she had worked at a bar before. She ends up getting a job at a Maid cafe called Meido no miyage (Maid's gift). She is the third maid to be joining the cafe. With the addition of being homeless, she lives in a 24h internet cafe.

Many people who cosplay (deemed cosplayers) can be found at your favorite conventions such as Animazment, Comiket, Otakan, and many others. Many conventions will have a masque, costume contest and cosplay chess. These games and others along with special attention make cosplaying especially popular in the US. But what really pushed cosplaying in the state was the imported Japanese anime. Bleach, Cowboy Bebop, and Naruto are a crowd favorite to immolate.
