Cosplay, or “costume play,” adds another exciting dimension to the Anime Expo experience. Convention-goers embrace this fun way to express themselves, unleash their creativity, and forge new friendships. While optional, cosplay is a popular choice for many attendees, and with over 100,000 people at Anime Expo 2022, the creativity on display was simply astounding. Throughout the event, numerous fan-organized meet-ups also provide opportunities to connect with fellow cosplayers and enthusiasts.
