Anime Expo Cosplay Gallery – Day One

Cosplay, or “costume play,” is a fun way for convention-goers to express themselves, be creative, and make new friends. Cosplay is in no way a requirement for attending any convention. It is optional for all attendees. And with over 100,000 attendees there was plenty of cosplay at Anime Expo 2022. There are even several fan-organized meet-ups throughout the duration of the event.
