Anime Pasadena returned to its full-scale in-person event this past December at the Pasadena Convention Center and with it came all the incredible cosplay. On Sunday, December 12, we attended a meetup for Demon Slayer cosplay. All of our favorite characters were there, from Akaza to Zenitsu. Well no Akaza at the meetup, but that was the only A name.
Demon Slayer is an animated series based on the manga of the same name. The series revolves around a brother and sister whose parents were attacked and killed by demons. Tanjiro and his sister Nezuko, who is turning into a demon slowly, sets out to become a demon slayer to avenge his family and cure his sister.
Demon Slayer Cosplay Meet-Up
The meetup took place on the outside front steps of the Convention Center between the giant Pikachu and Grogu inflatables. The area provided lots of space to be socially distant. The vast majority of the gathered cosplayers wore masks as well. Some even specially matched them to their cosplays.
If you recognize any of these cosplayers be sure to drop their social media handles in the comments!

The term cosplay is a play on the words “Costume” and “Play.” It is a popular form of expression at most comic book conventions. Attendees dress up as their favorite characters from pop culture and attend the conventions in full dress-up. Cosplay can consist of simple themed outfits, Halloween costumes, or elaborate homemade designs.
