/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Pic related, would love to see a group doing this

I got the "cycling jersey" version off Aliexpress:

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Yowamushi-Pedal-shohoku-cycling-jersey-short-sleeve-cycling-clothing-men-Cycling-Bib-Shorts/1852137058.html

They pretty regularly go on sale for half off (which is closer to the taobao price) so wait for that to happen. I was impressed by the quality -- the shorts are a little see-through but I wear compression shorts under them anyway so it's not an issue. If you're particularly curvy the jersey top will pull a bit (it's made for a male body) but either sizing up or wearing something like the ultimate tank binder under it will fix that problem.

More people need to cosplay Makishima's fashion disasters tbh.

And Naruko is my anime child but Kinjou is my husbando.

>>8281971
Aah, my roommate and I were actually considering doing this. It really brings us back to our Katekyo Hitman Reborn days haha.

Also Shinkai and Midosuji are best husbandos tbh

>>8282054
A person after my own heart. I plan on cosplaying Shinkai in this version after my next con. A few friends want to do the whole group and I'm signed up for Toudou, but Shinkai is so precious.

>>8282054
HA, I'm so happy I wasn't the only one being taken to the KHR days. I hope you and your roommate do it! It looks like such a potencially fun cosplay for a photoshoot especially, if you don't mind getting a bit of paint on wigs (or if you know how to wash it off)

>>8282015
I was almost sure I've seen that same cycling jerseys for around 30$, gotta dig around. Thanks for the link! And taking the chance, where did you get your compression shorts from?

Ahh Makishima's fashion disasters are actually on my cosplay wishlist.

>>8282120
Also from Underworks! They don't compress a lot but it's enough to smooth out my hips/butt.

Yeah, I got that jersey for $35ish, that listing will go "on sale" from time to time. I'm sure other sellers have it listed too though.

>>8282133
Just got the jersey for 20Eur, now to wait and see! Kinda worried about the size but it should be easy enough to sell it in case the size isn't good for me.

Gotta check Underworks then, thank you!

>>8282101
I think you're the one after my heart. Shinkai is so perfect. I would kill to see more cosplayers of him. But good luck on Toudou! I've noticed people seem to have a difficult time when it comes to wigs for him.

>>8282114
Our first thought was those glorious orange jumpsuits. I wonder if it's just a coincidence that Yowapeda has similar art? But man, I wish more of our friends were into it so we could get a full group. I also kind of wish Miki was included, just because I didn't have any plans to cosplay one of the boys aah. Oh well!

IMAIZUMI IS LOVE, IMAIZUMI IS LIFE

> mfw I don't have the body type to cosplay any of the characters
> mfw I'll have to content myself with taking pics at cons instead

>>8282015
I've met other cosplayers with the uniforms that closely resemble the real cycling kits and they all say the shorts are weird in the butt. They have that butt pad thing that feels and looks like a diaper.

I got my uniform on taobao and its the exact same one that is being sold marked up on ebay/amazon.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.49.4L841M&id=36625942381&ns=1#detail

This one is more of a cosplay rather than a cycling kit. it feels really comfy, simple and no complaints. It is a little bit thicker than the cycling kit uniform.

Andy and Frank are my husbandos. I want an Izumida body pillow so I can rest my head on his chest.

>>8282162
Well, that's because cycling shorts are actually padded. I will give you that it's a little weird and stiff because it's not the high-end gel padding, but it is accurate to cycling shorts. It does sort of do a weird buckling-in thing in the front if you don't have a penis, which is making me tempted to very slightly stuff the next time I wear it.

>>8282162
I have that one for Sohoku and I can't help but feel it seems a bit.. off? The kits with butt pad do look like a diaper but these ones just look.. weird because they don't have the diaper/don't feel like cycling uniforms. It is much thicker than the cycling ones and pretty comfy, that's for sure.
Also, I was dumb enough to just wash it normally and everything turned into a yellow and red spotty mess

>>8282150
I actually got a really nice wig for him. I need to style it more but I let a friend use it for a convention and was impressed. My only issue is that it's a little thin, but I can do the square-forehead with it.

Shinkai is an angel. Bless you, anon.

>>8282182
>>8282186
The simpler kits are just a nice alternative to the accurate cycling uniforms. I don't even own a bike, I just want to be comfortable while walking around the con.

>>8282133
Hnn, sorry for so many questions but what model did you get..? I'm looking at their website and I'm considering getting the ultimate binder tank but I'm unsure about the compression shorts..

>>8282202
I just like them a bit more accurate but I do understand wanting to be comfortable at cons. Though I have friends who own the cycling kits and say they are comfortable too so, shrug. It's down to preference.

>>8282206
I got the microfiber compression shorts!

>>8282202
Honestly the least comfortable part of the cosplay was the fact that I bought actual cycling cleat shoes (without cleats screwed on) and forgot to put rubber treads on the bottom of the shoes before I went to the con, so I nearly ate it several times. Ymmv though

Let's post some yowapedal cosplays!

>>8282245
Seconding!

>>8282015
Here's someone who didn't cosplay the generic uniform at least

I like how they had the whole group with matching uniforms and shoes. That Izumida is incredible.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vz-YaluDm4

>>8282300
All of them are at least a 7/10 bless I love this group.

>>8282300
Actually now that I look closer their uniforms are slightly different but the shoes all match.
>>8282304
I love that they all went the extra mile to wear make up. I really wish more men would wear make up while cosplaying.

>>8282300
I'm fucking dying at Izumida introducing Andy and Frank. Also he's nearly a dead ringer for the stage play actor.

Also I'm with >>8282316 thank god they all did their makeup and did it well. Fukutomi's contouring is a little much but at least he did it.

>>8282346
Fukutomi's contouring is tsuyoi! Is this guy the same Izumida cosplayer in the video?

>>8282359
I wish I knew if this guy has a cosplay page or something. I live for amazing Izumida cosplays!

>>8282359
Yep, his name is Ao

>>8282371
He's a gift.

>>8282162
That's because they're real knockoff kits for cycling, not cosplay. There are also official cycling uniforms available by Wave-One but Bandai (?) also released a line specifically for cosplaying. I don't know the name offhand but they always come up on Mandarake.

>>8282378
Keeping the Izumida love going, CNFNKY is also a gift.

On a related note, there was a event, GSR Cup Cycle Race held in Chiba last Saturday where contestants also cosplays while racing. Majority of them cosplayed Yowapeda, of course.

>>8282448
>Kinjou in the Yonan kit

Oh no, my heart.

Reposting this for the curious.

CosSky ones like >>8282162 are what I have.
> material is a thick, spongy synthetic athletic knit
> incorrect seams for cycling kits, but look good in photos and aren't too thin (less prone to showing panty lines, but still wear a thong if you can)
> colors and fonts are anime-accurate
> sized/cut for feminine frames

For the common bike-kit style ones like Mike's >>8282430
> often cheaper than cossky uniforms
> thinner material, print can tend to stretch and pale out
> can be worn as actual bike gear (has proper padding)
> typically sized/cut for masculine frames

Both have their pros and cons. Match to your group and double check your measurements before ordering, custom size it if you have to.

>>8282536
Thank you anon, I was just going to search the archives for that.

>>8282430
those quads

>>8282546
I know Anon, I know...

I want to sit on his lap.

>>8282546
>>8282581
I feel kimo creeping on him on 4chan because I've met him in person but we're all anonymous so ??? but yeah he's really good looking.

>>8282536
bike kits are not thin and print isn't fading
it's tight fitting for wind resistance reduction, but not specifically sized for masculine frames

>>8281971

I have one of these types >>8282430
from Aliexpress if anyone has questions.

I'm 5'4" with a cyclist build (thunder thighs). I got the bib shorts (shorts with suspenders) and jersey both in size M.

Chamois (diaper/butt pad) is larger than the typical women's chamois. I can definitely see the discomfort if you've never worn cycling shorts.

>>8281965
they really shouldn't but the loose sleeves and stick legs bother me so much.

Not exactly cosplay but this perfect person made my love for Izumida grow madly

Anyone know where I can get Yonan uniform? I try looking for it on taobao but no luck
I would rather not have to make it but I might have to at this point

>>8283261
Does it even exist for sale? I don't think I've ever seen them. Only now have some Hiroshima uniforms started appearing, you'll probably have to make yours for Yonan or wait

>>8282015
I'm thinking of cosplaying Maki's cooking outfit

>>8282596
>i feel kimo
holy shit i'm not the only one who says this

>>8282596
>>8283560
Fucking weebs, that's not even how the word would be used.

>>8283033
He is fabulous and further proof that all Izumidas are wonderful gifts.

>>8283440
I have seen various cosplayer wearing them so I figure there had to be a store selling them already
Guess ill just have to make it

>>8283673
I gotta look around then, I am yet to see a single cosplayer in a Yonan uniform.
I hope you can find it or succeed making yours!

>>8282596
yeah same, when i saw him for the first time at pmx, my heart fluttered

>>8283562

>>8282536
I personally like the kits better because they're more accurate and the shorts look a ton better than the cosplay versions

Taking the chance from the bad makeup thread

>>8288269
HERE COMES MAKI-CHAN

>>8288274
The one time Toudou says no

>>8288280
why are you breaking up with me, toudou

Sometimes less is more, it seems YowaPeda cosplayer are guilty of going overboard with makeup

Maybe it's just me but some characters just look better with more subtle makeup (or heavy makeup done in a way that you don't notice it's that heavy)

>>8288274
>>8288285
how in the world does she feel ok putting these ugly af photos online

>>8288312
I don't know but considering the amount of Makishima selfies she has on her instagram, I'd say she feels very ok with it

>>8288335
She has so many on facebook too. It feels like she puts every single on of them online

>>8288410
I wasn't even aware she had a facebook but I do think she posts all of them online. All with the same disgusting makeup and super out of character

>how dare you do this to Maki-chan

To counter balance that awful Makishima, have some more pedal bros.

I feel like these kids who are doing the heavy handed make up need to take a look at the stage play actors. Anyone who is thinking about cosplaying from yowamushi pedal should look at the stage play actors for inspiration. This is a good example for make up on a character who normally wouldn't wear make up but for a cosplayer who needs to for eyebrows, moles or eyelashes.

>>8290209

While I'm on the topic of make up I know for a fact that most if not all the guys posted here >>8289307 are wearing make up. I saw a youtube video of them getting ready in a hotel room at PMX but I think the uploader has made the video private or unlisted. I'm just trying to make a point that not all yowamushi pedal cosplayers have offensive make up.

>>8290213
They're wearing each other's character's shirts? Stop that's too much.

Overall I think the stage play interpretations of the characters are really well done.

>>8290213
The ship is strong and sailing

>>8290676
>>8290678
These two are so cute in the stage plays I love it so much.

>>8289307
>>8290223
Can confirm this. I don't know if the video exists anywhere but FB, but there's also a hilarious video of some cosplayers helping CNFNKY get his eyelashes on at a later meet. He's getting better at applying it himself.

I wanna cosplay as fem!Onoda for an upcoming con, but I'm not sure what I should do with my hair. I have long black hair that goes to my bust. Should I get a wig anyway, or should I be lazyfag and pull my hair up in a ponytail? Also, what kind of shoes should I get for this cosplay?

> mfw I feel tempted to bring an entire bike to convention grounds

>>8292719
If you live in the US you can get cheap white velcro shoes and you can paint sections of it yellow to make something similar to his bike shoes for about $12.

>>8292802
I mean to say if you live in the US you can go to walmart and get cheap shoes. Sorry about that. I'm sure you can find some cheap white velcro shoes in any country or buy them online too.

>>8292802
Please please please don't do this shit. Roadie shoes are nothing like velcro old man walkers. Also they have a cleat on the bottom, pic related, that clicks into road pedals. They make you walk funny. I don't know if that's worth it to you for realism, so maybe take the cleat off.

Some notes on OP as well. Those are like department store bikes and the handlebars and brake levers are grossly misaligned. It takes 10 seconds to correct, and I'm sure the anime shows them correct.

>>8292954
You can find cheap but passable road racer shoes on ebay -- you can attach a cleat but I didn't for safe walking purposes. I got mine for $20 including shipping. Don't do sneakers, it looks really bad.

>>8282371
>>8282430
>>8283033
>tfw no sexy Izumida to fuck you in the ass while shouting ABU!

why live?

>>8282371
I just noticed this but in the top left panel, Izumida is from team Hakogay
I'm amused

>>8294082
*top right, sorry

>>8294082
>Hakogay

>>8294102
perfection

>>8294078
>>8294102
I think its universally accepted that the Hakogaku team are a bunch of gay nerds.

I want to see a big strong man to this Shinkai cosplay.

>>8294114
I haven't seen any muscular guys cosplay anyone but Izumida.

>>8294194
This is the most muscular guy I've seen in a yowapedal uniform. I don't have any info on him sadly.

>>8292804
>>8292954
>>8293089
Thanks for the feedback, guys! Another question of mine: should I use my natural, black hair so people can tell I'm cosplaying as a genderbent version of Onoda? Or should I buy a wig that's closer to his hairstyle anyway?

In honor to the Makishima girl, let's post good examples of Makishimas, being full cosplays or makeup tests (since the whole fuss about her was related to the makeup). Google, tumblr, instagram, worldcosplay, anything, search away

Pis related, cute Makishima, even tho it's shooped

The stage play actor is a good example of a fantastic Makishima without the need for overdone makeup >>8290213

>>8294547
I think the first think that really makes your cosplay is being decently lanky. If youre chub or average its so hard to get the Maki feel. (But i mean if you love maki a lot by all means go ahead but dont expect to be the 'best maki ever')

Padding up the shoulders/torso area could help too. but very subtle and eye make up that makes your eyes smaller is definitely better than all that shojo make up

>>8294261

> should I use a wig

are you seriously asking this.

>>8294261

Only when cosplaying toudou you could pull off a wigless look with natural hair, because the hairline on the taobao wigs look like shit.

but if youre doing onoda Id say no. get a wig.

>>8294556
As a chubby Makishima cosplayer, I actually don't know how I never even thought of padding my shoulders and that's actually a pretty good idea? Thank you! I think I'm going to invest in some sort of body shaper for my thighs/butt especially, as well. I can't help my height and I don't have a lanky bodyframe to begin with but Maki's my favorite and I really just cosplay him out of love for the character, so might as well do my best in the process.

>>8291986
Bless him.

>>8294577
no problem! Maki has relatively broad shoulders so I think it helps to create that contras as well as giving you a more 'male' frame.

Maki and Naruko are my faves (along with Arakita) but their body types are so specific I cant see myself cosplaying any of them (let along swear such tight outfits).

Good luck anon!

>>8294640
I've done it once for a different cosplay and it did help the overall sillouette, I have no idea why I never remember to do it again.

Arakita is also one of my favs! And they have other outfits that you can cosplay if you're not comfortable with the tight cycling uniforms? I personally am considering the school uniform and one of Maki's terrible casual fashion outfits, since they'd probably be a better option to "hide" my body shape.

Thank you!

>>8294640
>>8294661
> mfw Imaizumi is my bae
> mfw I'm a shortie

>>8294661
Different anon, but also struck by how I've never thought of this. How did you go about doing it?

>>8294661
thats true haha, but the only definable thing about arakita is his eyebrows and growling face which, doesnt really help because i have a repetitively square face. Im happy just watching everyone else haha. School uniform could always be an option if i ever feel up for it.

>>8294690
No one can ever achieve the amount of chin Imazumi has.

>>8294707
Imazumi is a dorito.

>>8294699
Hm the one time I've done it I just added shoulder pads to the jacket I made. For YP I'll probably just end up sewing them to the shoulders of a white tshirt and wear it under the cycling uniform or so? I keep reading the cycling kits have somewhat thin and are slightly see through (still waiting for mine, my previous uniform was the non-cycling one but it had an accident), so I assume wearing something underneath will be better. It'll be sandwiched between the shirt and my binder's straps anyway

>>8281965
please don't my brother wears one of the jerseys unironically when we cycle

he actually was in a charity ride wearing one of these as well

>>8294962
post pics of brother

>>8294962

the question is: is he hot

>>8294988
he has gf

5'11" half jap skinny guy who works in the food supply (to restaurants) industry

>>8295006
Ok cool but post pics of him in his yowapedal jersey.

>>8294962
Please don't, what?

>>8288269
>>8288285
>>8288274

>>8294640
>Maki and Naruko are my faves (along with Arakita)
Are you me anon

>>8294640
>tfw Midou is your favourite but you're short, female, and not nearly skinny enough

Life is suffering.

>>8294962
Sounds like some bullshit. Post pics of brother.

Does anyone have any Toudou wig recommendations? All the ones I've seen on taobao look so bad...

>>8296322
You'd need a lacefront, or use your natural hair.

>>8294962
>seig
>physical activity
okay.

>>8295331
Im not you but I can assure you that you have good taste.

>>8295389
I'm sorry anon, perhaps do ishigaki and bring pet lizard?
