>How well is your vision when wearing the head? Do you have to have a handler walk with you?
No, but I wouldn't try using stairs as I can't see my feet.
>What does it feel like wearing the head? Is it heavy?
Not much different to a motorcycle helmet.
>>How hot does it get inside the costume, is there a preferable time and climate to perform?
Depends on the location, but on average it doesn't unless I'm at a convention without air conditioning.
>>What do you wear underneath the skin besides padding (and in the case of crossplayers, fake breasts)? Do you just wear underwear? Do you wear pajama pants or sweatpants?
Underwear, but I shower everytime before wearing my kig.
>How do you prevent anxiety while performing?
Simply doesn't happen, so can't help with that.
>How do you prevent yourself from burping, sneezing and farting while performing?
Same as above.
>>What do you think of kigurumi live shows (Sailor Moon, Precure, etc.)?
It's fun for kids, I guess.
>What do you think of more traditional mascot costumes like pic?
Varies depending on the design, a lot of US mascots look pretty horrdid desu.
>Have you worn a costume like pic, if not would you like to?
Yes, for the booth of a plushie retailer (the bunny listed in https://www.amunet.co.jp/costume.html)), was kinda awkward with the anatomy.
>Have you ever slept in your costume?
No, I would kill myself if it got damaged during that.
>Have you ever suffered a mishap while performing?
Had heat strokes with older masks at cons during summer, not recommended.
