What is kigurumi?

All hands on deck! Kigurumi (着ぐるみ) is some 'o the finest cosplay upon the seven seas! The lad in question dons a full-body skinsuit (it be called a "hadatai") along with an anime mask. The word "kigurumi" is comes from the Eastern Seas of Japan and it refers to any kind o' full-body disguise like those scalawag fursuiters and the like. But don't go postin' them scoundrels here or we'll throw ye to the sharks! We' just be lookin fer some fine anime-mask kind o' kigurumi.
