Hello!! :> My name is Nakano and I am a 22 year old cosplayer from the East Coast! I started cosplaying back in 2021 with my very first cosplay being Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe.In 2023, I began creating my own costumes and started competing in cosplay contests! The first costume I fully handmade was Strawberry Shortcake from the 1980's animated cartoon. I also style wigs and create props to go along with purchased cosplays.This site is like a portfolio and contains all my handmade costumes, props, styled wigs and past contest information. Enjoy! <3
