Top 10 Reasons Why People Cosplay

Post image

Every cosplayer has their own reasons as to why they want to do it. Most people start cosplaying because they are a fan of the character, game, or series, and they want to express their feelings for it. Some of them are content creators that do live streams and they receive a suggestion to cosplay for better views and to gain more subscribers.

Nevertheless, cosplay is a form of art and a huge influence was based in Japan. It started in 1984 and up until now, it is still a huge phenomenon. The cosplay market was valued at $34.5 Billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $92.8 Billion in 2030. So if you wanna dip your toes in the cosplay world, here are the top 10 reasons why cosplayer does cosplay.

  1. Creative expression: Cosplay allows people to creatively express themselves and their interests through the characters they choose to cosplay. As I mentioned, it’s a form of art that many or few people appreciate. These cosplayers can show off their skills in crafting costumes and props, as well as their performance abilities.

  2. Love for the character: When you’re so invested in a movie, you tend to talk about it to your friends, suggest the movie to them, and perhaps watch it together to witness their reaction. That’s the same thing as cosplaying. Cosplayers often choose characters that they love and admire, and by dressing up as them, they can embody the persona of the character and feel like they are a part of that world.

  3. Escapism: Cosplay allows people to escape from their daily routine and become someone else, even if it's just for a day or a few hours. I know a lot of dancers who dance as a way to escape the thoughts that are going on in their heads. It’s basically the same thing as doing cosplay. They can forget about their problems and fully immerse themselves in a different world and persona.

  4. Community and socializing: Cosplay creates opportunities for people to socialize and connect with others who share the same interests. It allows them to make friends and form communities where they can support and learn from each other.

  5. Self-confidence and self-esteem: By dressing up as their favorite character and getting positive feedback from others, cosplayers can boost their self-confidence and self-esteem. It allows them to feel comfortable in their own skin and be proud of who they are.

  6. Fun and entertainment: Cosplay is a fun and entertaining hobby that allows people to explore their creative side and have fun with friends. It can also be a way of celebrating fandoms and pop culture. In addition, it’s a way to meet new people, share some stories about cosplay or animé, exchange numbers, and have a new circle of friends with the same interests.

  7. Attention to detail and perfectionism: Cosplaying requires attention to detail and a level of perfectionism to accurately replicate characters' costumes and appearances. This can be a satisfying challenge for those who enjoy it.

  8. Learning and development: Cosplayers can learn new skills while working on their costumes, such as sewing, prop-making, and makeup application. This can lead to personal growth and the development of new skills.

  9. Attention and recognition: Cosplayers often receive attention and recognition for their hard work and creativity, which can be validating and rewarding for them. They can feel appreciated for their dedication and efforts.

  10. Charity work and fundraising: Cosplay can also be used as a way to raise awareness and funds for charitable organizations. Cosplayers can attend events and fundraisers dressed up as their favorite characters and help raise money for a good cause.
