Cosplay is a performance art in which participants, known as cosplayers, wear costumes and accessories to represent a specific character from a movie, book, video game, anime, or comic. The term “cosplay” is a portmanteau of “costume” and “play.” Cosplayers often strive to accurately recreate the appearance and persona of the characters they embody, which can involve meticulous attention to detail in costume design, makeup, and sometimes performance or role-playing.
