This Ju Fufu cosplay outfit from Zenless Zone Zero was finally fully showcased at the IJOY Anime & Game Festival. From pre-event snapshot moments inside the car to dynamic live action on the convention floor, this tiger beast-girl look gave me an incredibly immersive character experience throughout the day.
Let's start with the costume details. The most striking element is the golden-blonde wig: thick blunt bangs paired with smooth side locks, with white gradient tips that recreate the layered fur textures of the character design. The fluffy animal ears on top feature semicircular black rims and soft white inner fluff, showing off a natural plush texture under the car's lighting. To complement the character's temperament, I chose green contact lenses and a flattering pink lipstick, aiming to balance her sense of strength with a welcoming, approachable charm.
As for the attire, a gray collared shirt serves as the inner layer beneath a bright yellow biker-style jacket. The jacket features black piping and white cloud-like decorative lines on the shoulders; though small, these accents nicely break up the large expanse of yellow so the palette never feels flat. Hanging on my chest is a square wooden talisman tag with traditional Chinese characters—a key signature element of the character—which I recreated using matching genuine wood during prop prep.
Of course, one of my favorite accessories in this setup is the prop on my left hand. The back of the black fingerless glove connects to a metallic silver ring embedded with three massive black oval pads. Mimicking the giant claws of a beast, it adds tangible heft to hand movements, which actually helped me get into character much faster.
The second photo is a candid action shot on the bustling IJOY Anime & Game Festival floor. Shifting from the car interior to the crowded hall, the high venue ceiling and flow of attendees form the background. This shot focuses on my head and hand motions—a dark blue bow with gold patterns harmonizes with the traditional waist motifs. But the star prop is the giant yellow plush paw in front, dominating much of the frame. Fitting the 'petting the tiger' caption, it captures a live gesture simulating either smoothing down beast ears or a playful pounce. While the fast movement introduced a slight motion blur, it injects genuine liveliness and dynamic energy into these convention photos.
The atmosphere at the IJOY Anime & Game Festival was buzzing with excitement, packed with players and photography enthusiasts. Walking around in such an instantly recognizable cosplay, I was often greeted by fans who recognized the character. For me, whenever doing shoots or conventions, what matters most isn't just the final photo results, but the immersive feeling of stepping into the venue in full gear. From the flow of the wig strands and the texture of the leather jacket to the paw gauntlet props, every carefully coordinated piece directly impacted both the photo shoot quality and my overall enjoyment of the day.
These two convention photos—one captured in the car beforehand and one seized live on the show floor—document the complete journey from prep to entry. I hope upcoming conventions bring even more chances to connect with fellow fans who love this character and share in creating memorable offline community moments.
