[Kyoyama Kazusa Cosplay] The Daily Life of a Cat-Like Girl in Blue Archive

Wearing this classic campus style jacket of Kyoyama Kazusa, paired with her iconic black cat ears and pink bow tie, I instantly immersed myself in the Kivotos atmosphere of Blue Archive. This shoot was intentionally set in the bedroom, using pink ambient light to create a soft, cozy, and slightly playful vibe. The core of Kazusa's character is her seemingly lazy yet actually delicate personality, so I didn't purposely strike exaggerated poses. Instead, I chose two more relaxed poses—resting my chin on one hand and cupping my face with both hands—hoping to recreate her casual, everyday cuteness. The wig's bangs were specifically trimmed, and there are subtle purple-grey highlights hidden in the inner layers. This is a little easter egg based on my own understanding of the character; since her hair color in the original design shows layered changes under certain lighting, I used highlights to simulate that texture. The tailoring and stitching of the outfit are as close to the original artwork as possible, especially the white stripes on the cuffs and the pleated design of the skirt. Combined with the matte texture of the stockings, it looks very soft under the pink light. During the shoot, I actually tried several angles and finally selected these three close-up and half-body compositions. Since there was no complex outdoor scenery, it focuses more on conveying expressions. I wore reddish-brown colored contacts to match the pupil color of the original design. The overall makeup is quite clean, only emphasizing the lip color and a subtle shimmer on the eyeshadow to avoid an overly heavy stage look, after all, Kazusa's usual style isn't heavy or glamorous. Every cosplay is a dialogue with the character, and being able to capture her daily atmosphere makes me the happiest.
