For this CPGZ05 event, I brought this \"Bunny Kokomi\" look. Actually, I prepared this outfit for a long time before the con, from trimming and dyeing the wig to adjusting the layers of the skirt and choosing the prop umbrella, all in hopes of presenting the most complete state on-site. Seeing many fellow fans and photographers sharing their photos, I couldn't help but join in the fun, mostly to \"find my own photos\" and preserve the memories of this event.
I had quite a lot of expectations when preparing this look. The character Sangonomiya Kokomi from Genshin Impact is known to everyone as a gentle, strategic military tactician, but this time I chose to create a version with bunny elements that leans more toward a cute, 2D anime style. The hair has a pink-to-white gradient with blue tips, and to match this lively vibe, I specially tied two playful small braids and added some hair ornaments. The bunny ear headband on top of my head, combined with the dark choker on my neck, is meant to create a color collision and fusion, adding a touch of personality to the playfulness.
For the clothing, to achieve this puffy, lightweight, and dreamy effect, the skirt hem uses several layers of mesh tulle and ruffles, making it highly layered. The dark blue bow on the chest is the perfect finishing touch; the dark color paired with the surrounding white and light purple gradient fabric makes the visual focus very clear. The prop parasol was also something I specifically got for the con. The white, blue, and purple gradient pattern on the canopy echoes the color of the dress beautifully, and its long streamers look very extended during dynamic snapshots, adding a lovely touch of agility to the frames.
To match the overall cute style, I chose white over-knee stockings. The small bows on the cuffs and the chunky-heeled platform design of the shoes visually elongated my leg proportions, aiming to make my legs look longer while keeping the overall color scheme clean and unified.
The shoot took place during the afternoon of the convention, when the outdoor natural light was highly sufficient. Actually, the shooting process was much more exhausting than it looks. To present that lightweight, energetic, and lively feeling, I tried several poses like standing on one leg, lifting my skirt, or holding up the parasol, just as shown in the photos. I also had to constantly pay attention to my expression management because maintaining balance on the outdoor asphalt road in these heeled shoes was quite a test of both stamina and core strength. I'm very grateful to the photographer that day, who really understood the vibe I wanted and timely captured many natural and continuous moments.
For this shoot, I am personally quite satisfied with the bright colors and relaxed atmosphere of the photos. The happiest part of an anime convention is being able to wear clothes I painstakingly prepared and interact with fellow fans. Although the trip left me truly exhausted, putting my heart into cosplaying a character I love and turning a 2D setting into reality brings a huge sense of accomplishment.
The fabric texture of the costume and the matching accessories showed up much better in these final cuts than expected. Through this cute-style interpretation, I hope everyone can see a different side of Genshin Impact's Sangonomiya Kokomi. Although the design incorporates many bunny elements, differing from her original game design, this \"Bunny Kokomi\" serves as my current understanding of the character and an expression of my personal style.
The light and shadow from the photography, the dynamics of the props, and the details of the costume all had a great presentation in this set of photos. The process of preparing with all my heart is always more memorable than the final result itself.
