Cosplay, short for "costume roleplay", is a type of performance art in which participants don costumes and accessories to represent a specific character or idea. Favorite sources include manga, anime, tokusatsu, comic books, graphic novels, video games, hentai and fantasy movies. Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centered around role play. A broader use of the term cosplay applies it to any costumed role play in venues apart from the stage, regardless of the cultural context.
Once in costume, cosplayers adopt the affect, mannerisms and body language of the characters they portray. Cosplayers often gather to view the costumes of others such as Final Fantasy Cosplay, Naruto Cosplay show off their own creations, take pictures, share tips, and participate in contests. This activity is maintained between major events through participation in online forums.

At anime conventions, one of the main highlights is the cosplay costumes competition. It is an opportunity for cosplayers to perform favorite scenes from the shows, perform original skits or partake in 'fashion shows' to the delight of the fans. One such international cosplay event is the Madman National Cosplay Competition which takes place in Australia annually.
Judges, or sometimes fans, are responsible for choosing winners based on creativity and originality. For the cosplayers who have spent time and effort in creating their costumes and perfecting their roles, being recognized by their peers for a job well done is an honor unlike any other. Winners, sometimes, end up becoming celebrities of sorts, and are quick to be spotted or noticed in conventions on a global scale; thanks to the influence of the internet and especially YouTube.
In Western culture - where cartoon series are regarded mostly as children's entertainment - cosplayers take on such famous roles like Batman, Superman, Spiderman, and any other famous superhero from popular comic books or T.V series. It is not uncommon to see these characters at conventions, yet imports from the East seep their way into the Western consciousness and are now taking a hold on what children watch today. For instance, the popular anime show, Naruto, is a favorite all over the world, but it would surprise many to know that the voice behind the most famous male anime character actually belongs to a female.
