The World Cosplay Summit 2006 Cosplay Championships
was held for the second time after last years' inaugural event
at Aichi Expo.
You could almost say that event was the "Cosplay World
Cup"! In the heart of Nagoya City, in the Oasis 21 complex,
on a specially built stage, the new World Champion would be
decided. |

《
1:00 pm~ Exhibition booths open, rehearsals begin 》
The exhibition booths and changing areas opened before the public
viewing area did, and people began streaming in. |
|
|
At the same time, rehearsals
began on the stage. The performers should have been a little nervous
before the main event, but backstage everyone was all smiles! |

《
4:30 pm ~ Public Viewing Area Open 》
There was a huge line prior to the opening of the viewing area as
the championship approached. All the seats were soon filled up, and
apologies to all those who had to stand. Supporters for Japan’s Team
A (Tokyo) rushed in to the auditorium seats! Minute by minute, the
time drew closer to the opening performance. |
