Japan Team C (Nagoya), Kara and Ray Ya, as "Cure White" and "Cure Black" from the anime "Together we're Pretty Cure".
Kara, who performed the role of "Cure White", had had an appendix operation 2 days before the stage show and still managed to participate in the championships!! They were loyal to the original image in their attention to detail with gadgets, displaying true ingenuity.
Entry Number 11
The team from Brazil, Mauricio and Monica, as "Rochelle" and "Alexelle" from the manga "Tenshi Kinryoku".
With dignified splendor, angels Alexelle and Rochelle purely and simply set the audience abuzz when they stepped onto the stage. When the performance ended, there was a huge cheer from the crowd and also from the cosplayers backstage watching on the monitor. The fact that they are brother and sister fit perfectly.
While the judges compiled the results, Hiroshi Kitadani gave a live performance! It was a big hit with the audience!
