1. At what age did you start cosplaying and how long have you been cosplaying?

I started to cosplay when I was 14 years old and I’ve been cosplaying for 4 years. (^｡^)

2. What inspired you to start cosplaying?

I saw Ulquiorra Schiffer from Bleach when I was 14 years old, and I love Ulquiorra and I wanted to act like him, wanted to be him for one day. Then I heard about Tokyo International Anime Fair in Tokyo so me, my mom and friends made my costume and just went there (^｡^) It was very fun! ＼(^o^)／
