Cosplay Guests

Uptown Cosplay

Since starting their cosplay journey in 2012, Uptown Cosplay has found their passion in combining their skills to bring beloved characters to life.  With over a decade of training in costuming, dance, and acting, they have been entertaining audiences at conventions across the country and internationally with lively in-character stage work and renowned lip sync performances.  In addition to hosting a variety of live panels for both education and entertainment, Uptown shares their work and experiences online so that anyone can enjoy them.

Since their first cosplay in 2012, Uptown Cosplay found their community in cosplay, the happy marriage between all their creative passions.  Utilizing their education in costuming and apparel construction as well as honing their skills in wig styling and makeup artistry, they strive to embody characters through a variety of creative mediums.

Connecting with an audience took on a new meaning in 2014 when Uptown hosted their first in-character panels at their local convention.  They have continued bringing characters to life ever since, using their experience in acting and improv to immerse audiences in fun-filled skits where attendees can interact with beloved characters.

In 2016, they discovered another of their passions to tie into the hobby:  dance.  After winning one of the Pacific Northwest’s first cosplay lip sync battles Uptown Cosplay went on to spearhead lip sync main events at multiple conventions, including co-founding the area’s largest, the “Cosplay Lip Sync Showdown.”  Leveraging their 13+ years of dance training and experience hosting panels, Uptown not only performs both choreographed and improvised acts in their shows but also hosts as an immersive, in-character emcee to keep audiences both laughing and intrigued.

Uptown enjoys being rooted in the cosplay community and staying involved at conventions the same way they started so many years ago, meeting new people and spreading their love for the arts and all things creative.  They share their work online with their broad audience in the form of recorded performances, vlogs, and more so that others can enjoy what they do regardless of whether they can attend conventions.

Starfall Blade

Hello- I’m Starfall Blade! I’m a cosplay artist based in Orlando, Florida and a master-level competitor, receiving awards in both craftsmanship and performance. I view each cosplay I make as a chance to expand my artistic skill set and bring my favorite characters to life. I specialize in fabrication, and especially love working with EVA foam to make props and armor. The “play” in cosplay is just as important as the costume: attending conventions, creating art through photoshoots, and traveling the world to meet fellow cosplayers are my greatest rewards as a creator. In college, I studied cosplay as fine art, graduating summa cum laude from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art and Design. My essay “Cosplay and Creating Identity: Building the Transgender Self” tells of my experience as a transgender cosplayer, and my award-winning senior thesis is an investigation into the artistic canon of cosplay and finding meaning in an inherently derivative medium. My skills developed through cosplay led me to my career in the themed entertainment industry, where I work as a professional scenic artist: painting attractions, fabricating props, and more, solving creative challenges in order to bring magic to reality at the world’s biggest theme parks. Being able to contribute my art to projects that will be enjoyed by millions of people is truly something special! Cosplay creates a space in which I can push my limits with both creative skill and boundaries of self, through the lens of characters and stories that have helped me become the person I am. I hope to share the joy of cosplay through my work, and inspire everyone to contribute their own magic to our community.

Rakumaroo!

Rakumaroo performed at Tekko for the first time in 2016. After winning a Judge's Award, she continued to build her skills by competing at more conventions. She has earned Judge's Awards, First Place, and Best in Show prizes since then and has coached a handful of cosplayers on performance tips and tricks. After years of competing, she decided to make a change to further her cosplay career and become a guest performer. With the help of Tekko's staff, she had the opportunity to perform her first Masquerade Half-time Show in 2022 with a self-written musical parody, and she later performed more shows in 2023 and 2024.

Tekko has been a huge part of Rakumaroo's life, and she owes a lot of her opportunities and experiences to the staff and congoers. From becoming a cosplay guest, creating new friends, even meeting her spouse, she has found a home in Tekko and a new form of expression that she hopes others can also gain.

Rakumaroo will once again perform this year's Masquerade Halftime Show with a special guest and co-host Tekko Live alongside Laughing Mecha and Nancy Kepner. She is happy to share tips and tricks or meet new friends, so stop by one of her shows and say hello!

Luluko

Luluko (she/they) is a passionate cosplayer on a mission to share the joy of competing in masquerades and crafting killer performances. With over a decade of experience as a competition judge and many more years of competing and cosplaying, Lulu brings unmatched expertise and enthusiasm to the cosplay stage.

Lulu is a well-respected performer in the community, as proven by a Best Comedy win at Anime Los Angeles 2024 (alongside previous Tekko judge, Knovice Cosplay!) and invitations to judge performance from coast to coast. She also had the honor of being a juror and the chief of staff for Crunchyroll-Hime's Cosplay Cup.

Known for her love of cosplay and community, Lulu has hosted over 100 panels at conventions across the country, and was recently featured as a Community Guest at Holiday Matsuri 2024. Between conventions, she crafts content aimed at demystifying masquerades, creating 10 page build books, and making competitions approachable and fun for everyone. When not in cosplay, Lulu works as a social media manager in the video games industry (and has probably worked on a game you like). She would like to ask everyone reading this to please read Golden Kamuy.

Cosplay Craftsmanship Contest

In the Craftsmanship Contest, cosplayers are judged on their ability to skillfully recreate a design in a private, scheduled interview with a panel of experienced judges. Please review all of the rules below before registering for this competition.

Registration is Closed! Thank you for your interest!

Info & Rules

1. Competition entries must comply with all Tekko dress code and conduct policies. Entrants must be registered attendees of Tekko.

2. Only costumes handcrafted by the entrant are allowed to be entered into the Craftsmanship contest. Commissioned, store-bought, or thrifted costumes cannot compete. Most of the costume should be made from scratch or heavily altered.

3. Costumes that have won major awards are not allowed to compete unless major revisions or significant improvements have been made. Please review the Divisions tab for information on divisions. Participants may not enter a costume that has been judged in any previous Tekko craftsmanship contests.

4. Official designs or fan art designs of licensed characters from any media source are welcome to compete. Original characters will not be permitted. All entries must have accompanying reference materials brought to their judging appointment. Participants will be judged on faithfulness to the design in addition to craftsmanship.

6. If a costume will be modeled by someone else, the crafter of the costume is considered the entrant. They are the person who must submit the application, speak to the judges, and the one eligible for a craftsmanship award, not the person wearing the costume.

7. All craftsmanship awards will be presented during the performance event. Attending the performance is HIGHLY encouraged. If the entrant cannot participate for any reason, please notify a judge or staff member during the scheduled judging session. Entrants may also participate in the Walk-On portion of the performance, but it is not required.

8. Entrants with a Friday judging time slot may participate in the skit portion of the performance event. Entrants with a Saturday judging slot may not, due to the performance rehearsal conflict. Preference for a Friday or Saturday time slot will be in the application form.

9. Please arrive at least 5 minutes prior to the scheduled appointment. If the participant is not present at their assigned time, they will forfeit their right to compete.

10. Active Tekko staff and current guests are not permitted to compete.

Divisions

Junior : Participants 15 years of age or younger. This category is meant to encourage young participants to develop their crafting skills. As such, Junior entries must have made most of their own costume. Costumes made by adults for juniors cannot compete at the Junior level and must compete at the skill level of their creator.

Novice: You are new to costume making or have received no major awards. Novices are expected to have hand-made or altered at minimum 50-60% of their cosplay. This category encompasses beginner cosplayers and first-time competitors who may already have foundational skills.

Journeyman: You have some experience in costume making or have received no more than 2 major awards. Journeymen are expected to demonstrate intermediate skill in several areas (fabrication, wig styling, textiles, detailed finishings, etc).

Master: You are an experienced costumer or have received 3 or more major awards. Masters are expected to show competence in applied skills and have made at minimum 80-90% of their cosplay.

*Major award examples include: "Best Of…," "Best In…," "First Place," "Second Place," and so on.   Judges' awards, fan favorite awards, etc. do not count towards the participant’s skill level. The Tekko Craftsmanship Contest division levels only consider awards won on the merit of craftsmanship. Performance rewards are not considered. If you have questions about your division, please reach out to cosplay@pittjcs.org.

Participants may compete in the highest division they feel represents their skills but may not compete at a level lower than their competition history.

  • For example, a Best Journeyman winner may not compete as a Novice, but a first-time entrant with 5 years of theater experience does not have to enter as a Novice. We encourage entrants to challenge themselves!

  • Once the participant wins an award at a certain level, they can only compete at that level or higher in future.

  • In a group, the skill level of that group is determined by the highest classed skill member of that group. For example, a group of Novices with one Journeyman must all compete as Journeymen.

Walk-Ons are a runway-style showcase of cosplayers featured during the Performance Contest. You walk the stage, pose a few times and that’s it! This portion of the event features both craftsmanship competitors and non-judged exhibition participants. You may not be a Walk-on and in a Performance entry.

This portion is open to all costumes from any genres, as well as original designs. You do not have to have made your costume to participate.

Registration for walk-ons will be done at-con before the Performance Competition.

-          Please come to Main Events an hour before the competition starts and staff will direct you. There are limited spots available and they will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis.

-          Craftmanship entrants are already accounted for and do not need to sign up separately.

-          Walk-ons do not attend Performance rehearsal.

Please have the following information ready to go! This will be written on a card that you will hand to the MC, who will read it to the audience as you walk on stage.

IF YOU ARE WALKING ALONE

  1. The name you want to be called on stage. This is YOUR name, not your character's name. A cosplay handle, nickname, or first name are all acceptable.

  2. The character or design that you are cosplaying.

  3. The source material of the character. If you are not cosplaying from a series, you do not need this information.

Examples:

Erica as Princess Jasmine from Disney's Aladdin

Bob Cosplay as an original fox spirit design

John as Shoto Todoroki from My Hero Academia

 

IF YOU ARE WALKING AS A GROUP

  1. List all group members on one card, including name, character, and series as above. Make sure that they are all comfortable with the name you provide being broadcast.

  2. The title(s) of the media the character(s) are from. If you are not cosplaying from a series, you do not need this information.

  3. You do not all have to be from the same series, but all groups must be under ten people.

Example:

Erica as Kyoko Kirigiri, Bob Cosplay as Makoto Naegi, and John as Monobear from Dangan Ronpa

Performance Contest

In the Performance Contest, cosplayers will take to the Main Stage and perform in front of a live audience. Performers are not judged on craftsmanship, only overall presentation. You may compete with bought or commissioned costumes.

Registration is closed! Thank you for your interest!

Rules & Requirements

1 As this is a cosplay Masquerade, performers are required to be in cosplay. Please contact the coordinator if you have questions about your costume's appropriateness.

2 The Masquerade is open to Tekko attendees. Staff and current guests are not permitted to compete.

3 Skits have a time limit of 3 minutes. The time it takes for you to get on and off the stage does not count toward your time limit. Your audio track must be within the time limit.

4 Tekko is an all-ages event and the material in the Performance section must reflect such. No explicit sexual references or gestures, obscene language, graphic violence, or nudity is permitted. All audio must be edited for content.

5 You will be required to submit a script of your skit for approval via email before the convention. Pre-recorded music and/or dialogue is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED and PREFERRED. We cannot guarantee more than 1 microphone. You will be asked to submit your audio file via email before the convention.

6 Masquerade rehearsal is mandatory unless cleared with the coordinator before the convention. Participants in Friday craftsmanship judging may also participate in the Masquerade, but not on Saturday judging as it is a scheduling conflict with rehearsal.

7 Stage combat and other more physical things will need approval at rehearsal to ensure the safety of attendees and equipment.

8 Whatever comes on the stage with you must leave the stage with you. Confetti, silly string, and other “messy” props are prohibited. Your performance must also be limited to the stage area.

9 You cannot enter in both the Walk-Ons and Performance. You also cannot be in two different performance entries. Stage ninjas/helpers count as performers/entrants. If you wish to enter both Craftsmanship and Performance, you must have a Friday judging time for craftsmanship.

Divisions

Novice - No more than 1 major award received Novices are new to performing and competing.

Advanced - 2 or more major awards received. Advanced competitors have some experience and have often competed or performed on stage before.

Categories may be changed/combined depending on cosplayer turnout.

Major awards are awards that are considered “Best Of” , “Best In”,”First Place”, “Second Place” and so on. Honorable mentions, gag awards and Judges awards do not count towards your skill level.

You may compete in a skill level higher than you are actually in, but you may not compete lower than your skill level. We encourage you to challenge yourself! BE AWARE- Once you win at a certain level you can only compete at that level or higher from then on out.

In a group, the skill level of that group is determined by the highest classed skill member of that group. For example, a group of novices with one journeyman must all compete as journeymen.
