Hi, I’m Mawa and I’ve been cosplaying since 2022 and caught the cosplay contest bug immediately and have been competing since! I came third in insomnia 71’s community masquerade and received a judges honour award last HyperJapan! I love experimenting with new techniques and skills to challenge myself and see how I can combine them to create something fun and unique! I’m super excited to guest at HyperJapan and talk cosplay with everyone so please come find me for a chat!
