So there you have it, the fantastic cosplayers from Ikebukuro Halloween Cosplay Fest 2019!
In Japan, Halloween comes early every year, as cosplayers and partygoers start celebrating the festival on the weekend prior to 31 October.
Called Ikebukuro Halloween Cosplay Fest, or “Ikehalo” for short, this annual gathering of cosplayers first started in 2014 and has since grown to become one of the largest Halloween events in Japan.
The cosplay we saw over the weekend was definitely on par with the quality we saw at Comiket earlier this year, only this gathering is much closer to downtown Tokyo and much closer to Halloween.
