1 / 2

A Nigerian cosplayer says difficulty finding anime costumes in Lagos pushed her to start making her own outfits and props. Her work has helped her build skills in sewing, makeup, wig-making, carpentry and costume design. She recalled being labelled a devil worshipper after dressing as Yamato, a One Piece character with horns. She is now exploring mechatronics to create moving costumes and hopes to bring her prop-making skills into Nollywood and music video production. Her experience highlights the growing cosplay community and creative opportunities around anime culture in Nigeria.
