For all intents and purposes, HezaChan has been cosplaying since the dawn of the internet. Granted, loads of people were online before 2001 (many of you included), but take a look back at her cosplay photos from 2001. It looks like a million years ago.
HezaChan’s first cosplay was Saber Marionette J at the 2001 SugoiCon. Since then, she’s become one of the internet’s most recognisable cosplayers.
In December 2009, Kotaku interviewed HezaChan for this feature on Western cosplayers.
What makes her cosplays so darn cool is that Hezachan makes her own costumes and often does her own wig styling. She even makes costumes for others.
On HezaChan’s official site, she lists her cosplays over the years, cataloging the photos and linking her photographers, such as MonkeySensei and LJinto.
It’s fascinating to see how her cosplays have evolved over the years, as well as digital photography. Here’s to another 10 years, HezaChan.
More photos (and photographer links) below.

This is kind of funny, iirc there was a comment on the ME cosplay about it not being posted by bashcraft… moments later this pops up. Meh good for eye candy but still dont see the point of this.

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 9:35 AMYes, there always seems to be these shite quality pics. Also I’ve seen enough of these that people don’t bother commenting anymore because everyone knows it’s just a quick cosplay perv with no actually substance. =D Also I now know who the sniper girl is. Yoko.

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 7:00 PMHow is this is a decade in cosplay?
I can see how this is one persons decade in cosplay, perhaps even one person cut down list of the shots they thought they looked best in for that decade, because all i see is the same girl.
I was actually expecting some of the best from around the world over the last ten years…
I am disappoint.

Wednesday, January 11, 2012 at 7:47 PMI see she once cos-played as the Kotaku logo. A pretty good effort but not quite convincing enough.
