I haven't seen the image yet, but am hoping someone will do as Meg did in the past and cosplay or crossplay the male mascot. :)

I am seriously stoked about this. We've had some really cool boy mascot entries in the past and I'm so happy this year's won!
I want to commission fan art of this guy in the Kumori-girl harem.

Not that I can afford that after the convention.  :D

Is that the trick to getting more people to cosplay the mascot? Giving girls another excuse to crossplay?  :D

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that in the results. Hooray for Kcon's first male mascot~!
And it's funny cuz Sakuracon's mascot for next year is a guy too! : D

It's charmingly cute, and it does look like Near! I didn't think of it at the time, but yeah, I really like it. Very cute.

Heck yeah! xDDD
If you cosplay cute girls, you get an occasional creeper stalking you, but, if you crossplay a cute boy, you get endless amounts of fan girls and harems, and you feel like a pimp.

GOOD TIMES BRO

Tom, you should cosplay him too, and we can be twins. xD

No Lil' Washou, you are not the only one who thinks he looks like Near. Or would that be Neal, as R's and L's are somewhat interchangeable.

He looks good.

Ironically, one of the cosplays Meg gave me is somewhat akin to what our new mascot is wearing. :) Looking forward to trying to find a wig to match.

So, next year's Sakuracon mascot is a boy... and our mascot is a boy... so does this make '11 no longer a sister con but a bro con, instead? :>
Eh?
EEEEHHH?
B-bro con? :'D
Title: Re: 2011 has a boy for a mascot!!!
Post by: Washougal_Otaku on September 08, 2010, 07:51:26 pm
Dude!  Fistbump of epicness!

@jaybug - I think it's actually supposed to be Near; I know, it can get confusing sometimes.  (On a related note, <-- no pun intended, why didn't they call Light Killer?  Or use the Japanese word for killer, since the inability to speak moderately-decent English is too challenging for most Japanese voice actors?  Kira?  Really?  It sounds like a little girl's name!  That's sooooo scary...)

Post by: Konan-ChanX3 on September 08, 2010, 08:24:57 pm
Washou, my best friends name is Kira, she's awesome.

And on that note, what I saw him, I was all "Ffffff yessssss I'm crossplaying him >3"

I might actually jump on this and pull a mascot cosplay together. Once they put up the 2011 homepage I can get a good look at him and see what I would need to pull it off.
Title: Re: 2011 has a boy for a mascot!!!

If we put him on a unicorn he can be Near Patrick Harris.  ;)

That'd be funny!  Oh!  How about if 2010 is holding a baby or chibi version of 2011 with the other ones gathering around to see him?  That'd be epically adorable!!!

I had actually been thinking about why Kumoricon hadn't a boy mascot before (at least, I think there hasn't been... I looked through the galleries on the main site :D). And when the mascot/next year's location/et cetera was released, I was soooo happy! He's so cute. ;D Plus, he has white hair... and, I really like white hair. x)
Title: Re: 2011 has a boy for a mascot!!!
Post by: Washougal_Otaku on September 26, 2010, 11:00:43 pm
The reason is because the mascot is determines by a vote from the con staff.  This year just happened to be the first time that a male mascot idea was liked enough to win the vote.

Post by: TurboSaiyanJason on September 27, 2010, 01:01:07 am
Now that I have a good look at him, with the right areas to hunt in, his clothes and umbrella should be easily compiled together to form a cosplay of mighty, awesome, epic, and ultimate capacities.

Post by: Transimage on September 27, 2010, 03:18:44 am
I'm glad everyone likes the new mascot. Can't wait to see the new website go up! :>

If you plan to cosplay K-kun, please, please, PLEASE make sure to come around the artist's alley! The artists want your pictures. ALL of you. You'll be hunted down with a photographic scoping lens otherwise.

Quite frankly, I'm most interested in seeing how you guys pull off his umbrella-poof. It should be interesting. :3

I want to commission fan art of this guy in the Kumori-girl harem.

Same :D

This means I'm gonna have to draw this for sure! I want it as a print too.

K-kun! That's such an awesome name!

Does anyone know if the other mascots have had names? All I know is that the lemur girl in 2008 was named Kuu.
