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

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

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...)

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.

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)
