What is a "cosplay player"?
In Japanese, "コスプレ", as the name implies, COS PLAY is the abbreviation of English costume drama (this name was extended by Japanese animator Gao Qiao at the World Science Fiction Convention held in Los Angeles in 1984), and its verb is COS. People who play COS PLAY are generally called COSPLAYER. Generally speaking, the earliest Chinese translation of COS PLAY came from Taiwan Province Province, which means "role-playing". Role-playing: refers to an artistic act of costume performance that independently deduces the role. It is considered as a sub-cultural activity. However, because this translation is the same as the RolePlayGame(RPG) in the game, in order to avoid similarities, the author prefers another translation-dressing up. As far as today's COSPLAY is concerned, its form and content generally refer to the use of clothing, trinkets, props and makeup to play ACG (animation, comics, games) or some roles in Japanese Vision Rock and movies. Thus, COSPLAY contains a fairly broad positioning space, and it can even be said that as long as COSER exists, this field is definitely the mainstream of teen pop culture today. Speaking of the original origin of COSPLAY, it is generally believed that the birthplace of COSPLAY is in Japan. Of course, if it is based on the concept of COSPLAY in today's era, this can be said. But in a broad sense, the real birthplace of animated COSPLAY is definitely the United States in the western hemisphere, and even if we really want to discuss the original form of COSPLAY, the author can tell you without hesitation that COSPLAY first appeared in the centuries before the first year of AD! Because both the costumes of Greek sacrifices that existed around 1000 BC and the bard who co-authored two great Greek epics "Iliad" and "Odyssey" in the 8th century BC are actually playing the role of others. The former became the prophet and prophet of later generations, and successfully cosplayed the existence of the apostles, while the latter, like the originator of today's stage plays, cosplayed the deeds of those epic heroes. In fact, the meaning of COSPLAY's inclusion and dressing up is not only an external visualization, but more importantly, it should go deep into the hearts of COSPLAY people. Next, let's talk about the real birthplace of COSPLAY-the United States.
