Kenshin's Kigurumi Dojo

Hey everyone, Did you like the Otakon 2010 photoshoot? Well, we got a lot of great photos, and it got me thinking. What if we could tell our little Otakon story with these photos? Therefore, I am pleased to present the revival of "Kigurumi Manga". I originally did a kigurumi comic about three years ago with "The Kigurumi Night Before Christmas" and I recently saw Ryunosuke Sozaiya's kigurumi comics and it got me wanting to revive the "Kigurumi Manga" franchise and I started with Otakon 2010 pt.1. The first part of our Otakon 2010 comic looks at our kigurumis as they enter Baltimore's Inner Harbor. You can check it out by clicking here. Let me know what you think of it, and if I should continue the series. Until next time, ~Cody Nakamura

Ahoy, me hearties! This be another update on our maiden voyage from Otakon 2010. Okay, enough pirate schtick, It's time for another update.Part 2 of our photoshoot from Otakon 2010. As you can see, Edward has found a useful weapon to use against the Homunculi, or maybe even againt Col. Roy Mustang. It's amazing how Edward could transmute a powerful weapon such as a canon without making a transmutation circle. The photoshoot includes: a tour of the inner USS Constellation, a tour of the Captain's Quarters, and a possible proposal to a certain kigurumi lass? You can check out the entire photoshoot by clicking here. Until next time,~Cody Nakamura

Happy Thursday Everyone, Do you know who the person in the photo to the left is? Well if you don't, I'll tell you. The person in the photo is none other than voice actor Vic Mignogna, who is best known for voicing classic characters as Broly from DragonBall Z, Kurz Webber from Full Metal Panic, and most significantly, Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. For those who don't know, Vic was recently at Otakon 2010, and so was Edward. Sadly, they did not get to meet each other, and that made me sad....until today. A good friend of mine got to interview Vic on his radio show and told him about how I was getting a kigurumi of Edward and Vic got excited about it. Yesterday, to my surprise, I got an email from none other than Vic Mignogna himself. Apparently, my friend had shown him some of the photos from Otakon and he sent me an email. It read as follows..."Hey there! I just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how amazing your Edward kigurumi looks! I'm sorry I didn't get to see you in person at Otakon, but I hope you'll come to another con someday soon so I can see that awesomeness in person!" ~Vic Mignogna Receiving that email was a very humbling moment. Having fans of all ages come to my site, see me at conventions and take my picture is awesome, but to have the voice actor to one of the characters you portray email you to tell you it's awesome is truly something special. Of course I appreciate all my fans and visitors. Until next time ~Cody Nakamura

Happy Saturday everyone, I tell ya, I had quite the time at Otakon 2010. Sure there was a lot of lines, I didn't get to see Vic Mignogna, and the entire con was evacuated because someone pulled a fire alarm, but aside from that, it was a pretty good time. I was not the only one to have a good time at Otakon. I was also joined by the lovely Kiki Feegata, Splint, Jovina, and newcomer Darkhorse_Steele. We got to do a photoshoot on Baltimore's fammed USS Constellation, a former US battleship that has become a popular tourist attraction in the Inner Harbor. We decided to to a Victorian theme, which explains the attire of the girls and a very feministic looking blue haired gentlemen. Edward was already dressed for the occasion so he fit in perfectly as well. You can check out part 1 of the Otakon photos by clicking here. Part 2 will consist of photos from the official Fullmetal Alchemist photoshoot. Until next time, ~Cody Nakamura

Hey everyone,Hope you all are having a wonderful summer. I know I have been neglectful of celebrating the Kigurumi Dojo's sixth birthday, so I decided to get around to it with a theme that involves our newest addition, none other than Fullmetal Alchemist, Edward Elric.Apparently, Edward is being praised in the far away land of Sweden, which I'm pretty sure is nowhere near Risembool. Anywho, don't believe me? check this out for yourself. Until next time,~Cody Nakamura
