Cosplay is a prominent part of our event!
Cosplay, i.e. dressing up as a character, plays a big part in the whole event, and is very much allowed all across the event area. In Kotae, you will also see cosplay competitions on Saturday and Sunday, when contestants fill up both the main and side stages!
Cosplay enthusiasts can make a cosplay outfit based on various fictional sources, such as animations, games, cartoons or, for example, idols. You can also design the character completely yourself, in which case the only limit is your imagination!

Kotae Cosplay Foxwalk
If competing is not for you, but you hope for a chance to show off your outfit, the Kotaen Cosplay Foxwalk offers you the perfect opportunity. Cosplay foxwalk is a catwalk style fashion show, in which you can participate either alone or in a group of up to 6 people. Costumes can be homemade, bought or customized!
Foxwalk does not include an actual performance, but we hope you dare to throw yourself into the character during the walk and poses. There will also be a presenter who will explain the fashion show.

Photo walls
Have you ever dreamed of a photoshoot in an environment that suits your outfit, but the possibilities have been limited? At Kotae Expo, you will find a few different photo walls and spots to take pictures in front of! The photo walls are located in Hall A.
Please note that the photo shooting spots may not have special lighting available in addition to the general lighting of the hall. So, if you wish, prepare for the photoshoot with, for example, a ring light or other light that you can carry with you!
More detailed information about the photo walls in 2025 will be announced closer to the event!
