Martial Arts Costume Designer Aims to Be a Pioneer with Kamen America Cosplay!

On February 9, 2025, the "Wonder Festival 2025 [Winter]" was held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. We featured photos of Yu Kawasaki, who participated in cosplay as Kamen America, and interviewed her about the story behind the costume creation and her future plans.

—— What inspired you to cosplay as Kamen America this time

Yu Kawasaki (hereafter, Kawasaki):  I often gather with four fellow cosplayers for free-spirited photo shoots, and we've talked about wanting to coordinate a group cosplay from the same series one day. Around that time, a video of 'Kamen America' appeared on my social media timeline.

There was a friend who looked a lot like Kamen Ramen and Kamen Victory, so I suggested it, and they were enthusiastic about it. Furthermore, when I showed the aforementioned 'Kamen America' video, another friend who wasn't present said, "You look just like Kamen Comet!" This led to me being cast as the protagonist, Kamen America, through a process of elimination.

It turned out to be a perfect fit for me, which I realized later on... (laughs).
