“A Chance to Start a Conversation” – Choosing Motoko Kusanagi Cosplay from “Ghost in the Shell,” Only Possible at WonFes!

On July 27, 2025, the “Wonder Festival 2025 [Summer]” was held at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. Here we feature photos of Akizawa, who attended in cosplay as Motoko Kusanagi from “Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045,” along with an interview about the points they focused on with their cosplay and which other characters they would like to try cosplaying in the future.

――Thank you for making time for this interview following up on the winter WonFes! What made you decide to cosplay as Motoko Kusanagi from “Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045” this time?

Akizawa (hereafter without honorifics): Since a lot of fans who love robot-themed works gather at WonFes, I thought cosplaying Motoko Kusanagi would be a good way to start conversations with fellow “Ghost in the Shell” fans!
