——What inspired you to cosplay as Sinon from "Sword Art Online"?
Nayu: Sinon from "Sword Art Online" was a character I had always wanted to cosplay someday. I hadn't really found the right timing, but since "AnimeJapan" is an event where so many fans of the series gather, I thought, "This is the perfect opportunity to prepare her outfit!" That was my inspiration.
——Could you tell us what you find most charming about Sinon?
Nayu: There are scenes in the story where Sinon's past is revealed. When I learned about the weight of what she has been carrying and her strength to overcome that past, I became deeply drawn to her. To prepare for this cosplay, I rewatched the anime for the first time in a while. Seeing it again made me realize all over again how incredibly entertaining and thought-provoking this series is!
