Disney Cosplay at Toronto’s Anime North 2019
You wouldn’t look for Disney at an anime event, but if that fan fest of Japanese culture is Toronto’s Anime North, you’ll still find it. From May 23 to 26, thousands of con-goers dressed in costumes inspired by their favourite manga and anime were a variety of people in outfits inspired by the House of Mouse, including at least three “couple cosplays.”
Anime North is organized by a massive team of volunteers, and known for its specialised programming for fans, by fans. Just on Saturday night, attendees can catch “Pokemon Biology”, “Kimono Obi Tying”, and “Underappreciated Sports Anime/Manga”.
The weekend-long event included fan-created programming about Kingdom Hearts, including panels and cosplay photoshoots, an annual Disney Karaoke night, as well as panels on the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars.
