AkiraCos<\/a> is unarguably one of the most looked up to cosplayers in the country at present. Her journey from an ordinary girl to becoming the sought-after AkiraCos had abundant dreams and passion. Disney has undoubtedly been a cradle of inspiration for many across the generations, a muse of hopes and dreams. For one such dreamer, the spark would ignite flames of passion searing her name upon the stelas of history!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cFor the first time ever,\u201d read the Deshi Geek<\/a> headline on the evening of December 6th, 2022, \u201ca cosplay artist \u2013 Arika Ahsan who goes by the stage name AkiraCos of BAC House 4 \u2013 performed her own on-stage voiceover in a local con competition!\u201d referring to her entry as Nana \u014csaki from NANA by Ai Yazawa at AnimeCon: Yuki Matsuri.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cI am someone who considers herself a method artist,\u201d says AkiraCos of the decision to do so, \u201cwhich is why instead of lip-syncing to the song by the character, I chose rather to sing it myself. I wanted to be the character. I wanted to be Nana \u014csaki. That is what cosplay means to me and I wanted to express my philosophy to the world.\u201d So how does Disney factor into all of this?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cAs a kid, when I was maybe eight or nine, I remember hopping off onto YouTube and watching the princesses at Disney World \u2013 they were so pretty and magical!\u201d AkiraCos gushes, relating the experience. \u201cI was so amazed seeing some of my favorite characters from the frames of fiction step out into reality.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nonetheless, it would still be quite a few years before she would witness the phenomenon in person. \u201cThe children in those videos looked so happy, getting to take pictures with Cinderella and Snow White. I wondered what that must have felt like. Then at MazeCon 2017, I finally got my answer.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2016 and 2017 have often been touted as the golden years of pop culture conventions in the country and Akira made sure she never missed out on the fun. \u201cIt was definitely difficult back then because I was living outside the capital in Mymensingh,\u201d she recounts, \u201cbut being part of the joy at all those events was worth the painstaking effort of pushing through the miles and the traffic. However, I always wanted to do more than just be a spectator.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I am someone who struggles a lot with anxiety issues and since I did not know we would be called in the order that we signed up, I registered the moment slots were available so I could not chicken out later but then, was faced with the challenge of being the opening entrant.
