Character Name: Renji Abarai

Series: Bleach

Comments:  I originally chose this cosplay just to be a side kick to my friend who was Ichigo.  He was always choosing characters to pair with me so I wanted to return the favor.  I knew I wanted to be shirtless so I spent a whole year working out hard to get in shape before I event attempted this.  I still maintain a strict diet and exercise routine to maintain my fitness.

The tattoos were a big challenge in the beginning.  I had a team of three people that would help draw and paint them on every morning at 7am at the cons.  Even with the whole team it took 3 hours.  I finally got smart one day and invested a night in creating stencil to air brush the tattoos on.  With the new system it takes only one person 2 hours to paint but they stay on for a week.

The wig was actually 2 wigs and 2o hr project to complete.  A lot of hair was needed to pull off the spiky top know known as the red pineapple.  Extra hair from a second wig was needed for the hair that falls down onto the shoulders.

Finally the sword weighs less than 3lbs and each joint extends a few inches.  You can see the very first joint is slightly opened.
