Cosplayer: Emilio Fulara (“CrimsonGaara”)
Character Name: Gaara
Series Name: Naruto
Comments: This is a rather old costume, and photo, but I am still rather proud of how this turned out.
Gaara in a white suit, as I have cosplayed in this version, is an official design from the 5th Naruto: Shippuden ending theme (“Sunao na Niji”, or “Honest Rainbow”).
When this photo was taken, I had to cut, dye, and style my hair to mimic Gaara’s due to the limited wig market back then. As for the clothes, I gathered everything over time. It was difficult to find accurate clothing with a time limit (I was attending a cosplay ball the following month after starting this cosplay). The hardest was the white blazer, which ended up costing me £50 ($76) from Blue Inc.
When it snowed in February 2009, I thought the white would look good against the pure background, and my red would be a harsh juxtaposition. Anyone that’s a fan of Gaara would understand that he starts off as anything but peaceful, but he does seem to achieve peace within himself by the start of the Shippuden series.
