After a few months off for Winter, the North American cosplay season is starting to heat up once again, with the yearâs first major showâKatsuconâtaking place last month just outside of DC.
The Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center played host to the con, which ran February 17-19 and drew around 15,000 people, many of them cosplayers.
You might rememberthat last yearâs Katsucon was the first major US show to resume following the pandemicâs lockdowns, and took place with mask rules that were dealt with very well by the more creative cosplayers. This yearâs show was a lot more relaxed, so was a real return to the Katsucon of old. If â2019 and earlierâ can really be called âoldâ.
In this gallery youâll find a selection of photos (and video) from the event, all captured by Mineralblu. Each cosplayerâs character, series and social media credits are watermarked on each image.
