For all intents and purposes, HezaChan has been cosplaying since the dawn of the internet. Granted, loads of people were online before 2001 (many of you included), but take a look back at her cosplay photos from 2001. It looks like a million years ago.
HezaChanās first cosplay was Saber Marionette J at the 2001 SugoiCon. Since then, sheās become one of the internetās most recognizable cosplayers.
In Dec. 2009, Kotaku interviewed HezaChan for this feature on Western cosplayers.

On HezaChanās official site, she lists her cosplays over the years, cataloging the photos and linking her photographers, such as MonkeySensei and LJinto
Itās fascinating to see how her cosplays have evolved over the years, as well as digital photography. Hereās to another ten years, HezaChan.
