We’re about due for another cosplay superstar interview here on Robot Punch! This time, we’ll get to know cosplay sensation, HezaChan; most known for her pulse-racing embodiment of Cutie Honey.

She was sweet enough to grant me an interview, sharing the details of her adventures in hardcore fandom.
Back with more cosplay fun, Robot Punch! returns with another interview with one of cosplay’s hottest icons. This round, we speak with Yaya Han, a professional cosplayer, model, and fashion designer.

Have you ever felt inappropriately dressed for your respective gaming endeavors? Ever played God of War in a pair of Garfield slippers and thought, “Hey, that’s just not right?” Maybe you’ve even gone a round of Dance Dance Revolution in those one-size-up pants you vowed to only wear on “fat days,” but wore them anyway because they were your only clean pair.
