Hetalia: Axis Powers: Honda Sakura

If I had to take a guess, two characters come to mind: Suzumiya Haruhi from The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi or Hirasawa Yui from K-On! It’s because her hair is similar to both characters, but the kimono reminds me Kinomoto Sakura from an episode in Card Captor Sakura.

What do you guys think? Maybe we should vote on it? Thanks again to Miguel for sending this!

EDIT: Thanks to Clauie for letting me know this is the female version of Japan from Hetalia: Axis Powers, also known as Honda Sakura!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Prussia

Now isn’t this a lovely image?

Ok, so maybe only the girls will agree with me here, but I couldn’t resist posting this piece of eye candy even though I have no idea where the character is from. I just hope I’m right in assuming this silver-haired character is male..?

Hopefully someone can identify him! Thanks to Millie for sharing this!

EDIT: Thanks to Alice for letting me know this is Prussia from Hetalia: Axis Powers!

EDIT2: Thanks to Syaza for sharing the cosplayer's page, Nanjo Kajo of Deviant Art!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Denmark and Norway

Denmark is the older brother full of youthful vigor. He is the second tallest of the five Nordics while his brother, Norway, is the third. Denmark and Norway are childhood friends and Denmark considers Norway to be his favorite and close friend.

Beautiful cosplays by Haruhi and Doruko! Love the lighting effects of this photo. Thanks to Cherokee for sending this in!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Japan

I have decided to feature Aoi (蒼伊)’s cosplay of Hetalia: Axis Powers because of the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck the country on the 11th of March.

Many people still need our help. Here is a short list of organizations where you can donate online:

• Red Cross
• Shelterbox
• International Medical Corps
• Global Giving
• Convoy of Hope
• Salvation Army

Thank you very much! Please keep your thoughts and prayers to the people who are suffering!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Belarus

Now her I'm pretty sure I've seen somewhere before. I just can’t seem to figure out where exactly that is.

She looks like a character that stepped out of a vampire novel or even a fighting game. Black gloves seem to be fairly uncommon to go with a French Maid uniform after all, but the blue ribbon with the blond wig make me think of Alice.

Anyone have a better idea? Thanks again to Zero Haven for the contribution!

EDIT: Thanks to Kupkakes-Hime♥ for commenting this is Belarus from Hetalia: Axis Powers!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Igiko

Another cute school girl with an outfit I really like. I actually have a skirt just like that, but I think hers has suspenders to go with it.

If anyone has any idea who this blond, twin-tailed, meganeko from Comiket 2010 is, please do let me know! Thanks guys!

…wait, is that Bugs Bunny on her tie?

EDIT: Thanks to anon for letting me know she's Igiko or the female version of England from Hetalia: Axis Powers!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Hong Kong

There is very little known about Hong Kong, aside from being under the British's control for many years. No one can really tell what’s on his mind as he seldom shows emotion, if at all. He speaks in a mixture of Japanese and English.

Although I would like to applaud this cosplayer for the great work, this feature is also to pay tribute to Hong Kong. Several tourists who were on their way back home to Hong Kong were killed in a hostage situation in the Philippines just a few hours ago. No clear information has been released, but the incident was televised and watching it was very horrifying.

I am saddened by this, as I used to work in Hong Kong as well. May God bless the departed souls and the families who were left behind.

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Russia

With the innocence and cruelty of a child, Russia is known for being the tallest among all the nations and for his kind face. The other nations are quite terrified of him, especially the Baltic Trio: Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia as Russia loves them to physical and emotional abuse. The only country whom Russia fears is his younger sister, Belarus, who is obsessed with the idea of forcing him to marry her.

Gorgeous cosplay in the most proper setting! I was completely blown away when T.J. sent this with the information that the cosplayer is yukin0hime from Live Journal! Thanks again for taking the time to email this!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: America

Energetic and headstrong, America was raised by England who later fights for his own independence. He is the self-proclaimed leader of the Allied Forces but his ideas for solving international problems are often absurd. Unfortunately, America also tends to be oblivious to the opinion of others.

Beautiful cosplay! I love the simple yet elegant pose the cosplayer’s done with the American flag around her. Thanks to T.J. for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to ~Lsine for finding my blog and letting me know this is her cosplay!

Hetalia: Axis Powers: Hungary and Liechtenstein

I suddenly feel like I'm so far behind on the latest anime trends that my readers are probably laughing at me with all these cosplays that I don't know about.

Forgiveness, please?

The girl in the red dress does remind me of Saber, and Saber has been seen wearing a red dress before, but I don't think that's really the case here, is it? I mean, if it is, then who's the girl behind her?

Anyone care to point me in the right direction..? Thanks to Jacob for sending this in!

EDIT: Thanks to Tara for letting me know this is Hungary and Liechtenstein from Hetalia: Axis Powers! Thanks also to Ame for emailing me the information!

I'm beginning to think I should check this anime out. This is the second cosplay from the series that I missed completely.
