Synopsis
The word "cosplay" was made in Japan in 1984, growing out of fans dressing up at science fiction conventions. It has become a big part of popular culture in Japan, the rest of Asia and the West.
We follow Daikon Sky from Indonesia and House of Hope from Thailand as they compete, hoping to win at AFA Singapore 2015, one of the most important cosplay events of the year.
