Blondie/Kimpatsu?! Moi?

Due to popular demand, I hereby give you some photos of me when I was 18-20.

YES, I WAS BLONDE. Well, partially XD

Haha, thanks - that must mean that I still look young, or that I looked old to begin with XD

LOL, this is reinforcing my theory that I looked old as a teenager XD

Woooaaah, that is bright! I bleached streaks in my hair and it's just a dull ginger...

It was some heavy duty bleaching I went through and lots of aftercare to keep the hair happy XD That's why I left it eventually, it was heel to maintain in such a prominent location.

You actually looked very similar to how you look now! Haven't aged much at all! ;)

Definitely haven't aged. Nothing wrong with a blonde streak either!

You look slightly more like Tifa Lockheart than usual, blonde bangs notwithstanding, but otherwise as everyone else points out, IDENTICAL!! You could have just whipped this up on photoshop! I especially like the top right one though, for youthful naivete! It's very sweet!

I realise I didn't reply before to a reply you made about how your image is part of what you sell as an artist, and I found that pretty interesting. I get the idea of having a look and making that a brand, but the idea of integrating cosplay into that brand is very ambitious, because you're branching out into a different art form and a different cultural milieu, that may not be as appealing to everyone as simply 'looking hot' would be - it's a bold move and I guess that's why I was commenting on it in the first place that to me that was a great gesture of staying true to yourself. It's not a people-pleasing thing to do, but hopefully because YOU please people, it will help popularise an art-form that in the mainstream at best is overlooked and at worst is even derided. It's stupid that this is the case because as for example your Trinity Blood cosplays more than adequately demonstrate, cosplay can be just as much an art form as a well-turned out page!

LOL, the top right one is the most cringeworthy XD

Haha, I dunno if I'm consciously incorporating cosplay into my look, moreso that I am very comfortable wearing it in public and my fans like seeing me in flamboyant things - I dress so flashy anyway, I'm used to people staring. But also, I only go for cosplays where I look cool, smexy or bishy. Some of my cosplay stuff is stuff I already own XD

But I do exercise degrees of propriety on the type of event I go to.

Fashion is fashion, cosplay is cosplay - cosplay only at the big anime conventions ^^

You're just in disguise, and absorbed the powers of an artist :-p

I have to agree that little has changed between then and now. For a moment there I thought this was a pic of your new cosplay until I read the text. On a side note though think this is the first pic of you I've seen where you're not wearing a loli goth dress.

Haha, I have the mysterious oriental power of looking ageless.

First non-loli photo ORLY? I do dress in more conventional stuff from time to time... rarely... and even rarer is it caught on camera... actually, yeah, I'm not surprised you haven't seen any till now.

When I put my Italy and Hawaii photos up is when the whole world will die of shock seeing me in hot pants and bikinis XD

Apart from the lolita fashion and the streaks of dye in your hair you don't look that much different now than then. At that age I had a beard and a full head of hair still. ;)
