I am a computer science student at the University of Nebraska @ Omaha. First cosplay appearance was at Anime Nebraskon 2006, which was also my first con experience. I went as Urizane from s-cry-ed. For a small con I was surprised as many people recognized me as they did. Was mostly known as "The Watermelon Guy".
This spring I went to ACEN as Kurotsuchi-Taichou from bleach, seemed like everyone stopped me for a picture, never had a free moment. I plan on reprising it at Anime Iowa and at Anime Nebraskon.
