Recently unveiled by Mantan Web, these captivating cosplay photos prominently showcase Enako, Japan’s highest-paid professional cosplayer, as she effortlessly brings to life the central protagonists from Inuyasha, Maison Ikkoku, and Ranma 1/2. Alongside her impressive portrayal of Kagome, Enako’s transformations include the female form of Ranma Saotome and the character Kyoko Otonashi from Maison Ikkoku. Additionally, a striking image featuring Enako donning Lum’s signature attire—a tiger-stripe bikini—has also been released. This photobook, a collaboration between Enako and the legendary Rumiko Takahashi, will feature the cosplayer embodying multiple characters from Takahashi’s most beloved series. Furthermore, Enako will portray a brand-new character exclusively designed by Takahashi for this collaboration. Titled “Cosmic World,” the cosplay photobook is slated for release in Japan in September.
Excitement surrounding the book’s release is heightened by the anticipation of the Urusei Yatsura reboot, set to premiere in Japan just a month after the photobook’s launch. Produced by David Production, the renowned studio behind Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, this adaptation of Takahashi’s highly influential sci-fi romantic comedy will be directed by Hideya Takahashi (known for Platinum End) and Yasuhiro Kimura, who helmed Jojo’s Golden Wind season. Spanning four seasons, the new Urusei Yatsura series will adapt select stories from the original manga, which captivated readers from 1978 to 1987.
Enako, a 27-year-old model and streamer, has risen to prominence as one of Japan’s most popular professional cosplayers. Her talent and popularity have led to a reported monthly income exceeding $90,000 USD through paid appearances at anime conventions and other events.
As for Rumiko Takahashi, her name carries immense weight and admiration in the world of manga.
