Cosplay, short for "costume play",is a type of performance art in which
participants don costumes and accessories to represent a
specific character or idea.
Cosplayers often interact to create a subculture centred on role play.
A broader use of the term "cosplay" applies to
any costumed role play in venues apart from the stage, regardless of the
cultural context.
