Cosplay (コスプレ , kosupure), short for "costume play" is a type of performance art whose participants outfit themselves, with often-elaborate costumes and accessories, as a specific character or idea.
Cosplay participants ("cosplayers") form a subculture centered around wearing their costumes and reenacting scenes or inventing likely behavior inspired by their chosen sources. In some circles, the term cosplay has been broadened to include simply wearing a costume, without special consideration given to enacting characters in a performance context.
