About Us
Meet the duo behind the costumes
Our Story
We're Narga & Aoki, an award-winning cosplay duo based in the Midwest. What started as a shared passion for anime and gaming in 2015 has grown into a creative journey that's taken us to conventions across the country.
For us, cosplay is more than just dressing up – it's about the art of transformation. We love the challenge of bringing fictional characters to life, from the initial concept and design to the final photoshoot. Every costume teaches us something new, whether it's a new technique, material, or perspective.
Over the years, we've been honored to receive recognition for our work, but what truly drives us is the amazing community we've found along the way. We love sharing our knowledge through tutorials and seeing others inspired to create their own costumes.
