I've been living in the Aomori Prefecture up until recently. It's a very rural area and it is very expensive to get to Tokyo.
So getting to cosplay events was kind of difficult. However, I did have the opportunity to teach part-time in an elementary school in Hachinohe City and was invited by several local highschools to vist thier cultural festivals, band concerts, and English club events to facilitate the use of English. I was released from service in July to be a full-time university student in Tokyo.
Below is a dirrect translation of my Japanese Profile Page.
Nearly all Japanese cosplayers who have homepages post this and other similar information on thier site.
Some even go as far as to list thier favorite bands, foods, sports, ect...
