Shocotan Performs at AX 2008


Shoko Nakagawa as Haruhi Suzumiya - Hare Hare Yukai

Geekiness is global. Japanese otaku queen Shoko Nakagawa just held her first US concert at Anime Expo 2008 — in multiple anime costumes.


Shoko Nakagawa as Rei Ayanami - Cruel Angel’s Thesis

American anime fans even bought signed Shocotan posters. If that situation sounds familiar to you, it’s because Filipino anime fans buy signed Alodia posters. ;)

  1. She sounds likes she has a cold nonetheless, she performed her supposed to be character, Kudos to her

    Shocotan’s father imparted to her a genuine love of otaku culture. That authenticity shows in her performances. To borrow a phrase from Yonina Chan, she was brought up to dress up.

  3. I think it lacks one thing, lemme think…

    Ah! I remember! Shoco-tan should really cosplay as a Kamen Rider.

    I can see it now…
    Shoco-tan : “Rider…. Henshin!”
    (~3~)y-~~~

    It could happen. She’s a Kamen Rider fan. :)

  5. wow super cool.nananana go for it.

  6. One question, though. How the hell would a female Kamen Rider would look like!?!?!? And how would she HENSHIN!?!?

    I have no idea, but I have seen Shocotan post photos of herself in a Haruhi outfit and Kamen Rider mask.

    Too bad her old blog’s down. I should have saved those pictures! :P

  8. How does a girl Kamen Rider do the Henshin :
    (1) The “Moe” way?
    (2) The “Tsundere” way?
    (3) The “Cute” way?
    or…
    (4) The “H” way???

  9. During her encore, she screams “I love anime, I love comics, I love otaku!”

    And we love Shocotan. :)

  10. Same goes for me!

  11. Me too.
