WeGo4Kyo is a multi-award winning cosplay group that began in
Orlando, Florida. The members Evali, Imriela, and Babyberry started
cosplaying in 2004 after Evali introduced her college friends to anime
and Japanese RPGS. They are always up for a cosplaying challenge,
whether its an interesting skit or dauntingly large costume prop. They
have been panelists at AWA for several years, responsible for events
such as the Ouran Host Club Challenge, Cosplay Body Image and
Budgeting Your Time and Money.
Visit their website www.wego4kyo.com to see some of their favorite
costumes and awards they have won.
