Josh, also known as Yoko2369Cosplay, has been cosplaying since around 2016, and every step has been a journey, one happily taken.
From his very first convention, when Wizard World rolled through Des Moines, he discovered that cosplay was something that was literally for anyone, he decided that road was one to follow. He borrowed a sewing machine and learned to pattern from a friend, and the self taught the rest. Every project has been a learning experience, and he looks forward to continuing to learn as much as he can from this wonderful journey.
With honorable mentions from Wizard World and QuadCon under his belt with Yang Xiao Long of RWBY, winning Best in Category at the last Planet FunkCon in 2019 with his Ike Greil, from Fire Emblem, he looks forward to furthering his craft. From start to finish, each project he undertakes is a labor of love and every cosplay is one of a character her has a connection with, on one level or another.
Cosplay is a hobby of passion, and he continues his journey to share that love and passion with others. Learning what he can from others, and teaching what he can to more, he enjoys talking and sharing with others, and helping everyone learn to love the art of cosplay to the fullest. He utilizes his management history in retail to help organize for local shows and emcee for the show and contests, and is looking forward to helping emcee the cosplay contest at this years Planet FunkCon.
