What characters do you enjoy dressing as the most?
I like character with [personality] different from [myself]. …tough, and it is a bitch.(=^?^=) Levi [or Revy] of BLACK LAGOON is so, too. I think that it is the most splendid [thing about] costume play that I can transform myself into the other people who are not [myself].
What is the most difficult part about making or wearing costumes?
In fact, it is not so difficult to make costume. It is to change [your feelings when you become the character] to be the most difficult. It is not easy to finish becoming the character [whom you don't share much in] common.
A hobby except my Cosplay is going in LIVE [band concerts] and shopping, and cooking. [When I'm not in costume] am a really common eccentric.HAHA
Often you’ve dressed as characters from American films. What are some of your favorite movies?
I love movies!
I like American and many of overseas movies. I watch any kind of movie, but it is [Sci-Fi] and horror to like in particular. Because [every day I feel like a different movie is my new favorite], it is not possible. Recently, as for the movie which I watched, THE CLONES OF BLUCE LEE was very funny.
Myself, I’d love to see you dressed as Kyoko from Rival Schools: United by Fate). Would you be interested in that character?
Oh! there is the thing that it was recommended the character to me by another friend! Does it become me?
KYOKO is a character such as the icon of the Japanese ideal teacher. If there is an opportunity, I want to do Cosplay. The fighting game of Capcom is favorite one of me!



I want to thank Omi Gibson for taking the time to answer my questions! It was delightful to find that the person behind the characters is refreshingly cheerful and modest.
If you’d like to see more of Omi Gibson, you’ll find links to her various photo galleries on her Twitter feed. She also has a blog, but be warned, it’s in Japanese.

Her answers sound like they were filtered through Google Translate… What happened here?

I think that’s actually the language bridge that we used, since Omi doesn’t speak English and I don’t speak Japanese.

I’m sure she knows that she can a number of guys in a snap!
Awesome cosplay, and she’s really fit!
