MapleLeaf_Cos has been on a nearly decade-long cosplay journey that began with simple closet cosplays and grew into fully hand-crafted builds featuring foam work, custom sewing, styled wigs, and even LED lighting and soldering. Their ever-evolving skillset is a testament to a love of learning and a drive to bring characters to life as authentically and creatively as possible.

What began as a hobby quickly turned into a passion – sparked by a heartfelt moment when a young fan chased them across the con floor just to snap a photo with their favourite character. That unforgettable experience cemented MapleLeaf_Cos’s dedication to the craft and to the community that surrounds it. Since then, they’ve continued to grow both as a maker and a mentor, excited to share knowledge gained from both success and failure.

For MapleLeaf_Cos, cosplay is more than just costumes – it’s a joyful way to learn, connect, and contribute. Whether you’re new to the hobby or deep in the foam and fabric trenches, you’ll find inspiration and encouragement in their work and wisdom.
