if people can cosplay fictional characters, you can cosplay as historical leaders all you want.

It all depends on the context. I wouldn't go cosplaying Julius Caesar to an anime con, but somewhere relevant? Hell yeah.

I think it's called larping. There are communities for this

What if it’s someone relevant to 1900s Japanese history who is currently dead?

Nah.

I was going to make a samurai armor suit. That's probably the most cringe one you could do, but I think it's cool and I'm asian so it won't be as bad. I just don't want to be associated with the fedora wearing katana retards.

If you want to do a historical military cosplay just pick a character from Golden Kamuy. Don't go dressed as Tojo with a noose hanging around your neck or whatever retarded idea it is you have in mind.

>> No.10643864

>>10640990
Nah it's fine, just don't do fucking Nazis and other war criminals like the edgy cringelords out there would egg you on to do.

>> No.10644000

You should definitely do something like Tojo with a noose around your neck or maybe a Nazi or some war criminal.
