Misato Katsuragi Cosplay — Akihabara Streets, Photo 4

Full length, ankles crossed, Misato Katsuragi stands at a busy Akihabara street crossing with one hand planted on her hip and the other resting on top of her head, her cool gaze turned away from the camera. The camera is at waist height, and the vertical frame holds the whole figure from the wig down to the boots.

The whole costume is in view: the glossy cropped red jacket with black trim and orange patches on the shoulders, the shiny black mini dress with its high collar and front zipper, the long silver chain with its cross, and flat black ankle boots.

Behind her, the street places the shot firmly in Japan: a blue pedestrian-crossing sign, a red traffic light, a small light-colored truck, a red utility cart, and shop signs stacked over the storefronts.
