Hiya, I'm Yu!
I go by either he/him or they/them pronouns (no preference), and I'm from the west coast of the United States. I'm a cosplayer, dancer, and doodler!
I started both dance and cosplay in about 2011~2012, and they've been deeply connected hobbies for me ever since. While I've explored and undergone formal training in a number of styles over the years, I have strong preferences for modern/contemporary, waving, and breaking. You can often find me at any events local to my region that allow me to give a dance-adjacent cosplay performance. I've recently begun to focus on developing cosplay construction methods that complement this mode of expression!
I've also been drawing for essentially my whole life, and these days I alternate this hobby with my costuming and performing arts. My style derives from my favorite anime visual styles, tactile input, and spite. 😛
As far as fandoms go, Vocaloid is what got me started on my current artistic journey, so I'd have to call it an eternal favorite! (And you can probably tell within about five seconds of being exposed to my taste in music. 🤣)
I'm not as into anime as I have been previously, though I still draw inspiration from some of my old favorites on occasion.
Which brings me to video games -- my current primary source of inspiration! I got into Fire Emblem around 2017, and while I have only played a few of the games, it's been one of my favorite series ever since. These days, I also love Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and Wuthering Waves.
Oh yeah, and I'm queer. A man enjoyer through and through. (And a dragon enjoyer, for that matter. 🐉) So hang around for a minute or two and you're basically guaranteed to witness me gushing about my favorite guys. 😛✨🏳️🌈
