The first group of official characters to represent this year's World Cosplay Summit was recently revealed. Every year, people from all over the world don costumes worn by their favorite "anime" or TV game characters while attending the event in Nagoya.

Last year, the summit attracted 18,000 visitors.

Yuni, Ras, Glora and Barry, the faces of this year's summit, were designed by local illustrator Meru Kishida.
