As part of the three day world cosplay summit, about 500 cosplayers (costume role players) took to the streets of Nagoya, Japan today. The cosplay summit was organized by the Japanese Foreign Ministry and tourism-related organizations based in Nagoya to boost cultural exchanges with other countries through the Japan-originated subculture of cosplay. On Sunday, a total of 30 performers from the 14 countries and Japan will compete for a grand prize. The 14 countries are Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Thailand and the United States.
