When attending anime conventions, one of the most comfortable cosplays youll see being worn has to be the Pro Hero Eraserhead also known as Aizawa! Cosplayers tend to bring sleeping bags to conventions just for the giggles and to be comfortable. A simple character with a simple outfit!
Cosplayers are very particular about what characters they choose to bring to life, Aizawa has been chosen many times for his simplicity and easy costume.
Pro Hero Aizawa
"I have always loved to be able to make a cosplay out of things that I already have in my own home. One of the things I definitely had to make out of this cosplay were the goggles, 14 foot scarf and belt. Everything else were things I already had around the house.... such as black clothing. Simple enough, this cosplay has been a favorite of mine due to the sheer easiness of it and being able to pull it off quickly. The scarf however was the hardest part of this cosplay being made of 14 strips of 1 foot by 2 inch EVA Foam wrapped in fabric. This scarf was also used for his other cosplays and for Shinsous cosplay!"
LarpLikeRae is known for their Princess themed cosplays from My Hero Acaemia and other series. Their Aizawa had fallen victim to the glitter and was then recreated to join the Princess themed series.
Princess Aizawa
"Back in 2020 after creating Princess Bakugou and Princess Todoroki for the firsts time, I had the idea (mainly because I was requested to do it several times) to create my very own Princess Aizawa. When I first made his cosplay, I used items I already had such as pink pants, a pink shirt and his goggles. The cosplay did well but I wasnt a huge fan of it afterall and could not place my finger on why I didn't like it. Later on in 2023 I decided to remake it for a friend to wear at Metrocon for my 'My Princess Academia' group. I remade everything but the goggles. I decided that the goggles would probably stay the same and then add on the pink bows on the side as if Eri would decorate that herself. This cosplay has been a lot of fun to recreate and make, but not one of my favorites sadly and I cannot put my finger on why I feel that way. Hopefully within the future I can bring this cosplay back to life or re-cosplay as him with another version!"
Being able to be in your own comfy clothing while in cosplay is a unique opportunity that most characters can't pull off!
Casual Aizawa
"I have always loved wearing my own comfy clothing in cosplay, something that had always appealed to me, to be able to wear my actual outfits for characters so that I am not out of my comfort zone. Aizawa is one of those characters that I am able to wear my own style of clothing and get away with it! There's not much to his character design, so when picking out a casual outfit for him it was mainly pairing what colors and textures he would wear. I would definitely cosplay this version of him again or even change up the outfit a tad bit to pull his character together!"
