Now, if you think that the only thing you can cosplay are Anime characters, well then you're wrong! You can actually cosplay Asian Celebrities, mostly in Korea. Some of the characters that were portrayed would be either an actress, a member of a band, a band, and a character from a certain drama. So here I'll give you an example of a famous cosplayer here in the Philippines.

Roxie Almeida

Roxie Almeida a.k.a. RoFany is a famous cosplayer in the kpop field. She's cosplaying Girls' Generation's Tiffany Hwang. As you can see, she resembles Tiffany and her fans call her as Tiffany's long lost twin sister. Some of her and Tiffany's pictures will confuse you because it is hard to tell which is which and that's one of the reason's why RoFany's famous. She has so many loving fans that would wait for her to come on different events just to have a picture with her, have her autograph, and meet her in person. If you guys think that it'll be hard to approach her, well once again, you're wrong! She's very approachable and friendly. 

So, how did this all started?

It all started when she joined this contest about kpop look alikes, and fortunately, she's one of the chosen winners! That's the time she started to have fans. And during the Kpop Convention, her fans finally had the chance to meet her. After a while, her facebook fan page was created by her no. 1 fan. As of now, she continues to have so many fans not only in the Philippines but also in other countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Mexico, and the list goes on. Don't believe me? Check this out. Maybe those thousands of fans is enough proof.

Recently, she was featured in Sparkilng Magazine Philippines' October Issue as one of the "kpop idol look-alikes" together with the other kpop cosplayers like Charles as Big Bang's Seungri, Dona as CL of 2ne1, Dondie as Taeyang of Big Bang, Jaysen as TVXQ's Yunho, Patricia as 2ne1's Minzy, and Min Hero as JYJ's Jejoong.
