- Manga.Dead Dead Demons Dededededestruction/ Cosplay: Ch. 49 revolves around two American otakus watching Pres. Padron ranting about the shady antics of the Japanese government while fretting over the details of a fanservice-heavy video game they're developing. At the start of ch. 50, one of them reveals a cosplay costume of one of the characters in their game...which, considering he's an overweight, hairy, bearded man in an outfit that basically consists of frilly briefs and a couple of strategically-wrapped strips of fabric, is Fan Disservice in the extreme.
Just a character cosplaying - (20/50)

- Characters.Ranma One Half Major Story Arc Characters (Azusa Shiratori)/ Shout-Out Theme Naming: When naming a new purloined possession, Azusa doesn't simply pick French names out of a hat; she names them after characters from The Rose of Versailles.

- Characters.Ya Boy Kongming (Zhuge Liang, courtesy name Kongming)/ Awesome Anachronistic Apparel: Kongming is hardly ever seen outside of his trademark Three Kingdoms era blue robe, hat and fan, even in modern-day Japan, which is understandable since he came from that time period. Everyone else thinks he's just a really enthusiastic Cosplayer. That said, he's not averse to wearing more modern clothes, like an LED message visor at a party or a tracksuit while his robes are in the wash. pothole
- Characters.Hidamari Sketch (Yoshinoya)/ Cosplay Otaku Girl: She uses her cosplay tendencies for everything from modeling for her art class to making personalized greeting cards. She is very offended, however, at the suggestion that this is cosplay. pothole
- VideoGame.Final Fantasy X 2/ Impossibly Cool Clothes: Almost every dressphere. The design philosophy seems to be, "How can we make this as hard as possible for cosplayers to pull off?" That hasn't stopped them trying, of course, with wildly varying degrees of success. pothole
- VideoGame.Yakuza 5/ The Cameo: Miku Hatsune appears throughout the game as a UFO prize, an ice sculpture in Tsukimino, and is also featured as a decal for Kiryu's taxi. One of Haruka's bonus outfits in Premium adventure mode has her cosplay as the virtual idol. pothole

- Characters.Code Breaker (Sakura's parents/Yuki Sakurakouji)/ Cosplay: Loves dressing up for no reason. ZCE and misuse
- VideoGame.Dark Souls I/ Cosplay: It's perfectly possible to find nearly every set of robes, garments or armor identical to an existing human-sized Non-Player Character in the game and pose as them, with matching weapons and sometimes shield. Domhall of Zena also provides equipment worn by some bosses after you defeat them, ranging from a scaled-down Iron Golem set to Ornstein and Smough's Scary Impractical Armor to even Artorias's worn-out silver armor. unsure
- Manhwa.Metal Heart/ Cosplay ZCE; In fact it's commented out
- Characters.Tales From The Borderlands (Fiona)/ Fangirl: Implied to be one of Moxxi. If you pay close attention, you'll notice similarities in their outfits, Fiona's seemingly being a (far more modest) Cosplay of her. Really does make you wonder what Scooter really saw in her... note pothole
- Characters.Trigun (Vash The Stampede)/ Your Costume Needs Work: This tends to be the reaction of anyone when finding out Vash is the Humanoid Typhoon - unless they've seen him in action, at least. Badlands Rumble gets an entire bar laughing at the thought, with one patron even suggesting he might be doing Cosplay. pothole
- Characters.Kamen Rider Fourze Zodiarts (Norio Eguchi/Cygnus Zodiarts)/ Cosplay: Has an outfit inspired by Cygnus, and then dons one based on Fourze at the end.

To give you an idea, Sona's older sister Serafall Leviathan, one of the four demon overlords, shows up cosplaying as a Magical Girl (from the Show Within a Show) and acting like a young ditzy teen, much to the former's embarrassment. Rias's father, Zeoticus, also takes some embarrassing footage of her in class, and shows it to Issei's parents during the same arc. And then, judging from how his parents act... No wonder Issei is so perverted. pothole
- Characters.Omamori Himari (Humans/Class President)/ Otaku: Makes references to Dating Sims and even cosplays as a witch in the school festival. pothole

- Literature.Mayoi Neko Overrun/ Cosplay: Occurs constantly during the Jenga game. ZCE
- Manga.KOn/ Cosplay: Sawako has a thing for dressing up the other girls. Possibly also counts as Cosplay Otaku Girl, but Sawa hasn't shown any otaku tendencies so this area is a little gray. misuse
- Trivia.Steins Gate/ Parallel Porn Title: Layers;Gatenote , produced by Total Media Agency, which starred Goro Tameike as Okabe. It was eventually recalled due to an angry letter by S;G's devs. Hilariously, they had the audacity to take scenes from the anime and green screen the actors onto it. pothole
- VideoGame.Nickelodeon Super Brawl/ Assist Character: Super Brawl 3 introduces the "Fan Power" mechanic, which allows you to summon a child cosplaying as a certain fighter to perform an assist move. Super Brawl World also has selectable assist characters, though these are actual non-playable Nickelodeon characters. pothole
