The contestants who joined the event included renowned cosplayer and gamer, Kayo Satoh, gravure model, Yuka Kuramochi, and actress Mai Hino, who all dressed up as Street Fighter’s iconic Chinese fighter. However, none of them won the contest, as it was awarded to cosplayer and body builder, Taichi Shimizu, who cosplayed the Russian grappler named Zagief. Remember that awesome Zangief cosplayer back in Comiket 89? Yeah, that’s him!
