Construction Details:: Kuro was my first costume, and he's still one of my favorites! I'm not sure I would have continued cosplaying if our Katamari costumes hadn't been so much fun to wear. I wore Kuro to Fanime and Anime Expo in 2005, and lent him to TsukiNoBara for Fanime and AOD in 2006. liddo-chan made the dress and gloves, and we both worked (A LOT) on our heads. Before you ask- no, we cannot see out of them.
Personal Thoughts:: I got an email from Routledge, the publishers of Playing With Videogames by James Newman, back in January 2008 asking if they could use one of Lionel's Katamari photos for their book cover. The three of us had a very short conversation- the result of which was HOLY CRAP YES.
