In Japan even Playboy likes cosplayers...

... Especially when the cosplayer is a cute big-breasted girl.
 
Weekly Playboy's latest issue features actress and model Fumika Baba dressed as a female, bikini-clad version of One Piece’s main character Monkey D. Luffy.

This special is part of the celebrations for the 20th anniversary of One Piece, which began serialization back in 1997. 
Baba-chan might be not very famous in the west (you may know her for appearing in Kamen Rider) but you can't deny she has a lot of "talent."


And speaking of One Piece, whenever you are in Tokyo don't forget to visit the Tokyo One Piece Tower amusement park! You can find all the info you need in the brand-new Tokyo Geek's Guide.https://www.amazon.com/Tokyo-Geeks-Guide-Cosplay-Ultimate/dp/4805313854/ref=zg_bsnr_16797_12?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=31054G2449V67AE1ZWJS

Speaking of the Tokyo Tower...

I've just finished comparing the Tokyo Skytree to the good old Tokyo Tower (see previous post) and here's some news on this ultra-otaku spot (that I covered in my guide, see p. 8 and p. 111).
Last month the Japan Manga Alliance (comprised of Kadokawa, Kodansha, animate, Shueisha and Shogakukan) opened a new shop in the Tokyo Tower Tourist Information Center.
Called animate JMA Tokyo Tower, the 100-sq.-meter shop stocks some 2,000 anime goods featuring some of Japan's best-loved characters (e.g. Pokemon, Doraemon, Ghibli, etc.).
According to the Nikkei Asian Review http://asia.nikkei.com/Life-Arts/Japan-Trends/Real-manga-shop-in-Tokyo-targets-tourists each publisher contributed about 100 million yen to the initiative with the purpose of tackling widespread counterfeits overseas.
