Essio

04/06/2026

I was watching a Hetalia R18 After Hours Panel on YouTube back in 2014ish (maybe earlier?). A Prussia cosplayer/panelist was doing Twister game with the others and yelled out, (I honestly don't remember the exact words) but it included: "ESSIO'S FOOT!!" in the yell. I liked the sound of the name, never heard anyone else have it, and I was starting to grow out of the "japanese name" phase for myself which was: "Yunata Hanayaki", also coz at that point I wasn't really interested in japan culture EXCLUSIVELY so I didn't wanna put myself in a box (really was overthinking the whole thing if anything)

What’s the story behind your cosplay name?

Every cosplay name has an origin story.

Some are based on favorite characters.
Some came from gaming usernames.
Some were random ideas that somehow stuck for years.

Drop your cosplay name in the comments and tell us the story behind it!

You might inspire someone who’s still searching for their own cosplay identity.
