I've been thinking about putting up a Q&A for a while, since we've been getting a lot of comments, notes, and people coming up to us at conventions and asking us. Hopefully this will help you all get to know myself, and ~caineyamiyasha a little better!

Also, feel free to comment with any questions you may have and we'll be sure to add them to the list. And we may add more later.

QUESTION AND ANSWER FOR and

Do you make your own costumes?
YES. We take pride in the construction of our costumes, fully, down to accessories and full styling of our wigs.

Will you make me a costume?
Actually, Riku owns a commissioning business online called Taiyo Cosplay -- So he may be able to if his schedule allows it but it requires payment in return. If you're asking if we will make you a costume for free? Then I'm sorry, the answer is no.

Can I barrow your costume?
Ha ha! Hell no.

OHMYGOD! ARE YOU PART OF KOI COSPLAY?!
No. No, no no no. We have our own cosplay group that was formed back in 2006 called 'Ninja Shank'. We've preformed at about every single nor-cal con there is, and some so-cal conventions. We take pride in our 50+ awards that we've won for craftmanship and presentation.

Not that we don't love Koi to death, because they're like our extended family, and we them very much. But they make it very clear on who their members are.

Is Caineyamiyasha a boy? or a girl?
I'd like to make it clear to all right now, that Riku is A BOY! Honestly, and truly! Believe me, being his girlfriend for about two years, if anyone knows -- I do. And I wouldn't lie to you, my friends! He is just a very pretty boy, and the excessive asking is rather annoying. So please stop.

I saw you at a convention but I was too afraid to say hello, if I see you next time can I say hi?
YES! Riku and myself love meeting new people. Feel free to come on over and say hi!

What do you guys do when you're not at conventions or working on cosplay?
We actually both have full-time jobs! Riku works at Electronic Arts in the LQA and Gaming department 40+ hours a week (he actually just finished working on The Sims 3!), and I'm a Receptionist at a Dental Office.

When we're not working, we're probably in cuddling in bed watching movies, cooking, or hanging out with friends.

Also! I have some things up for sale at my Cosplay.com Marketplace: [link]
I'm really tight for money right now and I have a lot of great things for sale for affordable prices. You can't find that kind of quality for my prices.

Also, friends on dA! Feel free to pimp the fact that I have things for sale (I.E. Posting them in your journals as well!), Because I really need the money for upcoming bills. Fanime raped my wallet. :<
