Cosplay kickboxer Yuichiro Nagashima is bombastically preparing for his next match against Dutchman Albert Kraus, who Yuichiro intends to force into cosplaying Yoko, assuming he is still capable of standing after being crushed by the power of cosplay kickboxing.
Yuichiro first excused himself for being half an hour late to the interview, saying “It’s not Akihabara, so I got lost.” He appeared dressed as Shana, of Shakugan no Shana.
“Shana is a pretty strong character… There’s no particular reason I’m cosplaying her, just because she’s cute.”
The super welterweight champion goes on: “I’ve been practicing wearing a wig on my own.”
His next match will be against Albert “The Hurricane” Kraus, a wicked Dutch kickboxer who threatens to denude Yuichiro of his prized vestments: “If I win, I’m taking Nagashima’s costume home with me!”
Yuichiro is defiant in the face of this bluster: “These costumes are more precious to me than my own life – it’s impossible for him to take them from me. I’ll stop him even if I have to risk my life! When I win, I’d like to take something of Albert-ojisan’s…”
He goes on with his riposte: “Albert-ojisan is very macho, so I think I’d like to make him cosplay in a revealing outfit. Perhaps he’d change in the ring for us?” He points to a picture of Yoko he had on his person for some reason.
Lately Yuichiro has been studying the martial art of gachimuchi pantsu wrestling, in which stripping off the opponent’s pantsu is the objective:
The match will be on the 21st of April.
Via God Bless The Ring.
His recent cosplay has seen him portray Vita, Index and Ranka Lee… Just who will he cosplay next?

I seriously LOL'd at "It's not Akihabara, so I got lost." and the gachimuchi pantsu wrestling. Both gems in a gem of an article, loves the entertainment keep up the good work Artefact ;3

That scares me a little bit. But you gotta admire his dedication. Not everyone carries around a picture of Yoko everywhere they go.........I know, I know, speak for myself.
Awesome ~
I wish I could see these fights somewhere. D:
Yeah some people already mentioned that
you can’t deny the fact that such quality
of cosplay is disturbing unless you can fap
to it.
Dude is butt ugly.
He should concentrate more on his kick-
boxing career.
You would be an asset to any marketing department with that savvy, I can see.
Fuck yeah, Yuichiro!
Yey Shana! Keep at it, but please, don't dress ANYONE up as Yoko, that'd be scary XD
oh gawd, i liked all the other ones, but now, SHANA?! my favorite char of all time?!?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
yeah thats it v.v, though it is a nice cosplay, just not the right person
STRIP THE SHANA COSPLAY OFF OF HIM, AND THEN NUKE HIM! :D
How about you try to take it off him, all you have to do is beat him at kickboxing.
What's that?
Yeah didn't think so.
This guy is my hero
YUICHIRO FTW!
OH FUUUUU-
Y U DO DIS TO SHANA? ;_;
jujitsu , its not gay as long as you dont make eye contact
need to puke... yuck...
lol he just got KTFOed
It'd be pretty interesting if he had a pretty face to go with those clothes (and still kicked ass).
Yaranaika?
Ii otoko!
Go Yuichiro!! Serious, he's made of win~ About time an otaku got out there!! He makes money from cosplaying LIVE, then uses that money to buy MORE cosplays, the guy is just awesome.
Yuichiro ! Yuichiro !
A man wearing bikini is just too scary, somehow.....I'd like him to win and see what he'll take from Kraus.
Can't unsee.
“If I win, I’m taking Nagashima’s costume home with me!”
Nooooo! ;________________;
I really don't wanna know what he'll be doing with it afterwards, either...
Seriously, people wonder whether Yuichiro was gay but what about that Albert? He looks extremely gay to me, and his comment doesn't make him less suspicious. People tend to think of typical gays as dragqueens or crossdressers but in reality the typical gay person is more manly and macho-like. Also it is a scientificly proven fact that machos tend to get the hots for people whom they look up to and consider stronger than themselves (look it up, it's called the 'Aniki Effect'). So if Yuichiro wins, he will in Albert's eyes become his aniki and therefore Albert will go as far as fapping while sniffing his clothes. That is what he needs the Shana uniform for. It's not about the clothes themselves but about the fact that Yuichiro wore them. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. I studied psychology at Stanford.
In the end I believe Yuichiro is far more heterosexual than Albert and I even go as far to say that is crossdressing is actually a proof of that. He dresses as his favorite characters, all innocent and cute little girls, because he likes them and admires them. Sounds very heterosexual to me. That he is advising Albert to cosplay as Yoko is another curious action of his. Yoko is a character whose behavior is very mature and whose outfit can easily be regarded as 'sluttish'. So what Yuichiro actually does is try to demonstrate a contrast between the two of them in regard to cosplaying style. This contrast in style of cosplay again is meant to demonstrate the underlying contrast in sexuality, meaning that subconsciously, Yuichiro already knows that Albert is gay for him and feels endangered in his sexual identity when being approached by him. That's why he feels a need for distance. And actually, I believe this is why Yuichiro will win. Albert is the agressor in this scenario, the guy who wants to rape Yuichiro's clothes. He only fights for his sexual desire, while Yuichiro will be fighting to protect his sexual identity, his otaku identity, his kickboxer identity, everything!!
And as anime told us, wanting to protect something is a much greater motivation than mere desires and will ultimatively give more power to the person motivated by it.
Yuichiro will win!! A fist full of faith won't lose to anybody!!!
Where is the fight taking place?
Liked his Ranka cosplay better btw.
I do like hi9s wig... best red wig i've come across. I went for black in the end, for mine. Plus wooden swords are cheaper and more acceptable.
Red wig without sword and cloak = unacceptable.
Looks like he cosplayed Billy Herrington there. Judging his character, I vote Mariya of Maria Holic XD
As I'm Dutch, I'm gonna have to root for Kraus. The Dutch are pretty good at K1, and I watch it whenever I can. Does somebody know where I can watch this match online?
If Yuichiro wins, it'll be a big step up for him in the world (of K1). Kraus is not really that good, but don't underestimate him. I think it will be a technical KO for Kraus.
Go Yuichiro! My otaku-heart supports you!
Oh, I would like to see this too! =0
I always wondered if there were any online live streams for these fights. If someone know, please do post.
Nothing live usually. The videos from TV tend to be deleted, but cam videos seem to survive.
I'm rooting for Yuichiro-sama. Beating Kraus would be so awesome. I also want to see his reaction after he loses (assuming if Yuichiro-sama wins).
If you take him seriously, you're an uptight failed-otaku and you need to leave. The man is having fun.
Anyone who wants this guy taken down doesn't belong on Sankaku.
Right v_v
LOL, I'd like him to force that macho guy cosplay Yoko, for teh lulz ofc XD
I totally agree ^^ would be totally funny to see the Dutch dude cosplay hahahaha
lol...perhaps he should have 'dream match' of gachimuchi pantsu wrestling with Aniki XD
I'd pay good money to see that fight.
mm.. wat are u going to do about it.. :( he'd knock ur lights out in a second if u flame him (... in person )
That's why we ask for others to beat him for us. That or use projectile weapons.
Or the nuke that someone else suggested. Nuclear fire cleanses.
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!
KILL IT WITH ACID!!!
Third anon FAIL'D.
I hope he loses, so he can be a complete failure.
Aw, how cute, big words from anon hiding in his little turtle shell.
When you say turtle shell you mean parents basement right :P
He's got 12 wins and 1 loss on his kickboxing record, AND he's an otaku. That looks pretty fucking win to me.
I think you forgot to mention the most important thing about him: the fact that he's ugly as fuck, and that ugliness is significantly increased with his cosplays.
Otaku that kicks asses... Havent seen one.
As far as I know, my ass havent been kicked by otaku.
He says himself he is a cosplayer who kickboxes part time.
hold on is he an otaku that kicks or a boxer that cosplays? which one is the root?
thanks, i think i'll give him more credits in that case
now you do
someone nuke him for me please?
lol wut?
why nuke a guy full of win?
Srsly, it takes a badass to boldly cosplay these girls in such a GAR sport, +5 for him to actually be a great fighter too. Especially since if he wasn't everyone would think of him as nothing more than a clown and no one would care.
true he IS godly skilled in kickboxing, but kickboxing is for entertainment, cosplay is for fapping, and while he's in that skirt i'm spitting blood on the screen. i love to watch his matches but i have to skip the first part.
So aren't there people who fap to kickboxing as well? I know there are lots of people out there fapping to Gachi-Muchi-Wrestling...
No, cosplay is for entertainment as well. You just happen to fap to it, since it's a fetish of yours.
GOD I BET YOU FAP TO CARTOON PORNOGRAPHY TOO?!
Out.
That's what's going to happen to him if he doesn't take Mr. Kraus seriously.
That guy, is a former K1 tournament champion as well former world champion with several different organizations WKA, WPKA and IKBO, and his record is at 58 wins, 29 of which by knockout, 14 losses (only 3 of which by knockout, the rest all went to the judges) and 3 draws.
So this guy has been to the dance quite a few times more than Mr. Nagashima, and isn't a slouch in knocking his opponents silly either, and has got a fairly good chin to boot.
Based purely on the numbers, Mr. Kraus is going to have to explain a thing or two, when he arrives at Schiphol Airport, to the Customs Department as to why he's lugging around a dress and wig. :P
DO NOT WANT!!! - First 'Angry Homo Kid' blazes across YouTube and now this guy insults my Shana? There's no decency left!!!
you can't deny the fact that such quality of cosplay is disturbing unless you can fap to it
Kraus forced to cosplay as Yoko would be hilarious taking into account that he is a beast on his division.
btw i do respect his kick boxing skills, but shanna is just too much
No, Yoko would be to far...not because im a fan, but that would just be to DISTURBING, for anyone here i think :P
A guy wearing a bra is too much.
But it's...
MOE!
*Bloody tears flowing*
*commence noseblood backflip*
Uhmm.... SAME HERE!!!
NUKE HIM!!!!
SEXY
I second that
Absolutely. =P
wow the intense sarcasm is rampant here >_>
I'll say it then: he's ugly as fuck, and too gay looking.
Kinda sexy...
He's the ugly and gay looking guy who can beat the fucking crap out of you.
fap fap fap fap fap fap...
Lies. You're hot for him too.
Than the best win! Against a champion gaijin it might not be easy!
The guy is hilarious! Props for taking things in a light hearted manner.
Really can't help but wonder about his sexuality
You would be surprised how many drag queens are heterosexual or bisexual.
this article reminds me of the previous posts about this guy and the comments of a certain person whose online nick is Tyrenol..man! Thaw was hilarious...
Everything goes according to keikaku.
translator note: keikaku means plan.
lol, all that for a "Just as planned."
Super Sexy. I'd hit that.
BTw Is the Hair Real??!?!
if its true *Cool*
Sadly, I wish you were a troll. Then I wouldn't be facepalming so hard.
Hair can be real and still part of a wig, so no contradiction here. Unneccessary facepalm is unneccessary.
if Albert Kraus gonna win,he's gonna take the Yoko costume and wear it.
This guy is intense.
...and he always seems to cosplay my favorite characters.
i think i`m going to vomit...... -_-
Oh god, the visual horrors I have seen!!!
He has to be sued for this!
what? why?
he's not earning money from cosplay [even then there'd be nothing suable]
he's earning money FOR cosplay
this guy is just awesome
This guy never stops to awe me....
Guy infused with power of the internet and win.
I raged for a few seconds since Shana is my favourite character, but then everything got better after that. Hope this guy never changes.
same result
+2
I love Shana, and that picture hurt, but you have to respect a man that dresses like a girl but can kick your ass to hell and back.
