Otaku Grope Enako at Nipponbashi Street Festa

Popular cosplay cutie Enako is complaining that she was groped and subjected to the most compromising of photography when mobbed by creepy otaku photographers at the recent Nipponbashi Street Festa in Osaka, calling it the most ill-mannered event she has ever had the misfortune to attend.

She related her unfortunate experiences on Twitter:

“Sutofes is over! I did Fate-chan.”

“But of all the events I have been at so far, the manners there were the worst, which was unfortunate. I enjoyed it, but I had as much discomfort as I did fun, so I just wanted to get out of there.”

“In the press of people, they were touching me up and taking photos of strange places at point blank range (´・_・`)”

Photographs from the event show her looking distinctly unhappy at times, and at all times surrounding by an otaku feeding frenzy:

Enako’s moe-some cosplay has become a regular feature at cosplay events of late; some of her prior appearances for those unfamiliar with her extreme cuteness:

2ch’s otaku population is proving itself a class act as always, wasting no time in blaming Enako, Osaka’s supposed lack of morals, and even foreigners, but apparently not being willing to place any blame on the hordes of camera-toting otaku swarming any cosplayer who was not obviously a man:

“Whenever she turned away the front rank of photographers were trying for peeping angle shots. I really thought it was a total violation of cosplay event etiquette. Still, it was a suggestive outfit and I don’t think anyone is going to be asking for permission to take shots of her crotch.”

“When I took a few shots of her she was still smiling…”

“She was that annoyed in the latter part of the event?”

“She was smiling at first, but when I saw her later she wasn’t smiling at all. I just thought I was lucky to have seen her earlier.”

“Arrest them!”

“It’s just because it’s Osaka.”

“Osaka is the worst.”

“What would you expect from Osaka? It’s a crime city.”

“Enako again! She’s so cute!”

“I like her thick legs!”

“Hey butterface, if you don’t want to be photographed, don’t cosplay!”

“Well, she’s the one selling her high exposure cosplay so she brought this on herself.”

“Looking like that, I can see why she attracted covert photography, though touching her up is going too far.”

“I can kind of understand why they might want to grope her.”

“What is she whining about when she goes about exhibitionistically whoring herself like this.”

“The person who did it was probably Chinese or Korean. They’d just think cosplayers were some kind of prostitute.”

“It’s Osaka, it can’t be helped.”
