Cyborg Ninja Spotted At TGS
September 28, 2009 4:00 PM | Eric Caoili

All of the major gaming news sites have galleries up of cosplayers from last week's Tokyo Game Show, but I just wanted to feature one outfit from the expo that amazed me, this Cyborg Ninja from the Metal Gear Solid series.
Almost all of the photos I've come across of the costume are striking. Chalk it up to the talents of the photographers, the subject's bright blue contact lenses (I'm not certain if that's a man or a woman in the outfit, but I'm leaning towards woman), and the contrast of the hard white plastic helmet on the blue padded suit. More photos after the break!


[Update: As Cullen points out, the Cyborg Ninja is actually cosplayer Omi Gibson, who is "very much not a boy."]

From your Wired link:
"Jiro and his friend “Omi” (left, dressed as a Metal Gear Cyborg Ninja) both played the new game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker at the show. “It was hard,” said Omi, laughing."
I'm pretty certain "Omi" is "Omi Gibson." Look it up, very much not a boy.

Yes, that's Omi Gibson. She's brought that ninja outfit a lot before, and is definitely not a boy.
