Yaya Han and Omi Gibson as the Cowboy Bebop Girls

Dream Match of the Century!

Recently, Yaya Han traveled to Japan for an event that opened the opportunity to team up with another cosplay superstar: Omi Gibson. Easily one of the hottest, most anticipated team-ups that a fanboy could dream.

To suit the occasion, Yaya and Omi chose characters from one of the greatest anime of all time, Cowboy Bebop; dressing as Faye Valentine and Julia (respectively). Sadly, due to Japanese standards of public decency, Yaya couldn’t unleash herself for the signature Faye Valentine cleavage. But she has promised to post photo shoots in the future more true to canon.

On a personal note, there’s a grain of surreality for me, since I’ve interviewed both these lovely ladies at some point last year. You can still read those interviews here and here, though I’ll soon transfer them to this site. Seeing them together while remembering that common tie between them (though I’m sure they’ve already long-forgotten) makes them feel more real.
