For each good picture of a male cosplayer you find online, there’s plenty more featuring females. However, today, I’m looking to change all that by featuring 15 guys who really know what they’re doing when it comes to cosplay. For the sake of diversity, I’ve picked people from all around the globe, from the United States to Australia, passing through Finland, Italy, Canada, and more!

Jeff Siegert is a North American artist, cosplayer and music producer. He his most known for his totally epic Raiden (Metal Gear) cosplay, which is one of the most detailed and well crafted costume I’ve ever seen.

Anthony Misiano is a New York City based actor, filmmaker and artist. He began drawing and creating characters early in childhood, and began performing at the age of fourteen. He has appeared in nearly three dozen stage plays and numerous independent films, some of which he has also written and directed. In 2012 he appeared at San Diego Comic Con as the classic comic book villain the Joker, and the internet went a little crazy.

He continues to make his living as an actor and artist, and plans to do so until the day he dies.

I am a Cosplay, Ninja, Giant Robot and Shiba Inu fan. I got into cosplay about 4 years ago when I discovered that I could extend my love for recreating my favorite characters to more than just once a year at Halloween. Over the years I have made some great friends as well as met some of my personal cosplay and creative heroes, all while bringing smiles to fans who share the same passion for the characters I strive to recreate.

Conclusion

As you can see, there’s some really talented male costumers out there, you just have to dig a little deeper than usual to find them! Thanks to everyone who sent in their suggestions for this post! I also have to say that writing this “male cosplay” piece took me a lot longer than what I thought it’d initially take. Tracking all these people and their photographers, and then asking for their permission to feature their work on Geeks are Sexy nearly drove me insane.
