When you’re cute as a button, cosplay comes easy. Case in point: Chihuahua-mametaro. The loveable pooch is a cosplay master, showcasing cardboard costumes that are both amusing and relatively easy to make.
“The designs are based on manga, anime/movie characters, or Japanese playing cards,” explained his owner, a Japanese woman named Semba, in an interview with BuzzFeed. “They are things that I like.”
Judging from the photos, Chihuahua-mametaro loves his costumes just the same, as he’s happy to pop his head through the masks. When it’s time to snap the photo, Semba tells him to “go home!” and her pooch jumps into action. Or rather, sits still.
“The main character is the non-moving dog, and my art skill is secondary,” Semba explains. “People laugh when they see these photos. They also praise the dog, who manages to stay still. Chihuahua-mametaro is cooperative. He’s usually quiet and kind, so he rarely gets angry at something.”
Follow him on Instagram. You won’t regret it.
