Lip-Sync Battle Judges
Riku
Pronouns: Any
Hi, I'm Riku, an 18+ cosplayer with over 10 years of experience in cosplay and performance. My favorite style of performing is a mix of contortionism and contemporary, with veil styles blended in. I'm also really into the weird and creepy side of things, like junji ito and slasher movies; but also love cute stuff and artsy things. I'm excited to come judge for this lovely event.
Riku won 1st place at our Lip-Sync Battle last year.
