About us

World Cosplay Art Association

The World's First Cosplay Skills Certification Organization


At the World Cosplay Art Association, our mission is to share the allure of cosplay globally and support the improvement of cosplay skills.

In February 2022, we launched the world's first "Cosplay Makeup Skills Certification" and the creatively rich textbook "The Spell Book of Cosplay Makeup". This certification and textbook are designed to help cosplayers hone their skills and apply them to their activities and careers.

Furthermore, we are actively promoting the wonders of cosplay through events and workshops.
Join us in opening the door to the world of cosplay and embark on a new adventure!

TEXTBOOK & COURSE

THE SPELL BOOK OF COSPLAY MAKEUP

The Spell Book of Cosplay Makeup is a guide that covers everything from basic to advanced cosplay makeup techniques.
It takes you on a journey through a fantasy world alongside characters Tarou and Hanako, helping you master the essential "magical" skills needed for transformation.
We named it the "Spell Book" because cosplay allows you to become your favorite character, like casting a spell to bring that character to life.
