The World Cosplay Summit is currently being held at Nagoya.
And apparently no one is more hyped up for the event than their mayor and governor.
Here is Governor Omura.
And here is Mayor Kawamura.
The two of them however looked real different at the cosplay summit, perhaps a result of a two-year timeskip.
Here they are.

コスプレサミットのニュースで河村市長と大村県知事のコスプレに、女性アナウンサーのツボにハマってしまいまい、次のニュースに進んでも笑いが止まらず…CM明けに謝罪となりました。 pic.twitter.com/Eydz92YwCq
According to SoraNews, the two broadcasters laughed because it was too similar to the original.
Considering the long-running manga has been going strong for more than 20 years, that might actually be an accurate portrayal of the Strawhat crew when it's all said and done.
Singapore flavour
Coincidentally, two Singapore representatives, Rithe and Kai, are at Nagoya as well.
They are there representing Singapore in the World Cosplay Summit.
In fact, they are actually in the finals.
Here is one of them happy dancing after making it to the finals.You might have seen them in an earlier Mothership article.Awesome.
All the best to them.
