Vampire Knight: Aido Hanabusa

Nicknamed “Idol” by the Day Class girls, Aido Hanabusa along with his cousin Kain Akatsuki are known to be “Lord Kaname’s right hand” amongst the Night Class. His fierce loyalty for Kaname borders on jealousy, which is shown in a flashback when he first met Kaname as a child. Aido also has a tendency to overstep his boundaries, which results in humorous, as well as severe punishments from Kaname.

Zen, 全TRUST☆MYDREAM (ぜん) looks very much in character in this photo, and her wig is just right as well! Thanks again to Fumiki for sending this in!

Vampire Knight: Souen Ruka 05

WARNING: This article contains spoilers. Please read at your own risk!

One year after Cross Academy was attacked, Souen Ruka has been seen giving Kuran Yuki etiquette lessons as she continues to serve Kuran Kaname faithfully and protectively. Yuki has witnessed Kaname drinking Ruka’s blood and has come to the conclusion that Ruka may still have feelings for him. Presently, she and Kain Akatsuki have been by Kaname’s side as he continued his rampage on killing purebloods.

This cosplayer is really pretty, just like Ruka, don’t you think? Thanks to Vivian for sending this!

Vampire Knight: Kurenai Maria 03

WARNING: This article contains spoilers. Please read at your own risk!

After losing her Mistress Hio Shizuka and Kiryuu Ichiru, Kurenai Maria decided to attend the newly reconstructed Night Class of Cross Academy. Once there, she approached Kuran Yuki and asked, out of respect for a pureblooded vampire, to take Kiryuu Zero for herself. Although Maria had spoken to him once on campus, Zero has yet to reveal his decision.

Which is probably a “no” when you think about it. Thanks to Billy for sending this in!

Vampire Knight: Kuran Kaname, Yuki Cross, and Kiryuu Zero

This looks like the cover of the Vampire Knight Official Fanbook, although Yuki and Zero were in their Day Class uniforms there. I’m pretty sure that Kaname is cosplayed by Stay since I featured her as Kaname before, but I don’t know the cosplayers she’s with. Probably good friends of hers right? Still such an amazing group though and so in character! Thanks to Pandora for sending this in!

Vampire Knight: Touya Rima 03

Touya Rima possesses a strong, self-assured personality similar to Shiki Senri. She does not like to expend energy needlessly and is a lady with few words. She is a quick thinker, indifferent, and aloof, but often worries about Shiki and Ichijo Takuma. Despite her apparent lack of interest, she has no qualms about speaking her mind and unexpectedly has a short-tempered side as well.

Cute Rima! I believe this is another one of Saya’s works, but I’m not completely certain. Thanks to Emilio for sending this in!

Vampire Knight: Yuki Cross and Kuran Kaname 02

With the knowledge of her childhood friend, Kiryuu Zero becoming a vampire, Yuki Cross decided that she would allow him to drink her blood in order to keep him from falling into a Level E. Little did she know that the very same night, she would run into Kuran Kaname, the vampire who saved her when she was only 5-years-old. Although Yuki tried to hide Zero’s fang marks, it was later revealed by Kaname’s conversation with Yagari Toga that Kaname did know what had happened, but he did not push Yuki to tell him so because he was afraid that he would lose her.

Beautiful cosplay by Filipino cosplayers Amma and Circles Won’t Break! And while you check out their galleries, make sure you also check out Z3ll’s awesome work as a photographer on his Deviant Art and Blogspot accounts! Thanks for allowing me to feature this!

Vampire Knight: Kuran Kaname and Yuki Cross

One fateful night in Cross Academy, Yuki found Zero in the corridor, where he lost control and bit her, revealing that he had been turned into a vampire. Kaname, who happened to be meeting with Kaien at the time, was alarmed at the scent of Yuki’s blood and hurried to the scene. Furious with what had occurred, he approached Zero, but when Yuki tried to come between them, she collapsed. In a cruel manner, Kaname told Zero that he had sucked so much blood from Yuki that she could barely stand, before carrying her away to tend her bite marks.

It’s either that, or this is the scene after Kaname asked Yuki to be his lover, and their first lunch together ended with her collapsing from the hallucinations of her lost memories. Wonderful cosplay by Gust James and Satiko-hime, nonetheless!

Vampire Knight: Kiryuu Ichiru

Zero's younger identical twin brother, Ichiru failed to become a Vampire Hunter due to his weak body and lack of hunter talents. He was believed to have been killed by the pure-blood vampire, Hio Shizuka, but he returned to Zero’s side 4 years later, revealing that he had willingly become Shizuka’s servant. She had given him her blood to cure his chronic illness in exchange for his loyalty, but she did not turn him into a vampire.

Amore’s twin, Artemisia makes a great Ichiru, much like how Amore makes an awesome Zero. Twins cosplaying twins; can’t go wrong there! Thanks again for allowing me to post this!

Vampire Knight: Yuki Cross 06

Born on the 29th of March, Yuki Cross is the adoptive daughter of the Headmaster of Cross Academy, Kaien Cross. She is described to be kind, caring, and cheerful, despite being naive and careless. Yuki is a poor student as she is the academy’s Guardian at night and a full time student during the day, giving her very little time for studying and sleeping.

I finally got to see Kipi’s version of Yuki! I think it suits her very well, and her pose looks so playful! Thanks to Milliard for sending this!

Vampire Knight: Kuran Kaname 11

Once noble king of all vampires who was loved by most and feared by many, Kuran Kaname has become a fugitive with his current act of killing powerful purebloods as well as Aido Hanabusa's father, thought to be Kaname’s ally. With his current whereabouts and true intentions unknown, anger and fear begin to grip the hearts of both vampires and vampire hunters alike; with Kuran Yuki and Kiryuu Zero taking different approaches to calm the coming storm.

Impressive cosplay by Takuki Blackstein! I just knew I had to feature this photo the first time I saw it... I'm only sorry it took so long! Thanks to Taruki for allowing me to post this!

Vampire Knight: Shiki Senri

One of the youngest students in the Night Class, Shiki Senri works as a model alongside Touya Rima during the day while attending his classes at night. He is often seen hunting Level E vampires; once with Takuma and another with Rima. It is later revealed that Shiki is actually the son of Kuran Rido, and the cousin of Kaname and Yuki.

Awesome Shiki cosplay by Karakuri-nin! The expression on the cosplayer’s face is absolutely priceless, as Shiki always looks bored whenever he needs to drink blood tablets. Thanks to Grace for sending this!

Vampire Knight: Kiryuu Zero 07

Zero is very hostile towards the Night Class because of his deep hatred towards all vampires, especially to purebloods who have changed his life forever. He can be very tsundere, meaning cold and distant in the beginning but eventually warming up to people. Despite his anger, his sense of duty overrides his issues, ensuring his reliability and trustworthiness.

Cosplayer Amore of DreamS TraderS makes quite an interesting Zero, especially this photo with plushie Kaname! Looks like she owns a lot of plushies actually; can anyone name them all?

Vampire Knight: Kurenai Maria 02

A distant relative of Hio Shizuka, Maria is a sickly vampire who allowed Shizuka to possess her body in exchange for her blood. As Shizuka is a pure blooded vampire, her blood has many healing properties that would ultimately strengthen Maria. Unfortunately, Shizuka died in the hands of Kuran Kaname before Maria could ever obtain Shizuka’s blood, but Maria confessed that she would have allowed Shizuka to use her even if she received nothing in return.

So pretty! And so much like Maria when she was possessed by Shizuka! I really love how she did her hair for this cosplay. Thanks to Lily for sending this!

Vampire Knight: Kain Akatsuki

Aido Hanabusa's cousin, Kain Akatsuki is considered to be one of Kuran Kaname's Right Hand Men. Despite his “wild” appearance, he is actually quite mellow and laidback. Kain is known for his incredible perception and sensitivity, particularly to Aido’s and Ruka’s feelings.

Impressive Kain cosplay. I only wish we could see more of this cosplayer. Thanks to Imeru for sending this!

Vampire Knight: Yuki Cross 05

Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of Cross Academy’s Headmaster Kaien, is later revealed to the pureblooded vampire princess, Yuki Kuran. Her mother, Juri, sacrificed herself in order to seal Yuki’s vampire nature, allowing her to live 10 years as an ordinary human girl. However, Kaname had to re-awaken Yuki’s vampire self when the original threat, Rido, returned to harm her.

I think this is a photo of Kipi cosplaying as Yuki, but I’m not completely sure. What do you guys think? Thanks to Pikori for sending this in!
