K1-Max Cosplay Fighter

You'd never think K-1 and cosplay would be related in any way. But now there is Yuuichiro "Jienotsu" Nakajima. He's not just any K1 fighter. He is an anime-otaku K1 fighter.
His love for anime is shown in his K1 ring entrances and appearances at press conferences. In his latest fight he entered in Ranka cosplay and doing her dance from her song Seikan Hikou. He also won that fight with a KO, though in later rounds he got TKOed himself. Too bad he can't fight in cosplay. Would be funny seeing Ranka punching a K1 fighter knockout. Previously he has cosplayed as various anime characters including Hatsune Miku and Haruhi. It is hilarious when all other K1 fighters get pictures taken in fighting pose in a suit while he does a pose in cosplay. I also got quite some laughs with his ring entrances. It seems he has gained quite some support from the akiba-kei. If more people would do this we could get a K1 fight between anime characters~
But still.. cosplay would be preferred over crossplay. Seeing good female cosplayers in the ring would be nice wouldn't it?

Here's a video of his latest appearance:

Anime Sping Season 2009

Winter season is coming to an end so its time to take a look what the spring season is offering.

Shangri-La (like the cover image),
K-on (kyoani of the season),
Sengoku Basara (wondering how they change japanese history),
Senjou no Valkyria(heard good things about the game),
Pandora Hearts(shounen series of the season),
Saki(yeah Mahjong Anime~),
Queens Blade(images in the megami creators makes me wonder what it is about),
Hayate no Gotoku 2(Hinagiku~),
Tears to Tiara(enjoyed the game),
Tayutama (ecchi harem serie of the season),
Polyphonica s2(s1 was reasonable).

Ovas:
Denpa Teki Kanojo(biribiri~?),
To love Ru(because I watched the anime),
Koihime Musou(I don't know why...),
Yurumates(like the art),
To Heart 2adplus(Tama-nee~),

Still a large amount of titles -.- I guess the amount will drop after some eps or prioritizing.
