A popular Japanese cosplayer known for transforming herself into real-life versions of hot female anime characters, recently came out as a man who uses makeup, wigs and various accessories to achieve a shockingly feminine look.
With over 65,000 followers on Twitter, and several other thousands on Instagram, Rei Dunois can safely be described as a fairly popular female cosplayer. But appearances can be deceiving. Despite having made a name for herself by transforming into various female anime characters over the last couple of years, Rei recently left her fans with their mouths wide open by revealing that she was actually a “he”. After keeping the appearances up for so long, the talented cosplayer apparently decided to reveal the truth and convince people that they shouldn’t believe everything they see on the internet.

A tiny waste, ample bosom, and an attractive feminine face quickly catapulted Rei Dunois to the status of cosplay goddess in Japan. Quite frankly, most of her male fans never imagined that the woman of their dreams was actually an adult male with feminine features.

“The hot girl whom I’ve been following for a while is a boy? Unbelievable!” one of Rei’s followers commented.

Although the reveal caused a big shock, subsuquent reactions were surprisingly positive, with most commenters praising and commending Rei Dunois for her makeup and digital editing skills. Because yes, did use a bit of tech magic as well.

And in case you’re wondering how the male cosplayer got those big boobs, they’re actually a silicone prosthesis concealed with makeup. They look very real, not gonna lie…
Remeber Takuma Tani, the 42-year-old man who has been cosplaying as a young schoolgirl for almost a decade? Well, apparently he’s not the only one who can pull off the feminine look with ease.
