Yaya Han

Appearing Friday, Saturday, & Sunday

Yaya Han discovered cosplay in 1999, when it was still a small, quirky section of the geek fandom.
While Yaya had virtually no knowledge of sewing or crafting at that time, her childhood passion for Art and Japanimation got her hooked on the idea of dressing up as her favorite characters. Armed with a used $40 sewing machine, Yaya threw herself into making
costumes headfirst, and quickly absorbed the heart and soul of costume design and creation.
To this day, Yaya has made over 300 personal costumes in every fandom genre imaginable, as
well as her own original designs. Her longstanding consistency of creating intricate and lavish costumes has made her a Craftsmanship Icon in the cosplay world, and inspired countless people to get into cosplay. Since 2005, Yaya has built a successful business creating unique
costume accessories available online and at conventions, as well as her line of Yaya Han Brand
merchandising. She has been invited to appear as a Guest, Panelist, Judge, Performer and
Host to hundreds of conventions and events all over the world.
