YANGON, BURMA – APRIL 24: One cosplayer dressed as Ariel from Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” on April 24, 2016 in Yangon, Burma. Hundreds of youths between 16 to 24 gathered at Hlaing University’s MICT Park dressed as their favorite anime characters for Myanmar’s 8th “cosplay” costume festival in Yangon. The subculture, still relatively new in Myanmar, has provided a method of self expression for the youths since 2012 when the first festival was held and loosened the military’s grip on freedom of expression after junta-era internet restrictions were lifted.
