- '''Cosplay''', from "costume play," known traditionally as "masquerade" or simply "costuming" [[Footnote(These terms have fallen out of favor as the general term "cosplay" is now commonly used in general fandom costuming circles.)]] is dressing up as a character from a video game, computer game, anime, band, or TV series. Though originally associated with anime, it it is not limited to just anime characters, and now often refers to any fandom costuming. For example, dressing up as Dr. House from House or a character from Rocky Horror is included in this definition. It is distinguished from "garb" by being focused on appearance as opposed to function (i.e., cosplay archery guards may or may not be functional, in contrast to on functional archery garb worn by historical reenactors). Garb is intended to be worn (and among reenactors often is) on a day to day basis as clothing, while most cosplay costumes are not designed for daily wear.

It is also different than ["lolita" lolita fashion] in that lolita, much like goth, is a style of dress that can be worn daily.
