"Plus-Sized" Chubbiness Idol Shows Off Her Squirrel Girl Cosplay

Following a 2013 national audition, in 2014 music label Avex and fashion magazine CanCam launched Chubbiness, a puniko "plus-sized" label with an English name that they described to their Japanese audience as meaning a bit plump, but childishly cute. The "chubbiness" label, the "marshmallow girl" trend/label, the propensity to list the girls' height/weight ...there's a lot there that didn't entirely endear the project to western commentators. That said, Marino Saihara's cosplay is pretty cool.

 

Marino Saihara is the group's resident geek. She's into the Reki-jo stuff like temple tours, sword fighting and other martial arts. She cosplays. And, her event speciality is gatherings for Japanese fans of American comics. 

After discussing the comic events like Tokyo Comic Con with her fans, she showed off some of her cosplay as Marvel's comedy heroine Squirrel Girl.
