"A Co Down woman has been crowned the top cosplayer in the UK with her
seven-foot-tall Totoro costume — which she and her husband made entirely from
scratch — inspired by the title character in the 1988 Studio Ghibli animation
My Neighbour Totoro.
Claire Clarke (43) said that she was “ecstatic” when she was named the winner
at the Northern Ireland Comic Con convention earlier this year but added she
was “totally shocked” when she took the top prize during the regional heats in
Liverpool last weekend, when she was up against the overall champions from the
likes of the Scotland and Wales Comic Cons."
