Vampire Knight: Kiryuu Zero 10

Another popular Boys' Style model, ROOT is regularly featured in a fashion magazine known as “Men’s SPIDER” and “KERA”. She is also part of the singing group, Signal, together with Amato and Rei.

ROOT played Zero in the musical adaptation of Vampire Knight. She and Akira were guests in Kawaii International’s 19th episode: Boyish Street-Style Kawaii on NHK.

Since I already knew Akira was a girl, then I already suspected that the one playing Zero would be a girl too, and I was right! I can’t find a lot of information on her, but please head over to her official Facebook page if you like her portrayal of Zero! Thanks again to Erica for sending this in!

Vampire Knight: Kuran Kaname 20

Female fashion model AKIRA was born on the 15th of February in Chiba Prefecture. She is a female model who is often mistaken to be a man even among her Japanese fans as she often cross-dresses or wears boys-styled clothing. AKIRA appears regularly in the alternative fashion magazines KERA and KERA BOKU. She is also the leader of the Visual Kei rock band DISACODE as their singer and song-writer.

AKIRA played Kuran Kaname in the musical adaptation of Vampire Knight.

Oh wow, I suspected that AKIRA was a girl, but I didn’t know that she uses her androgynous appearance for work too! Wait, does that even make sense? I just didn’t know that there is a cross-dressing culture in Japan outside of cosplay!

I guess this is also one of the reasons why cosplay is so popular in Japan? Thanks again to Erica for sending this in!

Vampire Knight: Yuki Cross 11

Wakatsuki Yumi is a member of Nogizaka46’s 1st Generation. She was born on the 27th of June 1994 in Fuji, Shizuoka, Japan. She was chosen as an ambassador for a Shizuoka Prefecture guidebook program. Yumi later became the lead actress in the Vampire Knight Musical Adaptation staring as Yuki Cross.

Did anyone here get to see this musical? Was it any good? I haven’t seen any news about it since it premiered last January!

Anyway, I apologize if I don’t have any more information on Yumi, but if you’d like, you can visit her official blog to know more about her! Thanks to Erica for sending this in!
