Yona Kuromatoki Platform Top Cosplays Rank 2025 and YKIP Fan Favorite Awards 2025

Hallo again, YKPers! I apologize once more for not posting new content on the blog because of various ganaps for the past three months. But now we’re so back again and again, this time for the two coolest events of the year - the Yona Kuromatoki’s Interactive Podcast Fan Favorite Awards and the Yona Kuromatoki Platform Top Cosplays Rank!
 
Much like last year aka the 10^th Anniversary fiesta, we once again internally selected 17 cosplays (an additional two from 15 in 2024), this time, that define the Filipino cosplay community’s 25^th anniversary. Unfortunately, some of them are out and replaced by both new and returning ones, in addition to reigning champ Cure Majesty (Hirogaru Sky! Pretty Cure) to defend the title. As for the YKIP Fan Favorite Awards, much like 2023 and 2024, the 2025 and 5^th anniversary edition will consist the last three episodes of Yona Kuromatoki’s Interactive Podcast 4F, and the first eight episodes plus three special ones of Let’s La a Go!!!!!
