K Valentine took up cosplay in 2000 due to a coin toss. Had it landed tails, he would have attempted fan art. A grizzled convention vet, just when he thinks he's out... something like a chance to work with PVC pulls him back in. K is primarily a convention reporter/photographer so his costumes tend to be simpler to avoid hindering his movement during coverage. He generally cosplays characters who carry a gun, are womanizers, or are charming jerks who get the job done to match his convention persona. His favorite costume that embodies all three elements is Lupin the 3rd. K is also a method actor that adds versatility to his cosplay.
