Leaping Lizard Cosplay

Leaping Lizard Cosplay

Leaping Lizard Cosplay, or just Liz, for short, has been cosplaying since 2007 and currently resides in beautiful Honolulu, Hawaiʻi. She lives by the motto: “Cositivity – Positivity in Cosplay,” and believes cosplay should be welcoming, empowering, and fun for everyone.

Liz is first and foremost a video game addict, but her cosplay portfolio spans a wide range of fandoms; from anime and video games to TV shows, comic books, and cartoons. She’s also a fitness nut, passionate about promoting an active and healthy lifestyle both in and out of costume.

As a fan of all things cosplay, her favorite part of the community is meeting and connecting with new people. Whether it’s chatting at cons, geeking out over builds, or cheering on fellow creators, Liz is all about fostering joyful, inclusive spaces.

Throughout her cosplay journey, Liz has earned several awards for both craftsmanship and skit-based performances, including Best in Show, Judges’ Awards, and Best Animated Skit. She has modeled for companies, been hired to portray original characters from indie comics, and appeared as a guest cosplayer, judge, and panelist at conventions and special events across the country.

Her work has also been featured across multiple media platforms, including the web series Days ‘til Dragon Con, as well as in magazines, documentaries, television, online interviews, and newspapers; celebrating her creative flair and community impact.

Beyond conventions, Liz shares her journey online through Twitch streams and YouTube content. She builds cosplay live, creates tutorials, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the beautiful chaos of competitive cosplay and crafting.

Behind the glitter and glue, Liz is also a fighter. She lives with CVID (Common Variable Immune Deficiency), a primary immunodeficiency, along with MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and ulcerative colitis; all of which come with their own unique challenges. Despite the daily physical toll, she continues to show up for her community with humor, heart, and honesty. Sharing her journey helps others feel less alone, and she’s a passionate advocate for accessibility, compassion, and representation in fandom spaces.

When she’s not at her sewing machine or streaming a boss battle, you’ll probably find her lifting weights, tackling a creative project, or encouraging others to take care of themselves; in and out of costume. Whether she’s hosting a Twitch stream or filming a YouTube tutorial, Liz blends chaos with comfort and reminds everyone that cosplay is for every body and every story.

Above all, Liz is proof that you can be strong and silly, stylish and sincere, broken and badass — and that cosplay truly is for every body and every story.
