Scores of cosplayers took part in a competition in Hong Kong, Tuesday, in preparation for the Special Administrative Region's upcoming comics festival.

There was a distinctive Japanese flavor among the cosplayers who turned out early Tuesday to strut their stuff, with many dressed as characters from popular anime, manga or games, including "Shin Sangohumushou 4," "Full Metal Alchemist" and "Saint Seiya."

The Hong Kong Comics Festival will be held from July 29 to Aug. 2. It is an extremely popular event, with organizers hoping to attract more than 420,000 visitors.

The festival has become one of the most popular events in the region, which is also a favorite destination for tourists.

Also forming part of the festival are the Hong Kong Game Fair and X-Zone, which features a variety of extreme sports. (Mainichi)
