If you’ve been to any recreational running events in your lifetime, you know that they’re a great place to show off your personal style, whether it’s tutus, turkey hats, crazy tights, or Santa outfits. For those who love KanColle, it can also be a good place to channel your inner Shimakaze.
This year’s Maizuru Kanko Half Marathon faced some bad weather, but it certainly didn’t deter one man from trying to set a personal best as his favorite destroyer. Known as Micchan, he frequently participates in running events and triathlons in cosplay.
Here are some photos and videos of Micchan as Shimakaze:

新キャラ試着してみたけどお腹が出そう…orz
とりプリの返信の場合パニエ履けば防げるからいいとして
走る時モロ出そうだからどうしようかと思っていたら
某キュアサニーも走ってる時お腹が出てたので「まっ、いいか…」
