Zach, a sorta-former sorta-current cosplayer better known to many as StripperVash (long story, don’t google it at work), is thrilled to be returning to Holiday Matsuri for his fifth year hosting various events! Normally part of a duo, his lifelong friend Jim, aka Voltz, will be spending this holiday season watching from the audience, heckling, and hanging out in the pool. Even though he’ll be solo, Zach will be lending his hosting talents to many cosplay events alongside several other talented emcees, but is most excited for his favorite event: the In-Character contest, an improv challenge event for cosplayers that always surprises! Be sure to look for Zach in his various colorful suits and other contractually obligated “costumes” throughout the weekend (and please, don’t ask him to take it off unless you’re willing to pay).
