Hamu Cotton is a cosplay performer and influencer based in So-Cal. The first part of her name “Hamu” comes from the Japanese word for hamster 🐹 “ハムスター” (pronounced “hamusuta”), which is her favorite animal!

On her YouTube channel (“Hamu Cotton”), she brings together her passions—dancing, performing, singing, make-up, and event coordinating—to bring her favorite anime characters to life. She is best known for her Chika Dance video, which has amassed over 4.9 million views! 

Hamu is very active in the anime scene in California; if you’ve attended an anime event in So-Cal, chances are you’ve come across a wild Hamu! If not, no worries, you can find her plan for future anime events here~ ♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡ 

In her free time, Hamu enjoys listening to her favorite voice actors, watching anime, and spending time with her friends. Currently, she is working on a very special event...so keep your eyes out for that! (ᗒᗨᗕ)
