I'm glad I did too...also my room mate talked me into going to Anime Saint louis this year, and I figure if I'm going..i might as well cosplay.
SSSSOOOO 8 months later and a metric ass ton of eating healthy and exorcising I'm Naota (takkun).
Yes. I'm 18 years old and short enough (and soon to be skinny enough) to cosplay a 12 year old boy...also yes I do look like him in human form....but american.
