Dark Souls cosplay photo wins prize worth 100,000 yen

The Nippon Cosplay Photo Contest at St. Fest. 2015 posted its winners on Monday.

Votes were tallied for a month and a half via the internet and the event venue itself.

The winning photo of Dark Souls video game character Undead Prince Ricard with 2,224 votes.
