In our Malaysian community, we usually call her as Kak Nico. She is also has been around in cosplay world for a longer period, and I’ve personally known her even when before she was married. She is currently a self employed entrepreneur, currently living in Johor (Malaysia) where her husband also resides now. Her husband also in into cosplay, and perhaps that is how they have met, and decided to get married. Their favorite cosplay duo is mostly from One Piece, a popular genre in the Shounen jump circle.

Nico Haruna personality is more down to earth, she is friendly person and approachable also she is a tall person, almost the same height as me (In general Malaysian population, 170cm + is considered tall!) usually if we are in the same event area, I would notice Nico from a mile away and know it is her.

Nico Haruna is currently married with Jimi san, and living in Johor Bahru.
