She is really in character...! Scary!

These Cosplay characters have really liven up the streets of Tokyo! Does anyone know what is the underlying motivation of these folks... dressing up like a Dracula (make-up, blood shot eyes, blood stains etc) in the heat of the afternoon sun and have countless photos taken by curious tourists like myself? Do they get paid for it? 


I know the people taking photos of this lady isn't paying ... me? Like a true Singaporean... took as many photos as I could & then meeky plan my retreat :)
