Kitty Kaboom’s casual Mai Shiranui recreation is excellent, and even includes some work with fans
One of the best cosplayers in the Fighting Game Community, Kitty Kaboom, has done a terrific job in capturing the essence and look of Street Fighter 6’s latest DLC character, Mai Shiranui.
Sporting Mai’s casual look that she dons right before you confirm her selection on the character select screen, Kitty absolutely nails the costume and personality of this fighter.
Mai Shiranui is scheduled to release very late on Tuesday night, or early Wednesday, depending on the timezone you reside in, and she’ll be the 3rd character playable for Season 2 of Street Fighter 6, and will be followed by Elena in the spring time of 2025.

Kitty’s costume work is top notch, as you’d expect, and she even has a video above of her working with fans, as you’d surmise Mai Shiranui would have with her, considering it’s one of her signature attacks.
Mai is one of the most popular characters in all of fighting games, who made her debut in the 1992 release of Fatal Fury 2.
