Misa on Wheels
Misa on Wheels is a disability advocate and cosplayer based out of New England. She started cosplaying at conventions over a decade ago and found her passion, as well as many amazing experiences, through this wonderful community. She got her well-known nickname from a dear friend she met at her first convention: “Misa” being the female lead in the anime Death Note, who was her first and most beloved cosplay, and “on Wheels” being her primary method of travel. Misa was born with a form of Muscular Dystrophy, called Charcot-Marie Tooth disease. The condition made the nerves in her lower arms and lower legs extremely weak causing her to start using a wheelchair at age 10.
Misa can be found in a great many places on the web, but she calls www.facebook.com/MisaOnWheels home. She started the page many years back as a place to share photos, convention stories, and her thoughts on cosplay. It has since become the stage for her message, “Cosplay is for Everyone,” and, in more recent years, has evolved into a space for sharing her writings and disability-related content. She has attended many conventions over the years as a guest, presenting on topics such as cosplay, disability representation in popular culture, and bullying. Misa on Wheels is honored to have been a part of PopCult Anime Con all these years and is so grateful to the staff and community who always made PCAC an amazing time!
PopCult Anime Con’s first mascot, Summer the Mermaid, was based on Misa with permission. Her advocacy is a huge part of why and how PCAC is the community event it is today. The honor has been all ours.
