Yaya Han

2026 Media Guest

In 2013, Han appeared in the Syfy show Heroes of Cosplay.[12] In the show she is framed as a master cosplayer who advises the younger cosplayers and, rather than competing in, is judging the cosplay competitions.[12] 

In 2015 and 2016, Han was featured in Marvel Cosplay Covers as Medusa and Scarlet Witch respectively.[17][18] She later appeared in the Marvel video series “Marvel Becoming” where she was captured getting into cosplay as Gamora and Scarlet Witch.[19][20]

In 2021, Riot Games sponsored Han to cosplay the League of Legends champion Vayne, who was recently updated in celebration of the new 2021 season.[21] That year she also promoted the Netflix show “Shadow and Bone” by cosplaying on of the shows character and, in cosplay, interviewing actors from the show.[22] In 2021, she also promoted Dungeon Fighter Overkill and Resident Evil Village by creating full cosplays of characters from the games.[23][24]

In 2016, Han released a fabric line through JOANN Fabric & Craft Stores which aimed to make cosplay more accessible.[25] After the closure of JOANN in 2025, she started to distribute the fabric line through Mood Fabrics and Linda’s.[26]

In 2023, Han collaborated with bernette to release the bernette 79 Yaya Han Edition sewing machine, which she designed.[27][28] In 2025, she followed this up with the release of the bernette 38 Yaya Han Edition sewing machine.[29][30] These sewing machines, also equipped with the ability to embroider, aimed to provide users with versality and functionality.[28][30]
