Comparisons between our world and the anime world

Tokyo Ghoul 

The world that the ghouls and humans live in is like a dog eats dog world, however if the only way for you to survive was to kill another would you do it? This type of story line makes readers of the manga and watchers of the anime more interested in the story like as they can in a way relate this to events in our real world. For example if the only way for you to live was to let someone else die could u put yourself through making that decision?, well for the protagonist being half human and half ghoul he can slightly chose which way he must go about this situation. However in some cases he must kill to help his friends and save himself.

Tokyo Ghoul takes place in a universe in which Tokyo is infested with beings known as ghouls, humanoid creatures with supernatural powers that feast exclusively on human meat. Our protagonist, Ken Kaneki, gets a date with Rize Kamishiro, an older woman he had been interested in for some time now, unaware that she is a binge eating ghoul that consumes humans for enjoyment rather than sustenance. After luring him into a dark alley at night, she reveals her secret and attempts to devour him, only for the two to be caught in an “accident” at a construction yard. In a hurry, the doctor reveals that Kaneki desperately needs an organ transplant, but the only available donor at hand was the dead ghoul, Rize. After the surgery, Kaneki discovers he is unable to consume normal human food and uncontrollably craves human flesh. During his first fit of insanity, he is discovered by Touka Kirishima, a fellow student at the same school who also happens to be a ghoul. She reintroduces him to a cafe he often frequents, unveiling that the employees are also all ghouls. Tokyo Ghoul covers the struggles of Kaneki as a half ghoul, half human mixed breed and the challenges he faces in keeping his identity a secret.

This could be one reason why cos-players would dress up and take on the persona of these characters

Naruto

Twelve years before the start of the series, the Nine-Tails attacked Konohagakuredestroying much of the village and taking many lives. The leader of the village, theFourth Hokage sacrificed his life to seal the Nine-Tails into a newborn, Naruto Uzumaki. Orphaned by the attack, Naruto was shunned by the villagers, who out of fear and anger, viewed him as the Nine-Tails itself. Though the Third Hokageoutlawed speaking about anything related to the Nine-Tails, the children — taking their cues from their parents — inherited the same animosity towards Naruto. In his thirst to be acknowledged, Naruto vowed he would one day become the greatest Hokage the village had ever seen.

Being a boy who was not accepted by his village and looked upon as a monster he vowed that he will one day become the Hokage so he may be acknowledged by his village, and through hard times and giving it his all and sticking to his ninja way basically his moto."i never give up that's my nindo my ninja way". 
"I’m not going to run away and i never go back on my word that's my nindo my ninja way". 
but basically it’s never give up and to never go back on his word.

We can relate to him in many ways in saying to ourselves to never give up and believe in ourselves and we will achieve the impossible. Nothing is impossible. I myself have quoted his words during exams personal work and even now for future ambitions; he is quite an inspiring role model.

So many , and I mean Many people cosplay as him and for good reason.
