Oh, hard and interasting questions. There aren't many animes with african-american girls, but I do know some characters that you could cosplay as. Here are some choices (In order of best, in my opinion.):
1) Shihouin Yoruichi- from bleach. (This character I would definatly recommend. I love her as a character, and if I were you, I'd pick her.)
2) Momo Adachi- from Peach girl. (this character isn't a natural african-american, but she does have a dark tan that you could cosplay as.)
3) Halibel- also from Bleach (Great choice, but minor things may be her blond hair and very 'showy' clothes.)
4) Lala Gonzalez- from School Rumble (She strong, and spanish :D.)
5) Noa- from Ultra Cute (not from a popular manga, and it isn't an anime, but its a good choice.)
Sorry, this is all I can think of, but I'd definatly pick (Shihouin) Yoruichi from Bleach!
Just about every Japanese pop culture or anime manga convention is a cosplay convention.
There is no Kingdom Hearts convention. There are cosplayers at anime expos who cosplay Kingdom Hearts though.
It's always fun to cosplay at anime convention such as Comic Con, Anime Expo, ot Fanime. But you could just go to Japan town in San Fransico.
There is no convention for Kingdom Hearts. The thing is that many fans of the series cosplay these characters in other conventiosn such as the Anime Expo.
Maybe Mira Nygus from soul eater? I dunno, I don't see a lot of anime with African American characters (which id too bad because I'm also African American)
You can wear anything you'd like. If you can't buy a Cosplay costume make your own costume with whatever you have and try to make it look similar to a Anime TV show you like.
Do you mean how much do plushies cost at an anime convention? They range in price 8-20 dollars or so.
As far as I know, there isn't. I've heard a rumor of one in St. George, UT, but if there isn't one there, I think your best bet is the Anime Cafe that is hosted by Salt Lake City's Anime Convention, "Anime Banzai". I've been once, and the food was delicious, although they only have a few things on the menu, & The service is nice if you don't mind waiting in line a little bit. The waitresses all cosplay.
