The Krystal Archive stands for the age-independent appreciation of Krystal as a character, so this site is rated PG. There are some major spoilers here and there about the Star Fox games, so be prepared.

Black_Berry surprised me with an email this morning. Look what she sent me!
She also thanked me for years of work on the KA. She will be posting this in her gallery in a few weeks, but she want to give this to me early as a gift. Now you all can share in my joy. :)
Thanks Black_Berry! Keep on being awesome!
I’ve got a new fanart update for you here! Coming later today is a fanart update of epic proportions. You’ll see…
It’s been about 2 months since I last updated the fanart. The system I put in place works like a charm, making the addition of over 300 fanarts no sweat, with the longest part simply adding the warnings individually. I can already see places where the system can be improved.
I just posted the remainder of the information I have on Ayano’s Krystal cosplay on her page. I added the information Ken Singshow provided about the suit and Ayano herself.
A few videos of Krystal at Further Confusion 2010 appeared on YouTube, including Rabbitinthem00n’s very nice one, featured below.

Finally, Ken Singshow sent me a link to his photoshoot gallery with Ayano, which features so very interesting poses and locales (I’m getting the urge to request she reenact scenes from Star Fox Adventures).
Update
Ken sent me this video he took of her during the photoshoot.

This is second longest podcast I’ve ever done: 2 hours and 10 minutes long. Lots of discussion and opinion between the two of us lead to its length.
Sorry about the clicking throughout the podcast. I must get a better mic.
The missing audio has been corrected.
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!
Isn’t that precious! This photo was taken by Ken Singshow. The cosplayer is Ayano.
Please watch this video. It’s very important and affects all of us. The video takes a while to load. Please be patient.
If you hadn’t noticed, every day I’ve been adding more pictures of Ayano’s Krystal cosplay. Apparently everyone wanted a photo or six. Richard L has been sending me lists of pictures DAILY, if not bi-daily. Thanks so much to him for looking through countless galleries. He also found us another video appearance.
After over a year, I’ve created another Krystal fanfilm. I put a lot of effort into it. It has a very interesting effect towards the end. “A Girl Like That” is by Lucas Prata. The music was edited to remove a verse (because frankly there isn’t enough footage of Krystal to manage all three verses). Hope you enjoy!
I added a page for Ayano’s Krystal Fursuit. It has several new pictures and a couple of video appearances I found (like this one at 3:51).
Yet another cosplay of Krystal appeared at Further Confusion 2010 (which is still going on). Kat the Leopardess sent me a link to this image on lynard’s FurAffinity page. I don’t know if lynard is the wearer or just the photographer, but since the show is still going on, we’ll probably see more images, and possibly videos, later. If you find out any info, as always, please let me know!
As you can see, this suit uses skin-tight thick cloth with different colored fabric to represent fur patterns (and the tattoos!). A hard plastic facial mask and wig make up the head. The wearer has a very realistic staff, but the suit appears to be missing the tail entirely.
Updates
As indicated in the comments, Rabbit in the Moon told me that the cosplayer is of Japanese origin, and Ayano (spelling?) is her name. Ayano has been to several previous furry conventions, wearing such costumes as Mithra and Renamon. Also, though you can’t see it, there is apparently a tail on this costume! <3
New picture from Shep! Krystal finally enjoys her sandwich.
(Thanks Richard L!)
(I have a lot of other pictures and some video to show, but I will save that for tomorrow.)
