Oooo, I spotted an Akram at Fanime one or two years back.  Could that have been you?  You do Shimon also?  I am working on a Yorihisa cosplay but am not sure I will have it ready by May.  :-\

That would have been me, since I'm the only one I know of outside of Europe or Japan. XD
The costume has taken a few improvements since then, I think, though quite a bit of wear and tear as well.
Shimon's only problem is that I go through a new pair of (impossible to find) green socks every con and have yet to find a wig that isn't terrible. I have an Inori as well, but she lives in Minnesota. ;_;
Anyway~ Good luck on Yorihisa! I'll be sure to pounce you at con if I see you there. ^_^

Dang... it just figures that there would be a gathering that might actualy include other characters from Harukanaru Toki no Naka de... now that I'm making costumes from the 3rd game in that series.

I may have to haul out my old Shimon or Akram now just for this gathering. (the former far more likely than the latter, sadly).

Myself and my roommate will be going, costumes so far in progress are:

Mine:
Fuji Syuusuke - Seigaku tennis uniform (Prince of Tennis)
Oshitari Yuushi - Hyoutei Tennis Uniform (Prince of Tennis)
Yagyuu Hiroshi - RikkaiDai school uniform (Prince of Tennis)
Kajiwara Saku - first game kimono (Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3)
Musashibou Benkei - first game regular outfit (Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3)

Hers:
Tezuka Kunimitsu - Seigaku tennis uniform (Prince of Tennis)
Mukahi Gakuto - Hyoutei Tennis Uniform (Prince of Tennis)
Niou Masaharu  - RikkaiDai school uniform (Prince of Tennis)
Kajiwara Kagetoki - original game version (Harukanaru Toki no Naka de 3)

There are also Rikkai Tennis uniforms running around in my head, but Hyoutei takes priority since Kiuchi-san will be at the convention. ^_^

Song suggestions:
"Brand New Breeze" - Kanon (This was the opening to "Kininro no Coruda ~Primo Passo~" and is a lovely semi-classical piece, I can offer a high quality mp3 if one is required)
"Shinjitsu no Uta" - Do As Infinity (it was an Inuyasha opening... closing... something.  But it's a lovely song anyway.)

Also, I'll be another vote in favor of a dress code, it's more fun for all involved when everyone has put forth at least a little effort to really want to be there. ^^

Manga/Anime Based:
Death Note movies
Kamikaze Girls
Yamada Tarou Monogatari (awsome drama based on a manga)
Prince of Tennis Musicals (I'd vote for the Rikkai Set and/or Progressive Match Higa (which will be out by then) since they're most recent)

Other Movies (and Drama) of Awesome:
Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu (aka Be With You - Japanese Version)
Love Letter
Jotei (Drama)
and... if things of a BL-type persuasion are under consideration...
Itsuka no Kimi e
Ai no Kotodama
