Cosplay文化在台灣近20年，歷經了迷文化到次文化的變遷過程。本研究將這文化變遷歷程劃分為三個時期：90年代萌芽期的迷文化、進入千禧年從迷到次文化的過渡期與2005年之後沉澱期的次文化。 從1990年附屬於社團活動之下的Cosplay活動是一種迷的展現，角色扮演者實踐身為迷的過程，對具體單一文本長時間的投射、文本內容瞭若指掌，逐漸聚集成一個龐大群組體系。逐漸演遷的結果，多元化角色進入，改變了原有的活動模式，於千禧年進入過渡時期，此時Cosplay的意涵不斷地被檢視，並在重複往返中慢慢沉澱，朝著次文化的形式邁進。2005年後，Cosplay有著角色扮演者偶像化與美學形式化兩種極具次文化風格的精神，而Cosplay也不僅止於角色扮演，而是可以從中擷取、挪用的生活美學與態度。 The Cosplay culture in Taiwan has recent 20 years, which process vicissitude from the fan culture to the sub-culture.
