I don't know about Hakken, but I personally know a woman who cosplays as male characters. Chest binding and padding to even out the chest and body, padding shoulders, contouring torso with make up to 'create' bulgy six-packs, manipulating clothes to create male silhouette, stuffing padding inside mouth to change jawline, etc.; there a numerous techniques a crossdressing cosplayers can use to make them look like the opposite sex.

I don't doubt some manipulate their photos; but, while it's certainly not a piece of cake, it can be done irl.
