What are the laws regarding cosplay in Japan?

I’m a cosplayer and content creator hoping to make a career out of it. I recently read that a permit is needed to cosplay in Japan so I searched it up and read somewhere that it is and then read somewhere else that it’s not and one website said I can’t cosplay in public without a permit and one said I couldn’t cosplay without permission from the creator of the outfit is copyrighted. I have no idea what’s true and what’s not so I’m coming here to ask. Will I be able to cosplay in Japan and what are the laws regarding it, specifically around posting cosplay content?

Edit: Before anybody asks, yes, I have other career paths planned out because I know content creation isn’t easy to make a living at.
