Carbon Costume Yumeno Kyūsaku (Q) from Bungo Stray Dogs
Q (voiced in Japanese by Haruka Kudō and in English by Tara Sands) is part of the Port Mafia in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.
They are one of the more lethal members of the Port Mafia, despite being only 13 years old, due to how their ability works. Q is one of the few characters in Bungo that isn't explicitly gendered, and is referred to as they in most official media.
Q has split colored hair, blackish-brown on the left and white-ish grey on the right, and two opposite shaped pupils in black and gold eyes (one starry, one circular). They wear a white shirt under a blue peacoat jacket, cream shorts with colored striped running along them, white high socks, and brown loafers. They accessorize with a little blue bowler hat with a yellow bow on the side, a golden scarf, and a red bag with a face on it. They also carry around the doll that ties into their ability.

Kouyou Ozaki from Bungo Stray Dogs
Kouyou (voiced in Japanese by Ami Koshimizu and in English by Cindy Robinson) is one of the antagonists in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.
She is one of the Port Mafia executives and has a similar type of ability to Kyouka, who she had under her control for a long time. Chuuya treats her like an older sister.

Gareki from Karneval
Gareki (voiced in Japanese by Kamiya Hiroshi and in English by Greg Ayres) is the secondary main character in the anime/manga Karneval.
He’s very smart for his age and a highly competent thief, with a large distrust of people around him due to how he grew up. This has changed over the course of the series, with him growing more open towards the people that care about him, that he cares about in return.
Gareki has messy black hair and grey-blue eyes, which he wears goggles over when they’re not perched on the top of his head. He wears a black, high-collared undershirt and dark brown/maroon pants, with a long blue coat over top. The look is finished off with a pair of black gloves, and brown loafer-like shoes.
Ashley Mizuki Robbins from Trace Memory
Ashley Mizuki Robbins is the main character of the Another Code video game series, in both Another Code: Two Memories (Trace Memory) and Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories.
There won’t be a large feature of character backstory for this article, as I’ve only played the first one and the sequel is available on consoles not available in my region. Will update later once I’m able to acquire a copy!
Going on to the actual cosplay though:
Ashley has short white hair, and her eyes are a bit of a difficult color to pin down due to the sprite work, but I put in a dark grey that should work.
She wears a red-orange baseball style crop t-shirt with graphic detailing on the front, dark grey low-rise jeans with a white belt, black wristbands on each arm, and black sneakers with white detailing and laces.
Nai from Karneval
Nai (voiced in Japanese by Hiro Shimono and in English by Sean Michael Teague) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga Karneval.
He is a very quiet and innocent person, and tends to be overly dependent and reliant on those around him. Nai has another side to his story that isn’t revealed until later on.
He has fluffy white hair that tufts out into lavender spikes on the sides and has reddish orange eyes. He wears a loose collared off-white long sleeved shirt with indigo shorts, and white heeled shoes with gold buckles, along with a cuff he wears on his wrist.
Perry from The Last of Us (HBO)
Perry (played by Jeffrey Pierce who portrayed Tommy in the original video game) is a character from HBO’s The Last of Us. He is Kathleen‘s second in command in the uprising against Fedra in Kansas City. Perry has long grey hair and a well-kept beard, and dresses in paramilitary garb, making him a perfectly suited lieutenant as Kathleen searches for Henry. Recreating Perry’s look will require you to stock up on your tactical supplies. Perry wears black pants and a well-worn green shirt, over which he dons a black tactical vest and belt. He also wears heavy-duty boots and black gloves.

Akane has long brown, side parted hair worn up in a partial bun with white hair pins/clips, and grey-blue eyes. She wears a light indigo t-shirt dress with loose sleeves, detailed with designs around the hems, long black sleeves underneath with stripes at the ends and matching socks.

Marina (Shayna Rose) is a character in the Nickelodeon series, The Fresh Beat Band. She is the drummer for the titular band. She loves cracking jokes and thinking of new ideas for the group. Her catchphrases are “Hip hop and pop” and “That would be cool.” As seen with her outfit, her favorite colors are teal and pink. Get a pair of drumsticks to complete the look.
Elmer Fudd
Elmer Fudd is an accident-prone hunter from the original Looney Tunes show. He is an enemy of Bugs Bunny, determined to track down the rascally rodent during rabbit season, but ultimately, Bugs outsmarts him every time. Elmer’s outfit has had some tweaks over the years, but his overall aesthetic remains the same: a brown hunting outfit including a hat with red detailing, brown shoes, and a rifle perfect for taking down pesky rabbits. To recreate his look, you can use some red fabric paint on the inside of your hat’s earflaps.
Belle Bottom from Minions: The Rise of Gru
Belle Bottom (voiced by Taraji P. Henson) is the disco-themed supervillain in Minions: Rise of Gru. Belle is a member of the Vicious 6, which a young Gru desperately wishes to be part of. However, she dashes his dreams when she tells him that villainy is for adults and not children, which leads him to steal the Zodiac Stone from her. Belle’s costume is a throwback to the ’70s, with a purple jumpsuit and platform shoes, a big afro hairstyle, and gold jewelry. Finding her long purple leopard print coat with bright pink trim is almost impossible, so don’t be afraid to find a robe or coat that evokes a similar feel even if it isn’t a perfect match.
