Carbon Costume Anime
Star Platinum from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure
Star Platinum (voiced by Matthew Mercer in the English animated versions) is one of the first stands introduced in Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures. Largely silent and easily moved to violence, it is incredibly powerful.
Star Platinum doesn’t wear much but creating a cosplay for it takes more DIY than you might expect. You can achieve its purple skin either through the use of body paint of the use of a purple body suit with paint only on your face and neck. If you use body paint on your whole body, be sure and grab a pair of purple shorts to wear under its white loincloth.
It also wears elbow protectors, knee protectors, and shoulder pads. You will have to spray paint standard knee and elbow pads with purple spray paint. The shoulder pads need to be painted gold, however. And you can add the purple curling stripe on his shoulders with foam or cardboard painted purple and glued in place with a glue gun.
After that it’s just a matter of cutting the fingers off white gloves, putting a gold scarf around your neck, adding a gold belt, slipping into some white ankle boots, and putting on a black wig!

Takeru “T.K.” Takaishi (voiced by Junya Enoki in Japanese and Johnny Yong Bosch in English) is one of the characters who returns to the Digimon universe in Digimon Adventure Tri, which takes place three years after the preceding series. T.K. embodies hope and is the younger brother of Yamato “Matt” Ishido. During the seventh series in the Digimon anime, T.K. dons his spring and summer school uniforms, consisting of grey slacks, a blue tie, and sometimes a green blazer. If you don’t have hair to match T.K.’s, you can trim a dirty blond anime wig to more closely mimic his appearance.
