Vicious from Cowboy Bebop
A member of the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate and nemesis of Spike Spiegel, Vicious is the main antagonist on the anime TV series Cowboy Bebop. He is a traditional villain: heartless, cruel and violent. He and Spike began as partners in the Syndicate, but when Spike began an affair with Vicious’ girlfriend Julia the two became bitter and life-long enemies. Vicious dresses all in black with a giant black bird on his shoulder and chin-length grey hair.
Elektra Ovirowa
In the movie Cowboy Bebop: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, Elektra Ovirowa previously served in the Mars Army Special Forces in the War on Titan. During the war she started a romance with Vincent, the antagonist of the entire Cowboy Bebop series and movie. Eventually joining forces with Spike Spiegel and the rest of the Bebop crew, she works with them to stop Vincent from eradicating the entire population of Mars. She is a tough, independent, serious woman who wears a black outfit with a red leather jacket.
Richard Aldana
Richard Aldana is the protagonist of the French comic book and Mondo animated series Lastman as well as the video game Lastfight. He is a boxer who swears to avenge his friend’s death after he is murdered by the Order Of The Lion. Set in the “Valley of Kings” where magic is acknowledged as reality, he also helps young Adrian Velba in the duo world tournament to become the grand champion.
Téa Gardner
In Yu-Gi-Oh!, the childhood friend of Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler, Téa Gardner (Amy Birnbaum / Maki Saito) is an amateur duelist and aspiring ballerina. She is a sweet-natured girl who fiercely advocates for the bonds of friendship, and most of her dueling deck is comprised of cute cards and cards around the topic of faith. She is involved in a rather odd love triangle involving herself, Yugi, and Yami Yugi.
Hinata Hyuga
A soft-spoken, polite, kind girl, Hinata Hyuga appears on the surface to be ill-suited to the life of a ninja on the anime TV series Naruto. She is the heir of a powerful and wealthy clan, but they disowned her because of her meek disposition. Once she joins Team 8 and meets Naruto, however, she begins to find her confidence and develop her exceptional skills. In Part 1 of the series she wears her hair in a short bob and covers up in a tan coat and dark pants. Sew on a thick trim of white fur to the jacket and paint on the leaf patch for the full effect.
Julia from Cowboy Bebop
Julia is a member of the Red Dragon Crime Syndicate and the beautiful blonde lover of fellow members Vicious and Spike Spiegel on the anime TV series Cowboy Bebop. Originally with Vicious, she starts an affair with Spike that causes Vicious to spiral into a violent rage, resulting in Julia abandoning Spike for his own safety. They meet later in the series in a whirlwind of events that culminates in the series finale. Her outfit is simple: a black latex leotard and luscious blonde hair with a pistol and sunglasses.
Gaara
In the anime TV series Naruto, Gaara is a ninja-in-training from the sand village Suna and, at first, the rival of titular character Naruto. He is a dark, solitary boy who grew up alone in his village because he carries within him the powerful and monstrous One-Tailed Shukaku. Because of this he vowed to live for himself alone, killing those who crossed his path. In Part 1 of the series he wears a black outfit with a white sash and carries his signature sand gourd on his back. For his brown sash, use a piece of thick fabric for the main part and then sew on stripes of faux leather with a silver buckle at each end.
Sakura Haruno
A member of legendary ninja Team 7 on the hit anime series Naruto, Sakura Haruno is a sensitive, kind, slightly wacky girl with a crush on fellow teammate Sasuke. She is the smartest of the bunch, but as a counterbalance requires the most extensive physical training to catch up to her teammates – which she handily does. This guide covers her outfit for Part 1, a red quipao dress and shorts appropriate for ninja training.
Joey Wheeler
Joey Wheeler (Wayne Grayson / Hiroki Takahashi) is one of the main protagonists in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, and is one of the close friends of Yugi Muto and Téa Gardner. He is also a love interest for one of the gang’s Duel Monsters rivals, Mai Valentine. In the English dub, Joey speaks with a very noticeable New York accent that accentuates his tough-guy attitude and demeanor. Despite this, he is quite affectionate towards his friends and family.
Umehito Nekozawa
The mysterious president of the Black Magic Club, Umehito Nekozawa (Patrick Seitz / Yuji Ueda), is a side character in Ouran High School Host Club. While coming off as a bit spooky, Nekozawa is merely a shy and misunderstood character who could do to have better social skills. He is never seen without Beelzenef, his catlike hand puppet. Nekozawa suffers from a rare condition that leaves him very sensitive to sunlight, so he generally stays hidden under his dark cloak and hides his blonde hair under a dark wig.
