Carbon Costume Anime
Ginko from Mushi-shi
Ginko, whose real name is Yoki, is the main character of the manga and anime series Mushi-shi, who is followed throughout the series solving mushi cases. He rarely comes back to the same show location more than once, to reinforce his ‘wanderer’ status.
Giovanni from Pokémon
As the head of Team Rocket and the former gym leader for the Viridian City gym in the Kanto Region, Giovanni chooses Persian as his Pokémon. He normally has a very calm demeanour, trusting Jessie and James despite their nearly uncountable number of failures, but he is really a ruthless and evil leader. Let’s just say his fashion style is… unique.
Professor Oak in Pokémon
Are you a boy? Or are you a girl? Professor Oak is the very first Pokémon Professor you meet in the wonderful world of Pokémon. He’s forgetful, unable to remember the name of his nephew in games and he’s always around to remind you that you can’t use a bike in the ocean. However, he is an indispensable companion to Ash (and, really, all trainers).
Lust
Dark, mysterious, and seductive, Lust (Laura Bailey / Kikuko Inoue) is a homunculus named after one of the seven deadly sins. In the Fullmetal Alchemist franchise, she is a major antagonist and enemy of Edward (Vic Mignogna / Romi Park) and Alphonse Elric (Maxey Whitehead / Rie Kugimiya). Lust is the only female homunculus and (in the manga/Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood) serves as the leader until she is destroyed by Roy Mustang (Travis Willingham / Shinichiro Miki). Her homunculus mark is located on her chest as reference to her particular sin.
Near from Death Note
The younger and more gifted of L’s successors, Near (Noriko Hidaka / Cathy Weseluck) is characterized by his eerie monochromatic appearance in the Death Note manga. In the anime, his outfit is near the same except for the color of his baggy pajama pants. Despite his genius intellect, he is both childish in his looks and in his mannerisms.
Mai Valentine
In Yu-Gi-Oh!, a beautiful and largely arrogant duelist, Mai Valentine (Haruhi Terada / Megan Hollingshead) is a rival of Yugi Muto (Shunsuke Kazama / Dan Green) and his friends. She cons and seduces men out of money and victories with her faux-psychic powers and her Harpies deck. After spending more time with the protagonists of the series, however, she becomes less cold and hesitant to the idea of having actual friends.
Kenshin Himura
Kenshin Himura is the protagonist of the classic anime/manga/live action film series Rurouni Kenshin. Kenshin has spent ten years traveling Japan as a rurouni in search of redemption, carrying a sakabatō with the vow to never kill again. Kenshin Himura voiced by Mayo Suzukaze in the original Japanese anime and Richard Cansino in the English dub is a kind-hearted traveler. He is secretly also the swordsman known as Samurai X. He fights for justice, and to protect those that are weak. He does not kill his enemies and therefore either has a wooden sword or reverse blade sword on him at all times. You will need to add a little texture and tease the wig with a comb for extra volume then tie it up in a low ponytail. Create the X scar using special effects makeup and you’re ready for a cosplay event during any season.
Shishio Makoto
Shishio Makoto is the main villain of the Kyoto arc of the classic anime/manga series Rurouni Kenshin. He is a former hitokiri that seeks to overthrow the Meiji government, coming into conflict with Kenshin Himura
Teletha Testarossa
Teletha Testarossa is the clumsy but beautiful captain and creator of the Tuatha De Danaan submarine in the 2002 anime Full Metal Panic! Teletha was raised living around submarines and military bases for most of her life. She is described as a child prodigy, ranking the role of a captain at age sixteen.
Duo Maxwell
The class clown and best pilot of his group, Duo Maxwell helms the gundam Deathsythe on the anime TV series Gundam Wing. An orphan raised by the Maxwell church, he is the most personable, lively and ‘human’ of the pilots. Calling himself “shinigami”, or ‘the god of death’, he is always willing to come to the aid of his friends and shies away from no fight. He wears his hair in a signature long braid and dresses in a vintage jodhpurs outfit that bears hints of his religious upbringing.
