Shigure Sohma from Fruits Basket
Shigure (voiced in Japanese by Yuichi Nakamura and in English by John Murgmeier) is one of the main characters of the anime/manga Fruits Basket.
He is one of the older members of the cursed zodiacs of the Sohma family, and is specifically the dog. He works as a writer, publishing both novels under his name, and romance novels under a pen name. Tohru, Kyo, and Yuki all live in the house that he owns, and he shares the same drive to break the curse as Tohru does, but for slightly selfish reasons.
Shigure has short, grey hair, parted in the center, and similarly colored eyes. Unlike the others, he usually dresses in more traditional clothing, often shown in a dark green kimono with a lighter colored obi. When wearing this, he usually isn’t shown wearing shoes, but he does have traditional sandals in a similar one, so if you need footwear for con, I’ve included them for ease.
Kazuki Kurusu from Buddy Daddies
Kazuki (voiced in Japanese by Toshiyuki Toyonaga and in English by Landon McDonald) is one of the main characters in the anime Buddy Daddies.
He works as an assassin with his partner Rei, and the rest of the time works together (finally) with him to take care of their recently acquired daughter, Miri. He’s usually the housekeeper and cook out of the two.
Kazuki has fluffy golden blonde hair and orangey-brown eyes. He wears a white t-shirt underneath a red hoodie with yellow detailing, topped with a green trenchcoat with shoulder patches. He has a pair of standard blue jeans, a tan belt holding them up, and a pair of black and tan boots with red laces.
Miya Chinen from Sk8 the Infinity
Miya (voiced in Japanese by Takuma Nagatsuka and in English by Ry McKeand) is one of the main cast members of the anime Sk8 the Infinity.
He is one of the younger members of ‘S’ but is very well known in the circle for his talent. Miya does skating competitions, training to move forward with it professionally with the help of his manager. Aside from skateboarding, he also enjoys playing video games.
Miya has fluffy black hair with two ahoges, and vibrant green eyes. His outfit is very cat themed, with a striped shirt underneath a bright green and blue hoodie with cat ears, eyes, and a tail attached. He wears a pair of gloves while he skates, black sport shorts, blue socks with orange stripes on them, and yellow and white shoes with blue stripes. Miya’s skateboard is black with a purple X on the top, and a cat/game motif across the bottom.
Ogai Mori from Bungo Stray Dogs
Mori (voiced in Japanese by Mitsuru Miyamoto and in English by Keith Silverstein) is a character from the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.
He is the head of the Port Mafia and horrendously ruthless to all those under him and that oppose him. He has a concerning amount of doting affection towards Elise, the embodiment of his ability.
Mori has nearly shoulder length black hair, worn back in a low ponytail. He has unkind purple eyes. The outfit he usually wears when not in doctor-esque garb is a white button up shirt, a purple tie with a black vest and pants. He wears a black long coat over it with a long red loose scarf, and finishes the outfit off with a pair of white formal gloves, and knee high brownish boots.
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.
Kouyou has red hair tied up in an elegant traditional bun and eyes in a matching color, with makeup to compliment. She wears two floral detailed layered kimonos, with brown boots, and several hair pins and accessories in her hair.
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.
(June) Akane Kurashiki from Zero Escape: 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors
Akane (voiced in Japanese by Miyuki Sawashiro and in English by Rena Strober [though she has a few VA changes throughout various ports]) is one of the main characters in 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors in the Zero Escape video game series.
She has heavy involvement in the core plot of the game, as well as later parts of the series, along with her brother, Aoi. Akane is also the childhood friend of the main character in 999, Junpei.
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. Her only main accessory (aside from the nonary game watch) is a black infinity scarf, and she wears loose brown boots to finish off the look.
