Teru Minamoto from Toilet Bound Hanako-kun
Teru Minamoto (voiced in Japanese by Uchida Yūma, and in English by David Matranga) is one of the secondary main characters of the anime Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun, and the Student Council President at Kamome Academy, in their High School division.
Teru is the oldest of the three Minamoto siblings, the younger ones being Kou and Tiara, and to his knowledge, the strongest exorcist out of the three (that’s heavily debated once his sister shows immense strength in that field at age 5).
While his brother has readily befriended the ghosts that their family had been previously sworn to exorcise, Teru does not show any of this kindness, and is more than willing to brutally take down any spirits that cross his path.
He has a similar appearance to Kou, with slightly fluffier and blonder hair, but the same color blue eyes. His typical clothing we see him in is the Kamome uniform, but instead of a blue shirt like the others, he wears a long sleeved white one instead. Teru carries around an assortment of exorcist tools as well, such as assumedly prayer beads on a bracelet, and his sword, usually attached to his belt.
Safu from No.6
Safu (voiced in Japanese by Kiyono Yasuno, and in English by Hilary Haag) is one of the semi-main characters of the anime No.6.
At the start of the series she is Shion‘s best (possibly only?) friend, and makes some romantically inclined advances at him, though it’s unclear if it’s meant to be pursuing an actual relationship, or if she just doesn’t want to be separated from him.
She ends up becoming a very key part of what’s happening with the city later on towards the end of the short series.
Safu has almost shoulder-length dark brown hair, and brown eyes, and in this particular outfit she has an off-white long sleeved turtleneck, black leggings, brown boots, a deep red skirt, and over top of that she wears a greyish-white winter coat, with a long pink tasselled scarf.
Pakunoda from Hunter x Hunter
Pakunoda (voiced in Japanese by Romi Park, and in English by Erica Lindbeck) is part of the Phantom Troupe in the anime Hunter x Hunter.
She’s the gun expert of the Troupe and specializes in memory reading and recalling, and when not involved in criminal activities, she loves to spend time with cats.
Paku has brown eyes and middle parted neck-length blonde hair, and her usual outfit is a very open fronted purple suitjacket with a pinkish collar, a matching skirt, and slip-on shoes that match the color of the suit’s collar.
Anastasia’s Blue Boat Dress
Anastasia is the titular character of the 1997 semi-historically inspired movie from 20th Century Fox. Meg Ryan is her speaking voice, and Liz Callaway is her singing voice.
She has several outfits throughout the runtime of the movie, but this specific one is one that she wears during the dance she has on the boat with Dimitri.
It is a light blue, short sleeved dress with white cuffs that she wears a brown belt over at the waist, and a matching blue ribbon holds her long auburn hair back. Underneath it she wears a pair of black tights, with brown boots over top. Completing the outfit is a pair of pearl earrings, and the necklace she got from her grandmother as a child.
The dress that I linked in this article is custom from the Etsy seller ArtemisiaLaFee, so please do go check them out if you’re interested.
(Also a slightly funny anecdote, while I was writing this my mom came charging downstairs excitedly yelling that she had found our copy of the movie’s soundtrack on CD, unaware that I’d been writing about that exact thing.)
Ciel Phantomhive from Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler
Ciel Phantomhive (voiced in Japanese by Maaya Sakamoto and in English by Brina Palencia) is the main character in the anime Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler).
Despite being barely a teenager, Ciel is ruthless in getting what he wants, including going down illegal paths or enlisting the help of his battle trained staff, as well as his demon butler, Sebastian. He works as a watchdog for the Queen and heads the Funtom Corporation that he inherited after the murder of his family, which he is still seeking revenge for (though if you’re reading the manga, that’s become a bit tricky lately).
While the color changes a bit between different seasons and OVAs, his hair is usually a blueish grey in color, and he has one vibrant blue eye, with the other one hidden behind his usual eyepatch being a deep royal purple, the Faustian contract he shares with Sebastian overlaid on it.
Ciel has several outfits throughout the series, but this one in particular is one we see a bit more than others. Starting with the accessories, these don’t tend to change, he has blue stud earrings, a black eyepatch, and two family-associated rings. The outfit itself starts with a white button up shirt, a black bow at the front, a long blue coat with matching blue shorts, black socks held up with black sock garters, and then black and white heeled oxford saddle shoes.
Nobimaru from Kemono Jihen
Nobimaru (voiced in Japanese by Hiro Shimono and in English by Kevin K. Gomez) is a complex character from the anime Kemono Jihen, that tends to ping-pong between the main group and the kitsunes.
He is in the employ of Lady Inari, who Kon used to be a subordinate to, but also tends to show up around Kabane and his friends to give them dubious help on occasion because he rather dislikes Lady Inari despite working for her.
Nobimaru has another form that hasn’t been shown yet in the anime (manga only), as well as his fox form, but the main one we see him in is a thirteen year old boy with blonde hair and golden brown eyes. He does also have a fox tail and ears, but he hides them within his outfit, hence the ear covers.
His main outfit consists of a greenish-yellow button up shirt, a pale yellow tie, black short shorts and a matching suit jacket, long white socks held up by black sock garters, and then light brown loafers.
Alois Trancy from Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler
Alois Trancy (voiced in Japanese by Nana Mizuki and in English by Luci Christian) is the partial main character of the second season of the anime Kuroshitsuji (Black Butler).
The second season of the anime switches around between Ciel and Alois being the primary main character, with them bouncing off each other in explosive ways. Alois also has a demon butler (Claude), but he also has an additional hand over Ciel with the entire rest of his staff also being demons.
While outwardly putting out a bratty and stubborn persona, Alois is, like Ciel, highly traumatized by the events of his past, and uses his bad behavior as a defense mechanism to protect himself.
Alois has light blonde hair about the same length as Ciel’s, light blue eyes, and one main outfit that he’s seen in throughout the series. He does have a few other costume outfits and situational ones, but this one is the one we mainly see.
He has a white button up with loose sleeves, a large decorative bow at the front, a long purple coat with a standup collar, a green vest with black detailing, a pair of black short shorts, thigh high stockings, and tall brown heeled boots with purple lacing topped with a large purple bow. Like Ciel, he also has a ring he wears, a gold one that looks like an eye, with an inset ruby.
Kon from Kemono Jihen
Kon (voiced in Japanese by Yumiri Hanamori and in English by Brittany Lauda) is one of the antagonists turned mains in the anime Kemono Jihen.
She is a kitsune (fox) and used to be party of Lady Inari’s group, along with Nobimaru, but defected early on to go with Kabane and his friends, which was a much safer and happier option for her.
As a kitsune, she has some typical fox traits, including the light tan fluffy ears and tail that she hides in her hoodie, and small fangs. She has soft purple blue eyes and light blond hair tied in two low ponytails by her neck.
Her main outfit that she wears is a black striped white FOX brand hoodie with ear covers, hairclips on the edge of the hood, a black choker, black fingerless short gloves, black leggings with purple stripes crossing up them, and white sneakers with black side stripes.
Mihai Florescu from Kemono Jihen
Mihai Florescu (voiced in Japanese by Daisuke Ono and in English by Matt Shipman) is a semi-main/semi-secondary character in the anime Kemono Jihen.
He lives in a side room at the Inugami Detective Agency, and works with the team there as the one in charge of all their tech connections and providing them with resources on the shadier side of the law. Due to being a vampire, he has had many long years studying and mastering a wide variety of skills, eventually got bored with them, and then became a game creator and tech expert because it was the one thing he could find that was always evolving and kept him entertained.
He has a very typical anime-vampire look, with chin length fluffy silvery-grey hair, pointed ears, and red eyes. The outfit he wears is extremely simple, it is just some of Inugami’s old grey sweats that he let him borrow, which ended up being just slightly too big for his frame.
Chimera Ant Kite from Hunter x Hunter
This secondary version of Kite shows up later in the Hunter x Hunter series, and is voiced in Japanese by Uki Satake, and in English by Laura Stahl.
They are a reborn version of the hunter named Kite, and proceeded to continue going by that name, even in a new form. Due to how they were born in this form, they are technically the younger twin of the King of the Chimera Ants, Meruem.
Kite has very long wine red hair that hangs in their face, a large spread of freckles, and identical vibrant pinkish-purple eyes that match their older brother’s. The outfit that they wear is very simple, similar in style rather than color to what Kite wore as a human, and is just a plain black turtle neck, black pants, and brown nondescript shoes.
