Koku from B the Beginning
Koku (voiced in Japanese by Yuki Kaji and in English by Kyle McCarley) is one of the main protagonists of the Netflix anime B the Beginning.
He is a very multifaceted character, starting off the series as a very quiet person, as we learn more about him and the lengths he’ll go to to reunite with Yuna, his quiet and personable demeanor falls away to reveal his murderous tendencies and god abilities.
His appearance does change a fair amount throughout the series, but this specific one I’ve focused on his how he looks later into season one, with messy blackish-blue hair, and two toned eyes, one greyish brown, the other a vibrant slitted blue, and impressive black wings sprouting from his back.
Koku’s outfit in this form is a bit simple, and also damaged, he has a low neck dark blue shirt, blue jeans, a pair of black boots, a brown belt, and a black jacket with front pockets.
Leslie Withers from The Evil Within
Leslie Withers (voiced in Japanese by Kengo Kawanishi and in English by Aaron Landon) is one of the secondary yet key characters in the horror game The Evil Within/Psycho Break.
He is a trauma patient at Beacon Mental Hospital, and is the only person out of the group that gets dragged into STEM that is compatible with Ruvik’s mental transference studies enough to potentially be his new vessel.
Leslie is very pale, possibly due to albinism, and as such has nearly colorless eyes, as well as pale platinum blonde hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes. He’s covered in a variety of wounds and skin irritations, some of which could be self-inflicted, or part of the abuse he went through at the hands of the doctors he was in the care of.
The outfit he wears throughout the game is the standard Beacon patient wear, with a greyish white long sleeved straightjacket type shirt that has the Beacon logo on the chest, as well as matching strapped pants. They are both excessively dirty, possibly with a combination of dirt and blood.
Yuna from B the Beginning
Yuna (voiced in Japanese by Satomi Sato and in English by Brianna Knickerbocker) is one of the main leads in the Netflix anime B the Beginning.
She starts off as part of the Market Maker group, a circus-themed group of criminals that is keeping her brainwashed, and is used as the key to capturing the main character, Koku, as he cares very much about her. They share a very special bond, going into stories of legends.
Yuna honestly has one of the most confusing to find hair colors that I’ve ever seen in a wig, it’s almost a creamsicle color, orangey-peach as best I can tell, so I tried to find the closest thing to it. She has light blue eyes, and around them are markings typical to the other Market Maker characters, with emphasized eye makeup, and a tiny pink teardrop underneath.
Her regular outfit is very simplistic, it’s just a sleeveless short black dress, black opera gloves, black slouch boots, and a red choker.
Izanami from B the Beginning
Izanami (voiced in Japanese by Mitsuki Saiga and in English by Marianna Miller) is one of the side antagonists turned main cast member of the Netflix anime B the Beginning.
They have a very strong attachment to Koku due to their past history together, as well as the legend of the black winged king that they all have connections to. Izanami, along with Yuna for a brief while, was part of the Market Maker group, and is a very strong fighter, albeit using unusual techniques (a skateboard).
Izanami has very pale hair with a pinkish tinge to it, vibrant blue eyes, and some of the most elaborate makeup out of all the MM members, including drawn on brows, a spiked crescent moon under their eye, and another mouth drawn to the side of their actual one.
There are two main outfits that Izanami wears in the series, but I chose the season one version. Even as a child, Izanami wore a mix of both the boys and girls outfits at Jaula Blanca, and this carried on into adulthood, with the current outfit they wear being a long white button up dress with rainbow buttons, a black suit jacket over top, a black tie around their neck, black gloves, dark cuffed jeans, one pink and white striped sock, one purple and pink striped sock, and a pair of white and black thick soled shoes.
Barrel from The Nightmare Before Christmas
Barrel, voiced by Danny Elfman, is part of the trio of antagonistic Trick or Treaters in the 1993 movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, along with Lock and Shock.
He is presumably the youngest out of the group, and has pale blueish tinted skin, wide eyes with black and purple-red smearing around them surrounding black pupils, turquoise lips, and slicked back wavy green hair.
Barrel wears a costume similar in build to Lock’s, with it essentially being pajamas, but his are greyish or purple (depending on the version) with white stand-out bone detailing on both the shirt and pants. In line with the other two, he also has a trick or treating mask, with his being a white skeleton face that mimics his own.
Akira Fudo from Devilman Crybaby
Akira Fudo (voiced by Koki Uchiyama in Japanese, and Griffin Burns in English) is one of the central main characters of the Netflix adaption of Devilman Crybaby, along with Ryo Asuka.
He starts the series off in a completely different form than this one, originally quite small and meek, but it’s this taller and more brazen form that he spends most of the series in, after going with Ryo to a club that leads to quite a transformative experience.
In this form, Akira has noticeably sharper features, his hair is darker and way more spikey and messy, and his eyes look like they’re constantly lined.
He typically wears a grey or black shirt, usually with a black zip up bikers jacket over top, black skinny jeans, and blue shoes with lighter blue laces.
Julia Argent from Carmen Sandiego
Julia Argent (voiced by Charlet Chung) is one of the key characters in the Netflix version of Carmen Sandiego.
She is an A.C.M.E. agent that was formerly part of Interpol, and one of the few people in her team from the beginning that believed that Carmen wasn’t the threat that the rest made her out to be, which lead to her helping Carmen’s team in future.
Julia is lightly freckled, with dark eyes and very short blackish-blue hair. Her main outfit she’s seen in during the series is a blue pantsuit set, a reddish orange shirt underneath, a pendant necklace, stud earrings, circular framed glasses, and chocolate brown loafers.
Cutthroat from Akudama Drive
Cutthroat (voiced in Japanese by Takahiro Sakurai and in English by Matt Shipman) is one of the main characters in Akudama Drive, part of the akudama group that Swindler joins.
Out of the entire group that we follow through the series, Cutthroat is the top most wanted criminal in that universe, with an expected prison sentence of almost 1000 years, due to living up to the title, with nine hundred and ninety nine murders to date.
Cutthroat has a fixation with the color red as well as an intense bloodlust, and ends up quite devoted to Swindler, following her around and showing rather twisted gestures of affection.
With only the eyes being a standout feature, a rather hypnotic purple-pink color similar to Swindler’s, Cutthroat’s hair and outfit are all white, with a long inner shirt, a long jacket, loose shorts, and boots, as well as white hand bandages. Black long socks and the collar the akudama group all got are the only differently colored pieces.
Ryo Asuka from Devilman Crybaby
Ryo Asuka (voiced in Japanese by Ayumu Murase and in English by Kyle McCarley) is one of the main characters, as well as the primary antagonist later on in the series, of the Netflix adaption of Devilman Crybaby, along with Akira Fudo.
Ryo has been Akira’s best friend since they were children, but has always been different, in ways that are revealed later on in the show. He seems to care deeply for Akira, but is also highly manipulative to get results he wants to see, as well as causing catastrophic events for humanity as a whole.
In a slight departure from how he looks in other Devilman iterations, Ryo has much shorter hair than his other counterparts, while still being blonde with blue eyes. The main outfit we see him in during this series is a white, short sleeved button up shirt with a bulky, puffy looking long white coat over top, with matching white pants and shoes.
Swindler from Akudama Drive
Swindler (voiced in Japanese by Tomoyo Kurosawa and in English by Macy Anne Johnson) is the main character of Akudama Drive, and the main reason that the entire story of the series kicks off in the first place.
At the start she was just an ordinary girl working for the city she lived in, which had a very firm crackdown on crime and criminals, until an innocent mistake threw her headlong into the world of akudamas where she joined their ranks to save herself.
While her appearance does chance rather drastically by the end of the series, at the start she has shoulder length black hair with pink streaks in her bangs and detailed purplish pink eyes.
Swindler’s main outfit is rather simple, it’s a pink and white zip dress, high fingerless gloves, a blue bracelet, thigh high socks, pink heeled shoes, a small blue backpack, and the digitally linked choker that the other akudamas also have attached to them.
