Little Nero’s Pizza Delivery Guy from Home Alone
“Keep the change ya filthy animal!” The unnamed Little Nero’s Pizza Delivery Guy is a minor character in the movie Home Alone. Kevin McCallister orders from Little Nero’s Pizza, a (fake) pizza parlor in Chicago. He uses clips from an old Hollywood movie to converse with the delivery boy, giving off the impression that he’s an adult. When the delivery boy asks for a tip, Kevin speeds up the movie to a gun scene. Believing the gunshots are real, the delivery boy sprints away. This cleverness makes pizza delivery scene one the most famous in the movie, and a similar scene occurs again in Home Alone 2.
Nezuko Kamado from Demon Slayer
Nezuko Kamado is a main character in the hit anime Demon Slayer: Kimestu No Yaiba. She is the younger sister of Tanjiro, and the sole survivor of the demon attack that killed the Kamado family.

She loves Tanjiro dearly, as he is the only one who can calm her down.

While this costume guide contains a belly stuffer, Rob McElhenney, who plays the aforementioned character, actually gained sixty pounds for a realistic effect.
Zenitsu Agatsuma from Demon Slayer

Tomura Shigaraki from My Hero Academia
Tomura Shigaraki is the Leader of the Villains, and the main antagonist of the anime My Hero Academia. Initially his goal was to kill All Might, but it then became destroying all society. He is the most powerful villain because of his strength and intellect. His Quirk is Decay, meaning whatever he touches with all five of his fingers will disintegrate. The most obvious characteristic is the disembodied hands on his face and body. These hands are actually remnants of his family, after accidentally murdering them with his Quirk. Despite their bizarre appearance, Tomura admits the hands bring him calmness and peace. Our costume guide only features the hand for the face.
