Jim Morales from Code Lyoko
Jim Morales (voiced by David Gasman) is the physical education instructor at Kadic Academy in the cartoon series Code Lyoko. Jimbo is boisterous and clumsy, as well as committed to his students’ success and making sure they follow the rules of the Academy. In seasons 1-3, Jim wore a red and black button down with matching pants, but switched to a more comfortable sweater and tan track pants in season 4. Whichever version you choose to emulate, make sure to include a whistle or stop watch to truly embody his gym teacher persona, and don’t forget his signature headband and face bandage.
Asta from Black Clover
Asta (voiced by Gakuto Kajiwara and Dallas Reid) is one of the main protagonists of the Black Clover anime series. Asta is an orphan raised by Orsi Orfai alongside his foster brother Yuno. While Yuno excels in the magic arts, Asta exhibits no talent for magic despite a strong desire to become the Magic Emperor. To make up for his lack of skill, Asta trains his body relentlessly, resulting in a very muscular physique for his size. Asta’s costume consists of blue knickers, a white tunic, and a blue cropped jacket, as well as a headband and, later, a matching cloak.
Jeremy Belpois from Code Lyoko
Jeremy Belpois (voiced by Sharon Mann) is a main character in the French cartoon Code Lyoko. A young genius, Jeremy is a student at Kadic Academy and the unofficial founder of the Lyoko Warriors, which also includes Aelita Schaeffer, Odd Della Robbia, William Dunbar, Ulrich Stern, and Yumi Ishiyama.

Captain Falcon from F-Zero
Captain Falcon is an F-Zero racer and intergalactic bounty hunter in the F-Zero anime and gaming series. Captain Falcon is a muscular man who dons several versions of his iconic uniform throughout the evolution of the F-Zero game series, though all of them include similar attributes.

Ulrich Stern from Code Lyoko
Ulrich Stern (voiced in English by Barbara Weber-Scaff) is one of the Lyoko Warriors and a main character in the French cartoon Code Lyoko. Ulrich is well known to be the best fighter amongst his friends, including Yumi Ishiyama, for whom he has romantic feelings. His relationship with Yumi sometimes leads him to clash with Willian Dunbar, who also has feelings for her. Ulrich’s standard clothing includes cargo pants and a t-shirt all in shades of brown and green. His warrior costume can be recreated by choosing tightly-fitted compression wear in similar colors and pairing them with a pair of katana swords, which are his primary weapons.
Kyoko Kirigiri from Danganronpa
Kyoko Kirigiri (voiced by Yoko Hikasa in Japanese and both Erika Harlacher and Caitlin Glass in English) is one of the main characters in the Danganronpa anime and game series, including Trigger Happy Havoc. Kyoko has long, light purple hair which she wears down with a braid in the side during her high school days. Her high school outfit consists of a purple jacket, orange tie, and pleated skirt. In Danganronpa 3, Kyoko becomes the 14th Division’s leader, and her outfit matures a little with a purple bodycon skirt, ankle booties, and her long hair pulled back in a low ponytail. In both versions, she wears a white long sleeved blouse and studded black gloves.
Doki Doki Literature Club
Doki Doki Literature Club is a freeware visual novel game. While it initially appears to be a light-hearted dating simulator, things take a more sinister turn fairly quickly. The four main characters of the game include Monika, Sayori, Yuri, and Natsuki, all of whom vie for the attention of the male protagonist at different points of the game. The girls all wear identical school uniforms that include a tan blazer, blue skirt, and orange vest. You can choose which character to emulate depending on the socks and wig you pair with the rest of your costume.
Éowyn from the Lord of the Rings
Éowyn (played by Miranda Otto) is the sister of Éomer in The Lord of the Rings. She is a minor character introduced late in the series. She is at first enamored of Aragorn, though she eventually goes on to marry Faramir. Éowyn is incredibly strong-willed and eventually impersonates a man in order to fight with her fellow countryman. She saves King Théodon’s life and kills the Witch-King of the Nazgul, who a prophesy had said could be killed by no man. If you’re willing to really commit to your costume, feel free to dirty up your outfit and tatter your cloak for a more authentically used look.
Yumi Ishiyama from Code Lyoko
Yumi Ishiyama (voiced by Mirabelle Kirkland) is one of the Lyoko Warriors from the French cartoon Code Lyoko. Yumi is a calm and athletic person, as well as Aelita Schaeffer’s best friend. Her relationship with Ulrich Stern wavers between platonic and romantic throughout the series. Yumi’s typical clothing is black and straightforward. However, to recreate her original virtual costume, you’ll need to be a little creative. By layering red leggings with brown socks and beige sports tape, you can mimic much of her outfit. Then, you’ll need to layer a yellow obi over your dress, and wield a pair of fans to finish the look.
