Carbon Costume

Shinobu Kocho is a character from the hit anime, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. Known as the Insect Pillar, she is one of the nine Hashiras of the Demon Slayer Corps. She creates lethal potions for demons to make up for her swords skills. Despite her laid back and playful personality, she harbors an intense hatred towards demons, because they killed her older sister. However she always smiles because her sister had loved her smile. Her catchphrase is “yoohoo!”

King Candy (voiced by Alan Tudyk) might look like a sweetheart but he’s the biggest villain on the track in Sugar Rush. And his villainy doesn’t stop when the flag drops. When Ralph threatens the sweet setup the King has going, he lets the big guy see the full force of his royal anger.

As the King it makes sense that King Candy’s outfit is one of the most lavish in the game. His crown is narrow but tall, sitting high on the bald dome of his head. It might be hard to find an exact match for the crown but a bald cape and some fake eyebrows repurposed for the wings on the side of his head will at least give you the royal ‘do. A purple coat with tails, a red bow tie, gold pantaloons, gold tights, and purple shoes are the most eye-catching parts of his outfit.

There is a little bit of DIY with this costumes, however. Gold harem pants can be shortened into the King’s pantaloons since finding a pair ready-made is very hard to do and expensive. And the white shirt under the coat can be accented with white paper doilies to recreate the large ruff of the King’s coat. Use a red sharpie to color in the peppermint swirls at the top of the doilies and find yourself a costume cane and you’re ready to go!

Atsumu “Yukiastu” Mastuyuki is a handsome student in an elite school. He seems to have everything together. The only problem is his childhood traumas, including the unresolved grief he holds for the death of his childhood friend years ago. One day he is contacted to meet up with his old group of childhood friends in memory of the mutual friend they lost. Yukiatsu grapples with his grief and his childhood friends in Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (Anohana Bokutachi Mada Minu).

Aang is a youthful Avatar, originating from the lost Airbender tribe. He’s discovered by a young Water Nation girl named Katara, mysteriously encased in a block of ice. His childhood began ages ago, with most of his friends from his early memories having grown up. Luckily for him, he finds friendship and camaraderie with Katara, her brother Sokka, and even an old foe. But can they keep his childish nature in check so he can save the world?

Yadina Riddle (voiced by Zoe Hatz) is the kind of girl other little girls look up to. It’s hard not to when she grows up to be the president of the United States! Determined and curious she is the perfect companion for her brother’s adventures. And the perfect heroine in her own!

Cosplaying as Yadina is fairly easy. A black wig in short ponytails, a blue t-shirt, pink coveralls with a star painted on the chest, black converse, and a stuffed turtle toy are all you need. That and a can-do attitude!

Muichiro Tokito is a character in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba. Known as the Mist Pillar, he is one of the nine Hashiras of the Demon Slayer Corps. At fourteen years old, he is the youngest Hashira. He is aloof and unaware, usually staring at the sky instead of paying attention. Although he takes his position very seriously and proves to be an excellent swordsman. While we don’t know much about him in the anime, the manga reveals more. For instance, when he was eleven, demons killed his twin brother. And when Nezuko regains her humanity, she distinctly remembers Muichiro.

Kitty might be the number one agent in the Turbo Undercover Fighting Force but that doesn’t mean her job is a breeze. Especially not when she has a partner like Dudley. They mange to make it work though, thanks in no small part to Kitty’s extensive training, determined attitude, and wide range of skills.

In Wreck-It Ralph, Candlehead (Voiced by Katie Lowes) is the space case among the racers of Sugar Rush. This game within a movie is home to lots of adorable little race car drivers, all of them sugar sweet in costume even if their personalities are a little sour. Candhead, however, is sweet inside and out. She’s the comedian of the group and loves to have a good laugh.

Dressing up as Candlehead takes a little bit of handiwork. A brown beanie, pink felt, and an LED candle can be combined to recreate her hat. After that you just need a pink track jacket, brown shirt, pink skirt, brown leggings, black boots, and pink laces for her outfit. Don’t forget a green wig styled into pigtails to round out the costume!
