Cartoons
Yukishiro Honoka from Futari wa Pretty Cure
Yukishiro Honoka (voiced by Stephanie Sheh in the American dub) is one of the two main Cures in the anime series Futari wa Pretty Cure. Alongside Misumi Nagisa, Honoka gains the power to turn into a Cure, a legendary warrior. As the White Cure, Honoka wears a white dress with light blue accents and ties her hair half up. If you choose to dress as Honoka at school, the process will be relatively simple. However, to recreate her White Cure costume, you’ll need to roll up your sleeves for a little creativity. First, you’ll want to layer a short white dress over a light blue petticoat. Then, you’ll don white arm and leg warmers. To add the blue details of her costume, you can use iron-on heart-shaped patches on the arm and leg warmers. Likewise, you can use a hot glue gun to add a heart to your hair bow, as well as add another bow and light blue ruffles to the dress. You can always adjust the amount of detail you add based on your skill level or commitment to DIY.
Aya Tademaru from Kemono Jihen
Aya (voiced in Japanese by Kaede Hondo and in English by Corina Boettger) is one of the secondary characters in the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.
Revealed in Shiki’s backstory, Aya has complicated ties between the kemono and human world, as she was born to be used as a tool, instead of raised as a proper child. Since reconciling with her brother and mom, Aya has stepped extremely outside of the shell that she used to be and is very loudly her own person now.
She has bubblegum pink hair, tied up in a high ponytail, and purple eyes. Her chosen outfit consists of a burgundy choker collar, a matching tube top, light blue short-shorts with spider webbing at the bottom, an over-sized jacket that matches her hair, with a gold spiderweb on it alluding to her powers, and the look is finished off with black socks and red high-top sneakers.
Super Lois from All-Star Superman
Lois Lane (voiced by Christina Hendricks) takes on some superpowers of her own in the comic and cartoon movie All-Star Superman. Superman gives Lois, who is usually a journalist without superpowers, a serum that provides her with his abilities for 24 hours. Super Lois’ costume is very similar to Superman’s, consisting of a blue and yellow leotard with red cape, gloves, and boots. You can layer a yellow crop top over a blue long-sleeved body suit to get closer to her costume’s design.
Sean Rafferty from Ready Jet Go!
Sean Rafferty (voiced now by Glen Gordon) is a friend of Jet‘s on the PBS Kids show Ready Jet Go! Sean’s father is a scientist and Sean hopes to follow in his footsteps. Sean has a matter-of-fact attitude and unlike Sydney, initially has a hard time using his imagination. Sean has messy brown hair and wears brown sneakers with jeans and a green and white long-sleeved shirt.
Billy Joe Cobra from Dude, That’s My Ghost!
Billy Joe Cobra (voiced by Darren “Beardyman” Foreman) is one of the two main protagonists in the Disney cartoon series, Dude, That’s My Ghost! along with Spencer Wright.
Billy is the ghost of a (former, by technicality of death) popstar, who still holds a passion for both music and the fame scene in general, enjoying the hold he still has on parts of it.
While he had human colored hair and skin when he was alive, his color scheme upon death turned pale and blue, which left him with light blue hair, in the same style as it was when he was living. Like Spencer, he has typical cartoon black circles for his eyes.
His usual outfit is a orange button-up shirt with yellow stripes across it, a thin long red tie, a green half-jacket over top, standard blue jeans, and orange high-top shoes.
Chrollo Lucilfer’s York New Disguise from Hunter x Hunter
Chrollo (voiced in Japanese by Mamoru Miyano and in English by Robbie Daymond) is the founder and current leader of the Phantom Troupe is the anime/manga Hunter x Hunter.
The outfit I’ve chosen for this article is the disguise that he wears in the York New arc when he’s infiltrating to steal Neon Nostrade’s nen ability, though he does have several other outfits that will be featured in another article later on.
Chrollo has soft grey eyes, and while he usually wears his hair slicked back, for this outfit he wears it loose and down, with a greenish grey ribbon covering the cross tattoo he has on his forehead. He wears the bauble earrings that he usually has on for this, but the rest of it is a pretty standard suit jacket and pants over a white shirt, black tie, and black oxfords finishing off the look.
Spencer Wright from Dude, That’s My Ghost!
Spencer Wright (voiced by Rasmus Hardiker) is one of the two main protagonists in the Disney cartoon series, Dude, That’s My Ghost! along with Billy Joe Cobra.
Spencer has a huge passion for filmmaking, and a fascination with creating and watching horror movies. He is one of the few people that can see Billy, as he and his friends have an item that Billy owned when he was alive that allows them to interact with him.
He has light brown loosely spiked hair, and cartoon typical black eyes. The shirt he wears is a baseball style tee, white with red sleeves and a ghost iron-on image on the front. He has standard blue jeans, green and orange sneakers, and carries around his camcorder that he uses for his movies pretty much everywhere he goes.
Bibi
Bibi is a supporting character in Poko, a children’s stop-motion television series. She is a young girl who appears in the second season. She is Poko’s friend and occasionally visits him for play dates. Like Poko, Bibi has a magic ability. Her magic sticker book can turn the sticker of an object into that real object.
Jet Propulsion from Ready Jet Go!
Jet Propulsion (voiced by Ashleigh Ball) is the main character of the PBS Kids show Ready Jet Go! Jet is an alien from the planet Bortron 7 who relocates to Earth with his parents to study its customs. Once they settle in Washington state, Jet befriends Sydney, Sean, and Mindy. Jet has red hair and wears a blue puffy coat with blue pants and grey boots. To make his boots look a little more like they do on the show, you can wrap a red boot lace around them to give them their signature pop of color.
Misumi Nagisa from Futari wa Pretty Cure
Misumi Nagisa (voiced by Lara Cody in the American dub) is a high school student and lacrosse player in the anime series Futari wa Pretty Cure. Nagisa gains the power to turn into the Black Cure, a warrior who fights alongside Yukishiro Honoka‘s alter ego the White Cure. The Verone Academy’s uniform is very straightforward; pair the outfit with a messy ginger wig to transform into Nagisa. If you want to emulate her Black Cure look, you might have to decide how much effort you’re willing to put in to get closer to her appearance on the show. To start, you can deconstruct a purple mess shirt by cutting the arms and midriff off so you can layer it under a black short-sleeved crop top. Then, don a pink belt over a black ruffled tulip skort and pull on black arm and leg warmers. You can hot glue a white bow to the front of your shirt and use iron-on heart patches to add details to the costume. Lastly, if you’re up for a little extra DIY, you can cut and glue ruffled organza lace to add the finishing touch to her look.
