Shino Aburame (voiced by Shinji Kawada and Darek Stephen Prince) is a character from the anime and manga series Naruto.  He is a member of Team 8, under Kurenai Yuhi, alongside Hinata Hyuga and Kiba Inuzuka.  He can control bugs that live inside his body as part of his clan’s special technique.  Members of the Aburame clan are known for wearing dark glasses that obscure their eyes, and Shino is no exception.  In the original series, he also wears brown pants and a grey-green jacket with a high collar that covers his mouth.  When creating your costume, try to find a jacket with a high-stand collar.  In the later episodes of Shippuden, Shino wears a green hooded jacket with a black shirt beneath instead having the collar that covers the lower portion of his face. A cowl neck zip-up can serve this purpose well.  During the Fourth Shinobi War, he also wears a Konoha standard-issue flak vest.  No matter which version you choose, don’t forget your forehead protector, kunai pouch, sandals, and round sunglasses.

Baki Hanma (voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki and Troy Baker in the 2018 anime) is the protagonist of Baki the Grappler.  Baki trains as a fighter so he can surpass and defeat his father Yuujiro Hanma as vengeance for the death of his mother Emi Akezawa.  Baki has shaggy brown hair and a beauty mark over his lip that resembles Emi’s.  For your costume, you’ll need a pair of red shorts to emulate Baki’s preferred fighting uniform.  While finding an exact match might be difficult, plenty of options exist that are very similar, so choose your favorite.  You’ll also need white hand wraps and athletic tape, and you can use a pair of open-toed grip socks to protect your feet.  Baki is covered in scars from his hard years of training, and you can use scar wax to recreate these.  Depending on how many you decide to wear, you may need extra wax.  Choose a concealer in your skin tone (the one linked comes in many) to conceal the edges.  Finally, use a black eyebrow pencil to add your beauty mark and you’re ready for a fight!
