Games
Professor Turo from Pokémon Violet
Professor Turo is the husband of Professor Sada and the main antagonist of Pokémon Violet. He is the primary professor at Uva Academy. Unlike his wife, Professor Turo’s outfit is very futuristic-looking, which can cause a little bit of a challenge when recreating the costume, but also offers some chances to get creative. Most importantly, Professor Turo wears a white lab coat with blue square buttons. You can purchase a regular lab coat and add new buttons to it if you’re up for a little DIY. His bodysuit is another story and you can achieve a similar appearance in a few different ways. A wetsuit in similar colors will give you a very close match, but a set of compression wear may be the more comfortable choice. Lastly, a pair of slip-on shoes and a beard complete the look.
Professor Sada from Pokémon Scarlet
Professor Sada is a character from the video game Pokémon Scarlet. Alongside her husband Professor Turo, she serves as a main antagonist of the game. She is the primary professor at Naranja Academy. Professor Sada wears a fur-trimmed lab coat over a pair of orange shorts and a matching cropped tank top. She also dons a pair of orange leg warmers and brown sandals. To DIY her fringed attire, take a pair of scissors to an orange tank and shorts. An orange necklace with a shark’s tooth or a multi-tooth necklace without orange may suit your needs, depending on your preference. Likewise, Professor Sada’s belt can be achieved with two different waist chains, one in orange and one with dangling shells. To cap off her accessories, add some orange to your hair and nails, as well as a bangle bracelet. If you have a hot glue gun, you can add light pink fur to the collar of her coat. Otherwise, some clever tucking of a faux fur scarf can achieve a similar look.
Junker Queen from Overwatch
The Junker Queen (voiced by Leah De Niese) is a tank hero in the Overwatch game series. She is a brawler who thrives in close combat situations. The Junker Queen has a striking look, with a blue mohawk and a costume designed to show off her muscular physique. To recreate her look, you won’t want to be to attached to any of the clothing used, as some of it may need to be tattered or altered to suit her style. Start with a black sports bra and cut-off shorts. You’ll want to shred a graphic print top with a skull on it to be as itty bitty as possible, as well as cut one leg off a pair of leggings while tearing holes in the side you do where. Then, you can add the red glove and epaulets to your left arm before adorning your shoulder armor. A studded gladiator skirt, red sash, and thigh-high boots will help pull the look together, and if you’re looking to add some studs to the boots or other parts of your costume, a rivet set can help you customize your pieces.
Junpei from 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors
Junpei (voiced in Japanese by Tatsuhisa Suzuki and in English by Evan Smith) is the main player character of the first game in the Zero Escape game series, 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors.
He ends up getting dragged into the second Nonary Game by getting kidnapped and forced to play, and then ends up subsequently being dragged into all the following games that occur throughout the rest of the series. The main person he’s close to through during these following games is his childhood friend, Akane Kurashiki.
Junpei has shaggy brown hair and matching brown eyes, and dresses very comfortably. He has a red flannel button up shirt, with a white hooded vest worn over that, and a bright blue and red vest on top. His pants are dark blue loose capri pants, and his shoes are blue and red detailed sneakers.
Kiriko from Overwatch
Kiriko (voiced by Sally Amaki) is a support hero in the Overwatch game series. Kiriko uses kunai as a weapon and has healing abilities, and is aided by a kitsune spirit, which heavily influences her design. When searching for a costume, there are several full cosplay outfits available for purchase if you’re willing to shell out for the convenience of getting everything together at once. Otherwise, you can save money if you’re willing to get a little creative by layering a skirt over leggings paired with a short-sleeved top. (Cut the front panel of the skirt for an even closer match.) You’ll also need a wig, kitsune-inspired headband, fingerless gloves, and red high tops to complete the look.
Clover Field from 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors
Clover Field (voiced in Japanese by Yukari Tamura and in English by Wendee Lee) is one of the semi-main characters in the first two games in the Zero Escape series. For this piece, I’m covering her look from the first game, 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors.
Clover has the 4th watch during the second Nonary Game (the first being prior to the start of the series) and is the younger sister of one of the other players, Snake. While usually cute and bouncy, she’s also prone to extreme violence when people she cares about are hurt or killed.
She has extremely voluminous pinky-red pigtails and turquoise eyes, accentuated by little face gems underneath the left one, and she wears a pair of snow leopard printed earmuffs. The outfit that Clover wears is very akin to a schoolgirl type look, with a white shirt, a red and green plaid bow, and a matching skirt. She wears an oversized black jacket with hot pink detailing and puffs as the sweater pulls. Clover’s shoes are a pair of hot pink heels, worn over black socks, and she wears very fluffy legwarmers with pink puffs that match the sweater attached to them.
Lisa Garland from Silent Hill and Dead by Daylight
Lisa Garland (voiced by Thessaly Lerner in Silent Hill and Maude Théberge in Dead by Daylight) is a nurse at Alchemilla Hospital. She is responsible for treating Alessa Gillespie. Lisa’s appearance is mostly the same between the two franchises, though she is a bit rougher-looking in the more recent Dead by Daylight. Her costume consists of a white nurse’s dress and cap, as well as a red cropped sweater and matching heels. She wears an armband and name tag that say “SP.” To recreate these accessories, you can wrap a bandage around your upper bicep and handwrite the designation. You can do the same with a name tag.
Buster from Brawl Stars
Buster is a Chromatic Brawler like Colette. Appearing in Season 15 of Brawl Stars, Buster is a fast brawler with high health stats. To recreate his look from the game, you’ll need blue boots, jeans, and a black t-shirt with a strip across the chest. Top the clothing off with a green cargo vest. Complete the costume with a bullet wig, reflective sunglasses, and a pink headband.
Vittorio Toscano from Dead by Daylight
Vittorio was a 12th-century lord, philosopher, and scholar who sought to find a paradise. He hired a mercenary named Tarhos Kovaks to assist him but was betrayed and locked in his own dungeon. He was only saved from death through his knowledge of lost symbols that allowed him to escape into the world of Dead by Daylight.
Sheva Alomar from Resident Evil 5
Sheva Alomar (voiced by Karen Dyer) is a Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance agent who first appears in Resident Evil 5. As part of the West African branch of BSAA, Sheva is assigned to help Chris Redfield navigate Kijuju in order to stop the sale of a powerful bioweapon. Sheva is a versatile agent, making her an excellent ally. Sheva’s costuming is in line with her profession and role in the game. She wears sturdy boots and green pants, with a plethora of belts and harnesses to hold her supplies and weapons. Her camisole top includes a light blue and white pattern, so look for a tank top that has similar colors or the same cut. She also wears forearm guards, fingerless gloves, and a colorful necklace. A red tattoo pen and a steady hand are your best bet for recreating the tattoo on her left bicep.
