Kazuki (voiced in Japanese by Toshiyuki Toyonaga and in English by Landon McDonald) is one of the main characters in the anime Buddy Daddies.

He works as an assassin with his partner Rei, and the rest of the time works together (finally) with him to take care of their recently acquired daughter, Miri. He’s usually the housekeeper and cook out of the two.

Kazuki has fluffy golden blonde hair and orangey-brown eyes. He wears a white t-shirt underneath a red hoodie with yellow detailing, topped with a green trenchcoat with shoulder patches. He has a pair of standard blue jeans, a tan belt holding them up, and a pair of black and tan boots with red laces.

Patricia “Patty” Thompson (voiced by Narumi Takihira in Japanese and Cherami Leigh in English) is the younger sister of Liz Thompson and the weapon partner of Death the Kid in the anime and manga series Soul Eater.  Patty is shorter than her elder sister, with brighter blonde hair which she wears in a bob haircut with bangs.  Her outfit is similar to her sister’s, though a bit more revealing, swapping out Liz’s long jeans for a pair of shorts instead.

Kakihara (played by Tadanobu Asano) is the sadistic yakuza enforcer who meets his match in Ichi the Killer.  Kakihara has distinctive scars on his face, which you’ll need molding wax to replicate.  He wears a couple of outlandish outfits throughout the film, though the embellished shirt and iridescent pants he wears in his final showdown with Ichi is certainly one of the most striking.  To recreate his costume, you may need to be a little flexible, as finding a holographic purple suit and sequin-embellished dress shirt can be difficult.  A rose-gold button-down with a shimmery gold floral pattern will fill in nicely, and you can either choose to focus on the colors of Kakihara’s suit or the holographic quality, depending on your preference.

In Paint, Carl Nargle (Owen Wilson) is a soft-spoken artist teaching viewers how to paint on public television. His calming voice, majestic perm, and oil landscapes bring to mind beloved TV host Bob Ross of PBS’s The Joy of Painting fame.

Shout (Thomas Hobson) is a character in the Nickelodeon series, The Fresh Beat Band. He is the keyboardist for the titular band. Shout has a ton of energy and excitement, though he’s also very intelligent. His catchphrase is “Cool beans!” As seen with his outfit, his favorite color is orange.

Miya (voiced in Japanese by Takuma Nagatsuka and in English by Ry McKeand) is one of the main cast members of the anime Sk8 the Infinity.

He is one of the younger members of ‘S’ but is very well known in the circle for his talent. Miya does skating competitions, training to move forward with it professionally with the help of his manager. Aside from skateboarding, he also enjoys playing video games.

Miya has fluffy black hair with two ahoges, and vibrant green eyes. His outfit is very cat themed, with a striped shirt underneath a bright green and blue hoodie with cat ears, eyes, and a tail attached. He wears a pair of gloves while he skates, black sport shorts, blue socks with orange stripes on them, and yellow and white shoes with blue stripes. Miya’s skateboard is black with a purple X on the top, and a cat/game motif across the bottom.

Count Dracula (played by Nicolas Cage) is the centuries-old vampire who keeps the titular R.M. Renfield in his employ in the horror comedy Renfield.  Renfield has been the Count’s familiar for centuries, helping the intimidating vampire secure food and achieve his full power.  All is well and good until Renfield decides he’s had enough.  Count Dracula’s attire in the film varies, but you can always bet he’s wearing something snazzy and a little over the top.  Two of his best looks include a red velvet suit with a golden brooch instead of a tie, as well as an all-black ensemble that includes a fur-trimmed coat and a cane.  No matter which look you choose, you’ll need white makeup and blue lipstick to achieve a truly undead look.  Accessorize with long nails, terrifying teeth, and plenty of oversized rings.

Mori (voiced in Japanese by Mitsuru Miyamoto and in English by Keith Silverstein) is a character from the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

He is the head of the Port Mafia and horrendously ruthless to all those under him and that oppose him. He has a concerning amount of doting affection towards Elise, the embodiment of his ability.

Mori has nearly shoulder length black hair, worn back in a low ponytail. He has unkind purple eyes. The outfit he usually wears when not in doctor-esque garb is a white button up shirt, a purple tie with a black vest and pants. He wears a black long coat over it with a long red loose scarf, and finishes the outfit off with a pair of white formal gloves, and knee high brownish boots.

Q (voiced in Japanese by Haruka Kudō and in English by Tara Sands) is part of the Port Mafia in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

They are one of the more lethal members of the Port Mafia, despite being only 13 years old, due to how their ability works. Q is one of the few characters in Bungo that isn’t explicitly gendered, and is referred to as they in most official media.

Q has split colored hair, blackish-brown on the left and white-ish grey on the right, and two opposite shaped pupils in black and gold eyes (one starry, one circular). They wear a white shirt under a blue peacoat jacket, cream shorts with colored striped running along them, white high socks, and brown loafers. They accessorize with a little blue bowler hat with a yellow bow on the side, a golden scarf, and a red bag with a face on it. They also carry around the doll that ties into their ability.
