Carbon Costume

Mai Taniyama (voiced in Japanese by Kaori Nazuka and in English by Cherami Leigh) is one of the main characters in the anime Ghost Hunt.

She ends up getting thrown into the world of ghost hunting by accidentally injuring Kazuya Shibuya’s assistant, Lin, and having to sub in for him. Even though it was completely circumstantial, she ended up becoming a very valuable member of the team, and started being able to use her own latent psychic powers.

Mai has short, chin length light brown hair, and big, soft looking brown eyes. The outfit we see her in on most promotional material is her school’s uniform, a long sleeved white uniform top with a red bow and sailor collar, a cream button up jacket over top, a black pleated skirt, matching thigh high black socks, and brown loafers. (I included two uniform sets if you want to mix and match)

In the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon, Queen Alicent Hightower (played by Olivia Cooke and Emily Carey) is the wife of King Viserys I, daughter of the Hand of the King Ser Otto Hightower, and mother to Aegon, Aemond, and Helaena. She is the figurehead of “Team Green” when it comes to competing claims to the throne. After a long day of parenting and diplomacy, Alicent has been known to kick off her shoes and put up her feet.

Diane Foxington (voiced by Zazie Beetz) is a supporting character in the animated feature film The Bad Guys.  Governor Foxington is a reformed thief, formerly known as the Crimson Paw, who pursued a life in politics to help make up for her past transgressions.  Though initially skeptical of the redemption of Mr. Wolf and his associates including Mr. Snake, she eventually becomes one of their staunchest supporters, as well as Mr. Wolf’s love interest.  Diane sports several outfits throughout the course of the film, but two of her best include the grey suit she wears as governor and the black bodysuit with a hood she dons as the Crimson Paw. The latter will work as a fully black ensemble, though you can add some of the yellow striping details with tape or paint if you prefer.  Whichever look you choose to recreate, you can layer a fox mask, tail, and/or gloves under your outfit to get as close to the original as possible.

Mr. Wolf (voiced by Sam Rockwell) is the main character of the DreamWorks animated film The Bad Guys.  Mr. Wolf is the leader of the Bad Guys gang, which includes Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, Ms. Tarantula, and Mr. Pirhana.  Throughout the course of the film, Mr. Wolf tries to reform himself and his crew so they no longer fall into the villain stereotypes their species fall into.  He also allies himself with Diane Foxington, the Governor of California and a reformed thief herself, all while trying to evade the ruthless Chief Luggins.  Mr. Wolf wears a white suit and shirt with a tan belt and shoes.  To achieve the full effect, you’ll also want a wolf mask, tail, and furry gloves.

Miki Kuroda (voiced in Japanese by Ami Koshimizu, and in English by Cherami Leigh), also known during the series as Miko to differentiate her from the other Miki, is one of the secondary main characters in the Netflix adaptation of Devilman Crybaby.

From childhood she was close with both Akira and the other Miki, and ran on the track team with them. Miki, along with Akira, transformed into a devilman, which drastically changed her physical appearance and personality.

In this new form, she has deep burgundy hair tied back in a high, braided ponytail, and her eyes are a light brown. For this outfit, Miki wears a sports bra type top with a black sporty bomber jacket over it, a pair of grey runners shorts with a white stripe up each side of the leg, and yellow runners shoes with a black top and a white band over the front.

Shizuku (voiced in Japanese by Miho Arakawa and in English by Janice Roman Roku) is part of the Phantom Troupe in the anime Hunter x Hunter.

She’s a rather scatterbrained person, sometimes just ignoring her past shortcomings because she just simply forgot what they were. Despite her airheadedness, she is deceptively strong, both in her own merit, and by using her vacuum weapon, Blinky, as a blunt force striker.

Shizuku has big brown eyes, short black hair that flips out at the ends, and wears large black framed glasses that sit low on her face. She wears a black turtleneck with a gold upside-down cross necklace (one of the Troupe’s symbols) and gold bracelets over top of the sleeves, and then just normal blue jeans, a grey belt, and chunky teal shoes.

Teru Minamoto (voiced in Japanese by Uchida Yūma, and in English by David Matranga) is one of the secondary main characters of the anime Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun, and the Student Council President at Kamome Academy, in their High School division.

Teru is the oldest of the three Minamoto siblings, the younger ones being Kou and Tiara, and to his knowledge, the strongest exorcist out of the three (that’s heavily debated once his sister shows immense strength in that field at age 5).

While his brother has readily befriended the ghosts that their family had been previously sworn to exorcise, Teru does not show any of this kindness, and is more than willing to brutally take down any spirits that cross his path.

He has a similar appearance to Kou, with slightly fluffier and blonder hair, but the same color blue eyes. His typical clothing we see him in is the Kamome uniform, but instead of a blue shirt like the others, he wears a long sleeved white one instead. Teru carries around an assortment of exorcist tools as well, such as assumedly prayer beads on a bracelet, and his sword, usually attached to his belt.

Mr. Moseby (Phil Lewis) is a main character in Disney Channel’s The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. He is the stern and uptight manager of the Tipton Hotel. He acts as a father figure towards London Tipton, the daughter of the hotel’s owner. Mr. Moseby probably doesn’t get paid enough to deal with Zack and Cody’s tomfoolery. His usual catchphrase is “Good luck with that.”

In the Game of Thrones prequel series House of the Dragon, Prince Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) is the second son of King Viserys I and his second wife, Queen Alicent Hightower. He’s a dragon rider and a fierce, disciplined swordsman, in sharp contrast to his lazy and gluttonous older brother Aegon. He lost his eye at the age of 10, when he got into a vicious fight with his similarly aged nephew Lucerys Velaryon.
