Aside from being the self-proclaimed God of Flashiness, his official title is the Sound Hashira. Tengen can vanish without a sound, but he can use sound to determine the rhythm of his enemies.

Their goal is to find his missing wives and battle what are rumored to be some of the strongest demons.

Cucumber (or Cuco) is the main protagonist of the webcomic Cucumber Quest and the older brother of Almond.  Cuco and his sister are anthropomorphic rabbits from Dreamside who set out on a quest to save the world from the Nightmare Knight.  Cuco has short ginger hair and rabbit ears, he wears an outfit consisting of a green sweater, pants, shoes, and backpack.  Finding an exact replica of Cuco’s sweater could prove difficult, but layering a darker sweater over a lighter green turtleneck can evoke a similar look.  Rather than wield a sword like his sister, Cuco prefers to use magic with the Disaster Stone Wand.

Lou (voiced by Nick Jonas) is the main antagonist of the animated film UglyDolls.  Lou is considered a perfect doll and is the arrogant and self-centered leader of the town of Perfection.  Lou wears a slick suit with an ascot and has blonde hair parted to one side.

Dolores (voiced by Adassa) is the quietest member of the miraculous Madrigal family. She can hear anything and everything, even the secrets whispering behind the walls of the casita. Those secrets are hard to keep, though. Especially when they put her family in danger.

Dolores may be soft spoken but her style says volumes. And it makes for a great cosplay. A red hairband with a bow keeps her hair up. Her only accents are a simple red beaded necklace and small gold hoop earrings. A ruffled white top edged in yellow corresponds with her full red skirt, also accented with a yellow band. Full red skirts are easy enough to find, but you will have to glue the yellow ribbon on with fabric flue. After that, finish off the look with matching red flats and you’re ready for your own musical number.

Jonah Vasquez was born to a migrant farmer in Fresno, California who eventually earned enough to send Jonah to a good school. From there, Jonah discovered his gift for mathematics, which eventually led to a job code-breaking with the CIA. He worked hard, balancing his job with his personal morals. But his code-breaking eventually led him down a path that ended with him being taken into the realm of the Entity.

Being a mathematician, Jonah was less used to field work, and his wardrobe reflects that. His shirt can have the white painted on or be substituted for a purple and white hawaiian shirt to accent his laidback position.

Agustín Madrigal (voiced by Wilmer Valderrama) is the husband of Julieta in the Disney animated film Encanto.  Agustín does not have any magical powers of his own and is very accident-prone, which is how he met his wife.  Agustín wears a blue pinstripe vest and pants with a blue tie.  He wears mismatched socks (one with dumbbells to represent his daughter Luisa and one with embroidery from his daughter Mirabel), as well as a purple flower to represent his daughter Isabela.  Since it would be fairly difficult to find his custom socks, don’t be afraid to find ones that evoke a similar feel and mix and match to your heart’s content.
