Carbon Costume

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.

Duncan Idaho (played by Jason Momoa) is a swordmaster in the service of House Atreides.  In Dune, Duncan helps train Paul Atreides before his death.  In the 2021 film, Duncan has long wavy hair and a muscular build.  He often wears a stillsuit after moving to Arrakis in the service of Duke Leto.  To make your own stillsuit, you may need to get a little creative, as padded pieces that look the part are often the wrong color.  Don’t be afraid to experiment with a little spray paint to get the look you want.  Duncan also wears more casual clothing when training Paul, and any costume will be enhanced with a short, straight sword to help look the part.

Haru (voiced in Japanese by Makoto Furukawa and in English by Justin Cook) is one of the members of the Sohma family in the anime/manga Fruits Basket).

He is the Ox in the zodiac, and has two sides to his personality, a dark and light mode, essentially. One is a lot more calm, and the other is ready to fight at any moment. Out of the rest of the zodiacs, he cares the most about Rin and Yuki, to varying degrees of love for each.

Haru has split toned hair, naturally occurring, with the under layer being black and the top a shaggy white, and his eyes are a soft golden-brown, almost orange, color. We see this outfit when he’s out biking, it’s a bit more covered than some of his others. It consists of his usual piercings, a metal feather necklace, a black turtleneck, black pants, black biking boots, thigh straps, a greyish belt, and an off-white coat with a black fluff collar (I could only find white collared ones, but I included links so you can mod it how you like).

Rei (voiced in Japanese by Koki Uchiyama and in English by David Matranga) is one of the main characters in the anime Buddy Daddies.

He works as an assassin with his partner Kazuki, but spends most of the rest of his time playing video games and learning how to look after their recently acquired daughter, Miri.

Rei has shaggy black hair, usually worn in a high ponytail with shaved sides when he’s on a job and down when he’s home, and his eyes are a deep almost black grey. He dresses in a less layered way than Kazuki, with a black t-shirt, a blue biker jacket, black-blue jeans, and black boots.

Dabi (voiced by Hiro Shimono and Jason Liebrecht) is a member of the League of Villains in the anime and manga series My Hero Academia.  Dabi’s Quirk allows him to wield blue flames.  His intense dislike for Pro Heroes and tendency toward destruction make him a powerful foe.  There are plenty of Dabi costume sets available for purchase if you’re looking for an easy way to recreate his look.  Depending on which point in the story you prefer, you may need to add either a white or black wig and boots.  You can also DIY his costume with a black frock coat, scoop neck t-shirt, black pants, and a silver belt.  For the burnt remnants of his skin, use purple body paint to cover large portions of your face, neck, and arms.  Then use a black body crayon to create the illusion of folds and wrinkles.  Lastly, use a small brush and metallic silver body paint to add the staples.

R.M. Renfield (played by Nicholas Hoult) is the displeased associate of Count Dracula in the horror comedy Renfield.  Doomed to a life of servitude to the undead Count, Renfield has had enough and seeks to leave the vampire’s service.  Renfield wears a number of outfits throughout the film, including a dark green suit and a snazzy mauve sweater that eventually ends up spattered in blood.  Unfortunately, the vintage Ralph Lauren colorblock sweater he wears to his support group will set you back a couple of hundred dollars secondhand, so don’t be afraid to find a similar multicolored piece in muted tones.

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.

It’s a party in the…CIA? Weird Al parodies “Party in the USA” by Miley Cyrus in this music video. His animated counterpart dons a black suit with a red tie, watch, and sunglasses. Currently, the song has 16 million streams on Spotify and the official music video has 38 million views on Youtube.

Shiki Tademaru (voiced in Japanese by Natsuki Hanae and in English by A.J. Beckles) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.

He is one of the employees of the supernatural agency that Inugami runs, and is also half-human, like Kabane. Shiki is part spider Kemono and has the ability to use spiderwebs.

He has short spikey greyish pink hair, pinkish-purple eyes, and his outfit is mildly spider themed to go with his powers. Shiki wears a grey t-shirt underneath his jacket, which is a muted magenta color decorated with a spider web, with black and white detailing along the sleeves and hems, grey pants, and black shoes with magenta soles.

Diane Foxington (voiced by Zazie Beetz) is the Governor of California in the animated feature film The Bad Guys.  While Governor Foxington typically dons a suit while at work, there are a few occasions in the film when she gets to dress up, including when she attends the Goodness Gala where she dances with Mr. Wolf.  At the Gala, Governor Foxington wears a blue pantsuit/skirt combination, silver heels, and glittering jewelry.  When recreating the look, you can decide whether you’d like to also wear an orange bodysuit underneath to emulate her orange fox fur.  Likewise, you may decide just a headband with ears is enough to get your vulpine intentions across.  Otherwise, a mask for your face can be used instead.
