Sosuke (voiced in Japanese by Yoshimasa Hosoya and in English by Ian Sinclair) is one of the secondary main characters of the anime series Free!

He was part of the swim club at Samezuka academy, transferring in because of Rin, until his shoulder injury got so bad that he was unable to swim anymore. He has since graduated and recovered after surgery, and is now part of the Japanese National Swim Team.

Sosuke has short, spiky black hair, and teal-ish eyes. Like his teammates on the Samezuka swim team, he also has the same school sports jacket, which he wears with a black t-shirt underneath, and black pants. The shoes may not be the exact ones for that specific outfit, but they are close to a pair he wears, should you choose to use those ones.

Mario (voiced by Charles Martinet) is the lovable plumber at the heart of Nintendo’s sprawling Super Mario Bros. franchise.  In Super Mario Odyssey, Mario temporarily trades in his signature overalls for a dashing wedding outfit as he fights Bowser for Princess Peach‘s approval.  His quest also brings him to New Donk City where Pauline resides as Mayor.  Mario’s wedding outfit includes a classic white three-piece tuxedo with white shoes, white gloves, and a red bow tie.  H also dons a white top hat with his signature M insignia on the side.  You can recreate his hat with a patch and some safety pins.  If you want to get a little closer to his appearance in the game, consider purchasing a separate waistcoat with gold buttons to replace the plain white vest that comes with your suit.

Emporio is a character in part six of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. He is a young boy who wears baseball uniform. Emporio sympathizes with Jolyne and the two become close allies in taking down Pucci. His Stand is called Burning Down the House, which is invisible – as it consists of a music room hidden in Green Dolphin Street Prison.

Aiichiro (voiced in Japanese by Kouki Miyata and in English by Josh Grelle) is a secondary character in the anime series Free!

He also attended Samezuka Academy and was one of the captains of the swim club during his schooling, before graduating and attending Shimogami University. While at Samezuka, he was Rin’s roommate, and considers him a close friend, cheering him on despite the other’s gruffness.

Aiichiro has short medium grey hair with choppy bangs, soft blue eyes, and a mole under his eye. Like the rest of the students in Samezuka’s swim club, he has the same jacket as the rest of them, as well as matching shorts. When we see his shoes briefly, they’re a grey-blue blended pair of sneakers.

Cooper (voiced by Steve Malpass) is the main character of the Grabbed by the Ghoulies video game.  The premise of the game is that Cooper must save his girlfriend Amber from Ghoulhaven Hall, a mansion plagued by a plethora of supernatural creatures.  Cooper is a teenage boy with light blonde, spiky hair.  He wears tan shoes, light blue jeans, and a bright green sweater with a contrasting stripe around his midsection and collar.  To recreate his look, you can go for an easier green and purple striped top, but if you’re up for a little DIY you can get a better match by taking a green sweater and adding your own details with some fabric paint.  Top off the look with jeans, boots, and a spiky wig.

Mickey Milkovich (Noel Fisher) is a character in the Showtime comedy drama Shameless. The Milkovich family are neighbors of the Gallagher family. Mickey is their oldest child and becomes Ian’s main love interest. Sadly Mickey becomes estranged from his family because they do not accept his sexuality. In contrast to Ian’s goofy personality, Mickey is serious – in addition to being violent and erratic, which causes rifts between them. His bad boy style includes tank tops and shirts with the sleeves cut off.

Mugen (voiced by Kazuya Nakai and Steve Blum) is one of the three main characters from Samurai Champloo.  Cantankerous, violent, and unpredictable, Mugen joins forces with Jin to help Fuu find the sunflower samurai.  Mugen has dark messy hair and wears grey hakama cut short, a white shirt that laces in the front, and a red yukata-style jacket.  He also wears geta sandals and wields a double-edged tsurugi sword, which you can purchase a replica of.  Lastly, Mugen has blue banded tattoos around his wrists and ankles, which you can recreate with body paint.

Tweek Tweak (voiced by Matt Stone) is a fourth grader at South Park Elementary in the animated series South Park.  Tweek drinks too much caffeine and originally appears in season two working on a class project with Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Eric.  He is in a relationship with Craig Tucker.  Tweek has spiky blonde hair and wears blue jeans and black shoes.  His top is an olive green shirt which is improperly buttoned, so be sure to be as wonky as possible with the fastenings when you don yours as part of your costume.
