Reki (voiced in Japanese by Tasuku Hatanaka and in English by Matt Shipman) is one of the main characters in the anime Sk8 the Infinity.

While already a highly invested skateboarder, Reki drags the new kid (and soon to be best friend) at his school (Langa) to S skating meets, and even helps him to learn how to transfer his snowboarding skills into being a skateboarder. Reki is also very creative, and likes to design art pieces and build homemade skateboards, which eventually leads to Langa having a custom built one from him.

Reki has floppy spiky red hair worn with a blue wide headband, and has amber-orange eyes. He dresses pretty street casual for the most part, with a yellow hoodie with a design matching his board, a red wristband, black pants, and blue shoes with yellow detailing. He sometimes will also wear a black jacket over top of the hoodie, and red and black gloves, when skating.

Suga is a member of the popular K-Pop band BTS. He raps in the third verse of the song, and it’s smooth like butter. This is his outfit in the music video for their song, “Butter” (Cooler Remix). All the members wear athleisure, such as tracksuits and oversized t-shirts, and accessorize with necklaces. Order a size or two up in the t-shirt so it’s baggy.

Brawler (voiced in Japanese by Shunsuke Takeuchi and in English by Zeno Robinson) is one of the main characters in the anime Akudama Drive.

He is very excited about seeking out strong opponents and causes a large amount of chaos and destruction in the quest to find them. During the course of the series he ends up becoming close with Hoodlum, and gets really excited hyping up how impressive he makes himself sound (despite it being a massive lie).

Brawler has deep red dreads and golden brown eyes, with metal bead detailing in his hair and pointed eyeliner on his eyes. He wears a set of necklaces in tandem with the detonation necklace, but aside from his hair beads that’s the only accessories he has. He wears a green motorcycle jacket with an orange under layer, and a pair of blue jeans with black chaps over them. The final part of his outfit is a pair of black boots.

Rayman is the titular protagonist of Rayman, a side scrolling platform game. Made by Ubi Soft, the first installment was released in 1995 for the Atari Jaguar, Sega Saturn, & Sony Playstation. As Rayman, players must travel through six worlds to free all the caged Electoons. Only then will Rayman confront his enemy, Mr. Dark. This guide includes both a DIY or a simpler way by purchasing a pre-designed cosplay hoodie.

Lionel Toussaint (played by Leslie Odom, Jr.) is a high-ranking employee of Miles Bron‘s successful company in the film Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.  Lionel has reservations about Miles’ latest green energy initiative, which he shares with Claire Debella.  On the trek to Miles’ private island, Lionel wears brightly colored paints and a muted tunic with wooden beads.  For dinner, he wears a snazzy green suit with a wishbone brooch and black hat.

Kaname Hagiri (voiced by Eiji Sekiguchi and Aaron Hatch) is an antagonist from the Yu Yu Hakusho anime series.  Called “Sniper,” Kaname is a former member of the Sensui Seven who often uses small dice as a weapon.  Kaname has black hair and is most often shown wearing a baggy t-shirt and grey jeans under a red leather jacket.  If a leather motorcycle jacket is out of your budget, consider using a cheaper bomber jacket in its place.  Finish the look with fingerless gloves and a set of microdice to wield against your enemies.

J-Hope is a member of the popular K-Pop band BTS. This is his outfit in the music video for their song, “Butter” (Cooler Remix). All the members wear athleisure, such as tracksuits and oversized t-shirts, and accessorize with necklaces. J-Hope wears a color palette of greens and yellows. For more accuracy, use a green fabric marker under the brim of the bucket hat and affix a similar patch.

Ayame (voiced in Japanese by Takahiro Sakurai and in English by Christopher R. Sabat) is one of the members of the Sohma family in the anime/manga Fruits Basket).

He is part of the older group of the zodiac members and the older brother of Yuki Sohma. Ayame is the Snake in the zodiac, and one of his main passions is the costume and dresses shop that he runs with Mine Kuramae.

Ayame has gold eyes and very long white hair with bangs. Due to the nature of his shop, he has a wide variety of outfits, so I decided to just pick one. It consists of two layers, a long white one and a matched length red one with gold fastenings up the entire front. With this one, in the shots I could find, he was wearing slippers with the rest of them, so I included a pair of shoes similar to ones he wears with another red outfit.
