Men

Doug Whitmore from 50 First Dates

In 50 First Dates, Doug Whitmore (Sean Astin) is Lucy Whitmore’s older brother and an ever-flexing, steroid-abusing bodybuilder. You’ll always find him decked out in muscle shirts, workout pants, weight-lifting belts, and fingerless gloves. Inspired by his fashion, professional NFL football player Jason Kelce arrived for a recent Eagles game in the same get-up.

El Tigre from El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera

El Tigre (voiced by Alanna Ubach) is the super alter ego of Manny Rivera on the Nickelodeon animated series El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera.  Manny’s transformation into El Tigre includes some pretty stark changes, including the addition of a tiger tail, ears, and sharpened claws.  To dress as El Tigre, you can layer boots, a belt, and a red bandana over a black bodysuit.  For some extra authenticity, you can also use scar wax to add the scar Manny has over his left eye.

Zack from Carmen Sandiego

Zack (voiced by Michael Hawley) is part of Carmen’s main team in the 2019 Netflix adaptation of Carmen Sandiego.

He’s part of the team with his sister Ivy, and tends to be a bit less attentive when it comes to missions as he’s a bit distracted, but when it really comes to it he tries his best to actually contribute. Zack is very good at bluffing his way out of bad situations, which he tends to end up in very often, usually of his own making.

Like Ivy, he has reddish orange hair and greenish-blue eyes, with prominent freckles on his face. He wears a long sleeve shirt with a red and white jersey-type t-shirt over top, casual blue jeans, black socks, and black high-top converse shoes.

Hacker from Akudama Drive

Hacker, or The Hacker, (voiced in Japanese by Shun Horie and in English by Y. Chang) is part of the main cast of the anime Akudama Drive, and one of the group of criminals or ‘Akudama’ that are key to the story.

None of the characters have much of an explained backstory, or a known name, so he simply just goes by Hacker. He’s true to his name in that aspect, as he takes great joy in interesting technological struggles that he’s able to force past, and gets bored easily when he can’t find something that interests him.

He has very messy blondish brown hair and one visible blue eye, while the other is covered by a glowing eyepatch. The outfit he wears is almost entirely body covering, with a long greyish white turtleneck shirt and a tailcoated blue jacket that he wears nearly open over it. His hair is partially covered by a hat that glows like his eyepatch and is the same color as his coat. Hacker also has a pair of black pants with a blue end piece covering them, and odd looking almost spat-like blue and black boots.

Wrath from Fullmetal Alchemist

Wrath (voiced in Japanese by Nana Mizuki and in English by Luci Christian) is a variation of the character that is exclusive to the 2003 adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist, and is not found in the manga or in Brotherhood.

He is a being that came to be after Izumi Curtis tried to use alchemy to revive her baby, much in the same way the Elric brothers did, and it went just about as well. As a part of the group of Homunculi, he’s well suited to his name, becoming more and more like the title after consuming the stones.

Wrath has long, shaggy, blackish-brown hair and slitted violet eyes. He wears a similar outfit to Envy’s in style, once fully becoming a homunculus. It’s formed of a black crop turtleneck with a short, partial sleeve crop top over it, small matching shorts, and one foot cover/wrist cover respectively. There are red circular markings that start at mid-thigh and continue up past the bottom of the shirt, much like the ones the others have.

Ephemer from Kingdom Hearts χ

Ephemer/a (voiced in Japanese by Yūto Uemura and in English by Michael Johnston) is one of the characters that we first meet in Kingdom Hearts χ/Kingdom Hearts Unchained χ.

Like everything in Kingdom Hearts, there are many varied layers to his character and the story surrounding him, but we mostly see him in context with the Foretellers and Dandelions, such as the Player character, and Ventus.

Ephemer has short grey hair with a light curl to it (the wig I linked is actually the one I personally used for my cosplay for him!), and bluey-teal eyes. Like his backstory, his outfit is also layered.

He wears a simple short-sleeved button up white shirt with a short-sleeved black bolero jacket over top, finished off with a tasseled and detailed red scarf. Around his waist he wears a tan colored belted satchel, brown baggy cargo pants, and rounds it all off with flared wrist black gloves and matching high black boots.

scott shelby from heavy rain

Scott Shelby from Heavy Rain

Scott Shelby (voiced by Sam Douglas) is one of the four playable characters in Heavy Rain alongside Ethan Mars, Norman Jayden, and Madison Paige.  A private investigator, Scott has a tragic past that has a vast impact on the overall story.  Scott first reaches out to Lauren Winters as part of his investigation into the Origami Killer after being hired by families of the serial murderer’s victims.  Scott is a retired police officer and former Marine, and his style is closely associated with traditional P.I.-attire.  He generally wears loose-fitting dress shirts and ties, but his most memorable piece of clothing is his long tan trench coat.

aki-chainsawman-costume

Aki from Chainsaw Man

Aki Hayakawa is a character in the best selling-manga (and now anime series) Chainsaw Man. The series takes place in a world where devils are born from fears. Aki works for Makima as a public safety devil hunter. However, he takes his responsibilities more seriously than Denji. While he comes off as stoic, he deeply cares for his peers. He has a contract with the Fox Devil and Curse Devil which allows him to summon their abilities. His later contract with the Future Devil gives him a glimpse into a horrible future, which results in a fatal fight.

Poko

Poko is the titular character of a children’s stop-motion television series. He is a little boy who likes to play in his bedroom or in the backyard with his pet dog and toy monkey. Poko can draw objects in the air with his finger, and magically, they become real! When Poko gets cranky or upset, an unseen narrator helps cheer him up.

wild woody from wild woody

Wild Woody

Wild Woody is the titular character of 1995 Sega video game.  Wild Woody must gather the scattered pieces of a totem pole by erasing enemies and creating sketches to help him in his quest.  To recreate this wacky pencil, you have two choices.  While pencil costumes do exist, few of them are oriented in the same way as Woody.  Still, you could get close by layering one over a black bodysuit and adding gloves and yellow sneakers.  If you’re up for something a little more impressionistic, you can layer a yellow sleeveless shirt and pink shorts over a bodysuit and then add a cone-shaped cap.  Give your pencil a nice sharp-looking tip by using a black fabric marker.  You can even add a silver belt to stand in as your eraser holder.
