Carbon Costume

Miri (voiced in Japanese by Hina Kino and in English by Emi Lo) is one of the main characters in the anime Buddy Daddies.

Kazuki and Rei had a mission where the mark was Miri’s biological father, and in a turn of events where things went horribly awry, she ended up being taken in by the two of them, and is now being raised as their daughter.

Miri has short light brown hair worn in a bobcut, with asymmetrical bangs, held partially by a small flower hair clip. She has a large amount of outfits, but the main one we see her in is an orange turtleneck, tan shorts worn over black leggings, pink boots with a fluff trim, and a matching puffy coat.

Kiki (Yvette Gonzales-Nacer) is a character in the Nickelodeon series, The Fresh Beat Band. She plays guitar, and on occasion, violin, for the  titular band. Bubbly and courageous, Kiki loves to dance. Her catchphrase is “Kickin!” which can be an allusion to her name. As seen with her outfit, her favorite color is pink.

Patricia “Patty” Thompson (voiced by Narumi Takihira in Japanese and Cherami Leigh in English) is the younger sister of Liz Thompson and the weapon partner of Death the Kid in the anime and manga series Soul Eater.  Patty is shorter than her elder sister, with brighter blonde hair which she wears in a bob haircut with bangs.  Her outfit is similar to her sister’s, though a bit more revealing, swapping out Liz’s long jeans for a pair of shorts instead.

Kouyou (voiced in Japanese by Ami Koshimizu and in English by Cindy Robinson) is one of the antagonists in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

She is one of the Port Mafia executives and has a similar type of ability to Kyouka, who she had under her control for a long time. Chuuya treats her like an older sister.

Kouyou has red hair tied up in an elegant traditional bun and eyes in a matching color, with makeup to compliment. She wears two floral detailed layered kimonos, with brown boots, and several hair pins and accessories in her hair.

Ashley Mizuki Robbins is the main character of the Another Code video game series, in both Another Code: Two Memories (Trace Memory) and Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories.

There won’t be a large feature of character backstory for this article, as I’ve only played the first one and the sequel is available on consoles not available in my region. Will update later once I’m able to acquire a copy!

Going on to the actual cosplay though:
Ashley has short white hair, and her eyes are a bit of a difficult color to pin down due to the sprite work, but I put in a dark grey that should work.
She wears a red-orange baseball style crop t-shirt with graphic detailing on the front, dark grey low-rise jeans with a white belt, black wristbands on each arm, and black sneakers with white detailing and laces.

Akane (voiced in Japanese by Miyuki Sawashiro and in English by Rena Strober [though she has a few VA changes throughout various ports]) is one of the main characters in 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors in the Zero Escape video game series.

She has heavy involvement in the core plot of the game, as well as later parts of the series, along with her brother, Aoi. Akane is also the childhood friend of the main character in 999, Junpei.

Akane has long brown, side parted hair worn up in a partial bun with white hair pins/clips, and grey-blue eyes. She wears a light indigo t-shirt dress with loose sleeves, detailed with designs around the hems, long black sleeves underneath with stripes at the ends and matching socks. Her only main accessory (aside from the nonary game watch) is a black infinity scarf, and she wears loose brown boots to finish off the look.

Marina (Shayna Rose) is a character in the Nickelodeon series, The Fresh Beat Band. She is the drummer for the titular band. She loves cracking jokes and thinking of new ideas for the group. Her catchphrases are “Hip hop and pop” and “That would be cool.” As seen with her outfit, her favorite colors are teal and pink. Get a pair of drumsticks to complete the look.

Belle Bottom (voiced by Taraji P. Henson) is the disco-themed supervillain in Minions: Rise of Gru.  Belle is a member of the Vicious 6, which a young Gru desperately wishes to be part of.  However, she dashes his dreams when she tells him that villainy is for adults and not children, which leads him to steal the Zodiac Stone from her.  Belle’s costume is a throwback to the ’70s, with a purple jumpsuit and platform shoes, a big afro hairstyle, and gold jewelry.  Finding her long purple leopard print coat with bright pink trim is almost impossible, so don’t be afraid to find a robe or coat that evokes a similar feel even if it isn’t a perfect match.
