Michizo Tachihara from Bungo Stray Dogs
Tachihara (voiced in Japanese by Yū Hayashi and in English by both Ben Diskin [S1-3] and A.J. Beckles [S4-5]) is a major character in the latter half of the Bungo Stray Dogs anime/manga.
We see him for the majority of the series as part of the Port Mafia, but it is revealed later on to be the final member of the government’s Hunting Dogs group, though he continues acting as a double agent, as he’s grown close with the other mafia members. His ability gives him the powers to manipulate metals, regardless of the size of the object.
Tachihara has light orangey-brown eyes, and dark reddish orange hair, worn short and shaggy. While in the Port Mafia, he wears a bandage across his nose, but it’s removed when the Hunting Dogs association is revealed. He does keep his earrings throughout, however. He does wear the standard HD uniform after the reveal, which consists of a red uniform jacket with matching pants and hat, a slightly darker red cloak, black military boots, and white gloves.
Human Artemis from Sailor Moon
Artemis (voiced in Japanese by Yasuhiro Takato and in English by Ron Rubin and Johnny Yong Bosch) is one of the secondary main characters in the Sailor Moon anime/manga.
He is usually seen in his cat form, but when needed, he, as well as his partner Luna and their daughter Diana, are transformed into their human bodies. He is the advisor and guardian of Sailor Venus, and accompanies her much in the same way as Luna does for Sailor Moon.
In his human form, he has very long white hair with raised bangs, with a visible golden moon on his forehead between them. His eyes are a muted olive-ish green. The outfit for this form is entirely white, minus the gold moon necklace he wears just under his collarbones. He wears a white long sleeved shirt with decorative straps along the arms and waist, and cutouts of a moon and a circle, on his upper chest and right around his belly button, respectively. His pants are a pair of white slacks, and he wears slightly heeled white shoes.
Teruko Ōkura from Bungo Stray Dogs
Teruko (voiced in Japanese by Makoto Koichi and in English by Cherami Leigh) is a minor antagonist in the Sky Casino portion of the Bungo Stray Dogs series.
She is the vice captain of the Hunting Dogs, and her ability allows her to shift her form between different ages, as well as those she uses it on, which she uses for psychological manipulation and torture. Physically she appears as a younger girl, but her exact age is unknown, and presumably much older (similar to Bisky in Hunter x Hunter).
Teruko has purpley-pink eyes, and pinkish-red hair, which she wears tied off into a side ponytail with a purple ribbon and pink jewel hair tie. She is most often seen wearing the Hunting Dogs uniform, when she’s not in a disguise, which is (in the anime) a red uniform jacket and pants, a matching hat, a slightly darker red cloak, black army boots, white gloves, and a sword in a belt holster.
Human Diana from Sailor Moon
Diana (voiced in Japanese by Kumiko Nishihara and in English by Naomi Emmerson, Loretta Jafelice, and Debi Derryberry) is one of the secondary main characters in the Sailor Moon anime/manga.
She is the daughter of Luna and Artemis, and like them is usually seen in cat form. While her parents are connected to Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus respectively, she is the assigned advisor for Sailor Chibi Moon.
While in her human form, she has light grey hair, worn up in four small buns at the top of her head, magenta eyes, and a small gold moon in the center of her forehead. She wears small gold stud earrings, a white collar with a golden bell on it, and she has a small grey tail protruding from her back. The rest of her outfit consists of a low cut grey dress with long sleeves and ribbon decorating around the midsection, skirt, and sleeves, with gold ball details, and a white petticoat. It’s finished off with a pair of grey thigh-high stockings with the same dark grey detailing as the dress, dark grey pumps, and little white pompoms around her ankles.
Azami Kurotami from Uzumaki
Azami Kurotami is a character in the horror manga novel by Junji Ito. She is a student and resident of Kurozu-Cho, the town cursed by spirals. She is friends with Kirie and has an obsessive crush on Shuichi. Her beauty captivates boys, as well as the scar on her forehead. Eventually the scar develops into a spiral that overtakes her face and eats her whole. Use black eyeliner to draw a spiral on your forehead or around your eye. This outfit takes inspiration from the manga, 2024 anime, and character figurines.
Sailor Aluminum Siren from Sailor Moon
In Sailor Moon, Sailor Aluminum Siren is one of the four Sailor Animamates, alongside Sailor Iron Mouse, Sailor Lead Crow, and Sailor Tin Nyanko. She disguises as the civilian Reiko Aya to steal Star Seeds, but eventually reveals her true identity. Her white fin-like ears and flowy blue hair hint at her origins on planet Mermaid.
Naomi Misora from Death Note
Naomi (voiced in Japanese by Naoko Matsui and in English by Tabitha St. Germain) is a major character in the early parts of the Death Note franchise, including being one of the main characters in the LA BB Murder Cases novel.
After Kira kills her fiance, an FBI agent named Raye, she takes matters into her own hands to solve what happened, as she was also formerly an agent, tasked to the LABB case with L. Light takes advantage of her grief, which ultimately leads to her downfall.
Naomi has long black hair, with bangs worn partially in her face, and her eye color differs between the manga and the anime, with the former being more of a hazel, and the latter a greyish-blue. In the anime we see her wearing a black turtleneck shirt, with a black biker jacket over top, very dark blue jeans, and simple knee-high black boots, with matching gloves.
Sailor Lead Crow from Sailor Moon
In Sailor Moon, Sailor Lead Crow is one of the Sailor Animamates. On her forehead is a gold star with a small black feather running through it. She also wears black feather wings on her shoulders and black wing-like panels attached to her bikini. Like a crow, she likes shiny objects.
Sailor Iron Mouse from Sailor Moon
In Sailor Moon, Sailor Iron Mouse is one of the Sailor Animamates. She has mouse ears and a thin curly tail, and dresses in a white fur-lined costume. She can fire blasts from her gold bracelets. Naturally, Sailor Iron Mouse has a phobia of cats.
Kirie Goshima from Uzumaki
Kirie Goshima is the protagonist/narrator of Uzumaki, the horror manga novel by Junji Ito. She is a student and resident of Kurozu-Cho, the town cursed by spirals. Kirie is a recurring target of the spirals, such as when her hair curls into spirals. Her friend and eventual boyfriend, Shuichi Saito, often rescues Kirie from these attacks. In the end, the two find the City of Spirals underneath the town, and they become intertwined together forever. Uzumaki received a 2024 anime adaptation on Adult Swim, now streaming on Hulu. This costume guide follows her winter school uniform.
