Kabane Kusaka (voiced in Japanese by Natsumi Fujiwara and in English by Madeleine Morris) is the main character of the anime/manga Kemono Jihen.

He starts off the series completely isolated from people that aren’t his abusive aunt and cousin until he’s rescued by Inugami and taken to join his supernatural agency, where he meets Akira and Shiki. Kabane is half-human and is using the aid of the agency to try and find his parents.

Kabane has short, messy spiked black hair and big red eyes with very light and large eyebrows over top. The outfit that he wears is a reluctant hand-me-down from Shiki because he needed new clothes. It’s a two piece black and red shirt and jacket set with white skeleton detailing on the top half, and he wears black and white sneakers with red gloves finishing off the look.

This is a follow-up article to the previous Doll one I did, but this one will be covering her performance outfit. If you would like to read up on how to make her Freckles look, it’s linked here!

I included the wig and scar makeup used in the prior tutorial, but you can’t see them past the headpiece usually, so that’s optional if you want to use them or not. This outfit is a lot more showy than her civilian outfit, mostly capitalizing on a rose motif. The dress is puffed up with a white rose petticoat trim, the headdress is comprised of white roses, and the rest of her accessories also mirror that theme. She emulates almost a ballet dancer stylized doll, while doing her tightrope balancing act.

For the parasol you may need to paint the handle if you want it to be completely accurate, and for the tights I was unable to find a pair split exactly in that style, so I included two pairs of long socks, please just use one from each to have the same effect.

Ichiyō Higuchi (voiced in Japanese by Asami Seto and in English by Carrie Keranen) is from the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

She is a part of the Port Mafia, with her usual duties being Akutagawa‘s bodyguard and aid. While tending to get stressed out due to the strenuous nature of her job, Higuchi is also a dual-wielding sharp-shooter and rather good at holding her own in combat.

Higuchi has golden blonde hair that’s usually tied up in a bun with loose bangs and side pieces, and her eyes are reddish-brown. She wears a semi-formal outfit to aid in movement while working, including a white button up-shirt, a pair of black slacks with a matching suit jacket, sheer socks, and black loafers, with a pair of sunglasses.

Phinks Magcub (voiced in Japanese by Kenichirō Ōhashi and in English by David Vincent) is part of the Phantom Troupe in the anime/manga HunterxHunter.

He’s one of the strongest members of the troupe, with a nen ability centered around extremely strong punch throwing. Phinks is one of the original founding members of the troupe, having known Chrollo since they were kids.

He has dirty blonde hair, often worn pulled back tightly, and speck-like eyes. While he does have another outfit that he’s seen wearing, the one we mostly see him in is this tracksuit-like one. A matching emerald green tracksuit with white and red detailing, and grey-blue detailed sneakers to top it all off.

Wendy (voiced in Japanese by Mayumi Shintani and in English by Rachel Robinson) is one of the secondary main characters in the Book of Circus arc in the anime/manga Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler.

She is one of the first-string members of Noah’s Ark Circus, and works in tandem with Peter in a trapeze artist act. While she looks like a young child, we do not know her actual age, as she is severely stunted in growth and has looked like this for a very long time. She tends to be more soft-spoken and acts in a way that indicates her true age.

Wendy has mid-tone long brown hair, tied up in two large buns almost to the side of her head, and has deep brown eyes highlighted by long false eyelashes and three magenta diamonds under her eye. She wears a child-like pink dress, accented with a large amount of ruffles and stripes, a crown headpiece, black heel-less tights with a pompom on the end, and ribbons on her arms.

Kenji Miyazawa (voiced in Japanese by Hiroyuki Kagura and in English by Lucien Dodge) is a character from the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

He is one of the main members of the Armed Detective Agency, which he joined after coming from a small countryside village. His ability is called ‘Undefeated by the Rain’ and it enables him to use absolutely alarming superhuman strength, but only when he’s got an empty stomach.

Kenji has golden blonde hair, worn in a fluffy cut, down to his chin in the front and longer down his neck in the back. His eyes are a similar golden color, and he’s got a smattering of freckles across his face. He typically wears a black 3/4 sleeve shirt, a cream colored tattered tunic shirt on top, with a pair of rolled up blue overalls topping it off. He also often wears a light brown straw hat, and when he does wear shoes, they’re a pair of tan flipflops.

Peter (voiced in Japanese by Yūki Tai and in English by Vic Mignogna) is one of the secondary main characters in the Book of Circus arc in the anime/manga Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler.

He is one of the first-string members in Noah’s Arc Circus and does the flying trapeze act with Wendy. Like Wendy, he looks extremely young, but is very stunted in his growth and is much older than he appears. Unlike Wendy, he very much does not act his supposed age, and is prone to being irritable and rude, even violent at times. Wendy and Jumbo appear to be two of the people he cares the most about, being almost inseparable from Wendy and treating Jumbo with respect.

He has short, overly-fluffy blonde hair topped with a small green off-center hat, and he has light blue eyes, accented by green diamonds on the opposite side of Wendy’s pink ones. His circus outfit consists of a double-ruffled high white collar, a puff sleeve white button up short-sleeved shirt, a lime green vest, dark green puff bloomer-style shorts with yellow star detailing on them, and open toe white tights.

Illumi Zoldyck (voiced in Japanese by Masaya Matsukaze and in English by Chris Hackney) is one of the main antagonists in the anime/manga HunterxHunter.

He is the oldest of the Zoldyck siblings and is one of the more threatening ones purely from action. Illumi specializes in appearance-shifting and controlling people’s actions through the pins that he wears imbedded into his shirt.

As with most of his siblings, Illumi has black hair, worn very long and slicked back (sometimes down slightly on the sides), and his eyes are very overwhelmingly full, and pure black. He has a few different outfit through the series, but this one is one of the main ones we usually see. It’s a multi-toned green and yellow shirt and pants set, with off-yellow socks, and shoes that match the color of the pants. His typical weapons, the pins, are imbedded all over the top and shoes for usage.
