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.

Rebecca (voiced by Alex Cazares in English) is a character from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.  Rebecca is a petite and sharp-tongued mercenary with a soft spot for David.  Rebecca has white skin adorned with pink tattoos.  Her clothing is minimal, including a black bra and underwear as well as an oversized jacket with matching boots and headband.  Plenty of cosplay sets exist for Rebecca, though you can also go the more interpretive route by wearing a black bikini with high tops and a bomber jacket.  Either way, you’ll want a mint-colored wig as well as pink body paint and a steady hand to recreate Rebecca’s body art and complete your look.

Akutagawa (voiced in Japanese by Kenshō Ono and in English by Brian Beacock) is one of the semi-antagonists turned reluctant part time good guy in the anime/manga Bungo Stray Dogs.

Raised to fend for himself and his sister Gin on the streets, Akutagawa grew up with a great distrust for people, but also the need to be seen as worthwhile in the eyes of people he looked to for advice. The downside is this person was Dazai, so it left him with a rather large complex for constant approval after a while.

While mainly a part of the Port Mafia, through Dazai’s connections and in response to a larger growing threat concerning both them and the Armed Detective Agency, Akutagawa has been assigned to work with Atsushi under the title of Shin Soukoku (New Double Black). Neither of them are very happy with this, but they’re figuring it out.

Much like Atsushi, Akutagawa has rough, choppy hair, though his is pure black with white tips at the ends of the front bits. His eyes are a cool grey.

The outfit that he has is a bit special in terms of composition. While the base layer is a simple fancy ruffled shirt, black pants, and black shoes, the high collar black jacket he wears overtop acts as a conduit for his ability, Rashoumon. While it is not bound to that coat in particular, it is the one we generally see him use it with.

Atsushi (voiced in Japanese by Yūto Uemura and in English by Max Mittelman) is the main character of the anime/manga series Bungo Stray Dogs.

Coming from a difficult and painful past in an orphanage, Atsushi is now a member of the Armed Detective Agency, able to use the power that he used to fear, when he was unaware of it. He is able to fully form-shift into a white tiger, which comes with superhuman healing, as well as the ability to semi-morph parts of his body, such as his limbs into clawed tiger paws while attacking.

He is one half of the Shin Soukoku (New Double Black) duo, assigned as such by Dazai, and works (reluctantly on both parts) in tandem with Akutagawa.

When he arrived from the orphanage, Atsushi was practically in rags, so the agency cobbled together an outfit for him. It consists of a white button up shirt, black mid-length pants, loose boots, and black suspenders, a tie, a belt with an extra long end to mimic a tail, and fingerless gloves. He has choppy greyish blonde hair with an occasionally visible black streak along the longer side, and purple-gold eyes.

Takato Matsuki (voiced by Brian Beacon) is the main character of Digimon Tamers.  Digimon Tamers is the third season of the anime series Digimon.  In an interesting twist, the third season takes place in a world where the first two exist only as a television show, making for a wild surprise when Takato creates a Digiegg and hatches his Digimon Guilmon.  Takato has wild brown hair and wears goggles on his head.  His clothing consists of a short-sleeved blue hoodie, yellow wristbands, grey pants, and green sneakers.

In One Piece, Uta is a world famous diva singer and the adopted daughter of the Red-Haired Shanks. She has long white hair on her left side and long red hair on the right, arranged as ponytails with circle braids at the ends. She wears a short white frilly dress, a light blue sleeve on her left arm, and always golden headphones over her ears. She and Luffy are longtime friends and rivals. Uta is the star of One Piece Film: Red.

Finnian, also called Finny, (voiced in Japanese by Yuuki Kaji, and in English by Jason Liebrecht) is one of the important side characters in the anime Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler.

Finny is the gardener of the Phantomhive estate, serving under Ciel Phantomhive, and often does things disastrously wrong. He was a scientific test subject before being rescued and hired on to Ciel’s service, and as such is uncommonly strong to the point of being nearly superhuman.

He has golden blonde hair, kept short and fluffy with five red hairclips holding the bangs out of his face, and his eyes are a tealy-green. The outfit he wears is the outfit he gardens in, a cream colored long-sleeve shirt with a red trim on all the hems and collar, with a set of goldenrod plaid capri pants, finished off with dark socks and gardening boots with a red trim to match the shirt. He also has a waist pouch for gardening shears, a set of white gardening gloves, and a sun hat, that does the dual purpose of protecting him from the sun, as well as hiding his test subject number.
