Suzume Mizuno from Zatch Bell!
Suzume Mizuno (voiced by Tomoko Akiya and Colleen O’Shaughnessey) is a character in the anime and manga series Zatch Bell! She is a schoolmate of Kiyomaro Takamine, who she has a crush on. Suzume is a bit of a klutz and not a great student, though she has good knife skills. To create her look, you’ll want to start with a short brown wig and white headband. Then, build your school uniform with a blue skirt, a sailor uniform short-sleeved shirt, and a light blue tie. Lastly, you’ll need dark blue loafers and white socks.
Tsuyu Asui from My Hero Academia (School Uniform)
Tsuyu (voiced in Japanese by Aoi Yūki and in English by Monica Rial) is one of the partial main characters in the anime/manga series My Hero Academia.
She is a student in class 1-A at UA High School, along with Izuku and the others, and is in training to become a pro-hero named Froppy. Her Quirk, Frog, lets her recreate frog-like behaviors, including sticky climbing, extending her tongue to extreme lengths, and camouflage, among many others. During the internships part of the series, she trained under Selkie, with the Oki Mariner Crew, who she also ended up teaming up with again while doing a work study under Ryukyu.
Tsuyu has very long dark green hair, that she generally ends up wearing tied in some sort of bow-type style, and huge eyes with black centers. Her outfit is the standard UA uniform, with the white button up shirt tied with a red tie, worn with a grey blazer with green and gold detailing, and the same tealy-green for the skirt. The rest of it is finished off with black, knee-high socks, and brown loafers. If you would like to see how to make her pro-hero outfit, please see this article here!
Ochaco Uraraka from My Hero Academia (School Uniform)
Ochaco (voiced in Japanese by Ayane Sakura and in English by Luci Christian) is one of the main characters in the anime/manga series, My Hero Academia.
She is a student in the 1-A class at U.A High School, and is training to be a Pro-Hero under the title ‘Uravity’, with a specialty in martial arts. Her Quirk, Zero Gravity, enables her to float both herself and other people/items around her, aiding in rescue efforts when necessary. She is empathetic towards villains, and tries her best to reach out to Toga, offering herself up as someone to really listen to her.
There was a prior article done on her Uravity hero outfit, so if you are interested in that one as well, here’s where you can find the information on it! For her school uniform, her eyes and hair are unchanged (though she is sometimes seen with a ponytail in official artworks), and she wears the standard grey UA jacket, over a white button up shirt, and red tie, with the very dark tealy-green pleated skirt. The look is finished off with opaque black tights, and brown standard-looking loafers.
Senpaibuns from Gacha Life
Senpaibuns is a non-playable character from the video game, Gacha Life. She can be found in Hometown of Life mode. In one of the games, “Narwhal Sky,” she is actually playable. Senpaibuns reappears in Gacha Club as a preset with multiple battle units.
Sailor Jupiter from Sailor Moon
Makoto Kino (voiced by Emi Shinohara and Amanda Céline Miller) is a Sailor Guardian in the anime and manga series Sailor Moon. Known as Sailor Jupiter when in her Sailor form, Makoto is an orphan, having lost her parents in a plane crash. She is tomboyish and loves cooking. Makoto has long brown hair that she wears in a ponytail. Her school uniform consists of a khaki skirt and matching blouse. Finding an exact match can be tough, but you can recreate the look with a similarly colored sailor sweatshirt (though you may want to pin the rabbit ears on the hood out of sight). When fighting evil by moonlight with Sailor Moon and the rest of the Guardians, Sailor Jupiter’s costume is dark green with matching boots. In both her civilian and Sailor forms, she wears pink rosebud earrings and a green hair tie in her hair.
City Girl’s Celestial Angel
City Girl’s fourth album, Celestial Angel, includes beautiful cover art reminiscent of 90s anime. The city scene takes on an ethereal appearance with the cover character, likely the titular Celestial Angel, hovering off a set of stairs, an otherworldly glow enveloping her as she ascends. The Angel’s appearance includes a blue skirt and puffy-sleeved blouse as well as blue chin-length hair.
Academy D.Va from Overwatch
Announced in 2019, the Academy skin for D.Va (voiced by Carlet Chung in the English version) was a new spin on the character’s look. Prior to that most of D.Va’s looks were spins on her usual pilot’s jumpsuit.
The skin puts her into a college uniform complete with headphones, blazer, plaid skirt, blue socks, and white sneakers with pink laces. Getting the exact jacket is a little tricky, though, since there are so many small details. Soft touch fabric paint lets you add in the details without creating stiff areas on your coat. Start with a white base to make the colors pop, then edge the lapels and hem in yellow while add pocket lines with pink. Black pig tails, pink headphones, a white undershirt and pink tie finish off the look.
Nico Yazawa from Love Live!
Nico Yazawa (voiced by Sora Tokui and Erica Mendez) is one of the nine main characters of the anime series Love Live! Nico is upbeat and cheerful, though this aspect of her personality does not detract from the fact that she is also often abrasive and self-centered. Nico loves fashion and was the previous president of the Idol Research Club. Nico’s costume consists of a blue plaid skirt, pink cardigan, and blue blazer with gold buttons.
