Carbon Costume

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.

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.

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.

Shuichi Saito is a major character in Uzumaki, the horror manga novel by Junji Ito. He is a resident of Kurozu-Cho, the city cursed by spirals. Shuichi is the first person to catch on to the curse, because he has the ability to sense spirals. The chain of events begin when his father becomes obsessed with spirals. Upon his father’s death, his mother becomes terrified of spirals, leading to her death and leaving Shuichi an orphan. He often saves his friend and eventual girlfriend, Kirie Goshima, from the curse. 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.

In Sailor Moon, Sailor Tin Nyanko is one of the Sailor Animamates. She wears a shiny black top with matching skirt, long gloves, tall boots, and a long black cat tail. Her choker and top are adorned with jingle bells, fitting since her last name Suzu translates to “little bells”. Like the other Animamates, she wears Galactica bracelets.

Shinya (voiced in Japanese by Aki Kanada and in English by Barbara Goodson [P5/P5R]/Eden Riegel [P5A]) is a secondary character in the Persona 5 series.

He is a character you meet early on in the series once you unlock the arcade, as he spends most of his time there as an ace marksman in the Gun About arcade game. Once you spend more time with him he ends up becoming one of your Confidant pathways, with his arcana being that of ‘The Tower’.

Shinya has choppy cut black hair and dark grey eyes, and he wears a red ball cap with GET SMOKED on it in gold lettering. His upper layer is a white and light blue varsity jacket with gold detailing, a red circle with a white ’16’ inside of it, and ‘NOOBS’ across the chest in black and white lettering. His pants are a dark grey-blue pair of jeans that are rolled up to just below the knees, and he wears midtoned blue sneakers without visible socks. This is finished off with his green, white, and red school backpack.

Schrodinger (voiced by Ryoko Shiraishi and Laura Bailey) is a major antagonist in the anime series Hellsing, which means he is often at odds with the vampire Alucard.  He is often playful and teasing werecat, but that does not diminish his cruelty.  Schrodinger wears a Nazi youth uniform, which you can recreate with a short sleeved yellow button down, long black shorts, and knee high socks.  Add some accessories including a black tie, white gloves, a black belt, and a white and red striped arm band, and a leather strap over your right shoulder.  Finish your look with a blonde wig and animal ear headband.

Rachel (voiced in Japanese by Haruka Chisuga and in English by Meg McClain) is the main character in the Angels of Death franchise.

She is an amnesiac teenage girl that wakes up in an unfamiliar place, and then gets thrown unwittingly into a death game as the sacrifice for all the floor masters. She ends up getting chased around by Zack, a serial killer, who violates the rules of the floor and gets wrapped up into the same predicament as her. They form a truce of sorts, where he agrees to kill her when they get out, as long as she helps him escape.

Rachel has long blonde hair and her eyes are a dull blue (though this changes slightly throughout the series). She wears a black and white striped baggy shirt, with an oversized white cardigan over it, and short black shorts. Her outfit is finished off with a solid black choker necklace, a black shoulder bag, and black ankle boots with side buckles.
