Violence Fiend is a character in the best selling manga and hit anime, Chainsaw Man. Illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the series was serialized in Shonen Jump for two years with new chapters bi-weekly. Chainsaw Man takes place in a world where devils are born from fears. A fiend is a devil inhabiting a human body. Violence Fiend embodies the fear of violence, but surprisingly, he advocates for love and peace, with an easygoing personality. He becomes close with Kobeni.

Angel Devil is a character in the best selling manga and hit anime, Chainsaw Man. Illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the series was serialized in Shonen Jump for two years with new chapters bi-weekly. Chainsaw Man takes place in a world where devils are born from fears. Angel Devil may represent a fear of religion. He is kind towards humans, but touching him removes years from your life. Although he and Aki grows close, Makima ensures their demises.

Tohru (voiced in Japanese by Manaka Iwami and in English by Laura Bailey) is the main character of the anime/manga Fruits Basket.

She is one of the few in the main cast of the story that isn’t born into the Sohma family, and simply just meets them by chance when they stumble across her campsite that she mistakenly set up on their property. Tohru ends up living with Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure, in exchange for helping around their house, and takes it upon herself to help them end their family curse.

Tohru has long brown hair, usually worn slightly tied with a variety of colored ribbons (usually pink or yellow), and has brown eyes to match (this was changed from the original anime, where they were blue). Like the others, she’s often seen in her school uniform, which consists of a blue uniform shirt and matching short skirt, black knee high socks, and dark brown loafers.

Beam is a character in the best selling manga and hit anime, Chainsaw Man. Illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the series was serialized in Shonen Jump for two years with new chapters bi-weekly. Chainsaw Man takes place in a world where devils are born from fears. Like Power, Beam is a fiend, specifically the Shark Fiend. Energetic yet naive, Beam is unwaveringly loyal to Denji/Chainsaw Man. He goes along with Denji’s plans and will do anything to protect him. Talk about an amazing friend! He usually is depicted without a shirt, but this guide includes a fitting shark pattern button down.

Patricia “Patty” Thompson (voiced by Narumi Takihira in Japanese and Cherami Leigh in English) is the younger sister of Liz Thompson and the weapon partner of Death the Kid in the anime and manga series Soul Eater.  Patty is shorter than her elder sister, with brighter blonde hair which she wears in a bob haircut with bangs.  Her outfit is similar to her sister’s, though a bit more revealing, swapping out Liz’s long jeans for a pair of shorts instead.

Kakihara (played by Tadanobu Asano) is the sadistic yakuza enforcer who meets his match in Ichi the Killer.  Kakihara has distinctive scars on his face, which you’ll need molding wax to replicate.  He wears a couple of outlandish outfits throughout the film, though the embellished shirt and iridescent pants he wears in his final showdown with Ichi is certainly one of the most striking.  To recreate his costume, you may need to be a little flexible, as finding a holographic purple suit and sequin-embellished dress shirt can be difficult.  A rose-gold button-down with a shimmery gold floral pattern will fill in nicely, and you can either choose to focus on the colors of Kakihara’s suit or the holographic quality, depending on your preference.

Ayame (voiced in Japanese by Takahiro Sakurai and in English by Christopher R. Sabat) is one of the members of the Sohma family in the anime/manga Fruits Basket).

He is part of the older group of the zodiac members and the older brother of Yuki Sohma. Ayame is the Snake in the zodiac, and one of his main passions is the costume and dresses shop that he runs with Mine Kuramae.

Ayame has gold eyes and very long white hair with bangs. Due to the nature of his shop, he has a wide variety of outfits, so I decided to just pick one. It consists of two layers, a long white one and a matched length red one with gold fastenings up the entire front. With this one, in the shots I could find, he was wearing slippers with the rest of them, so I included a pair of shoes similar to ones he wears with another red outfit.

Elizabeth “Liz” Thompson (voiced by Akeno Watanabe in Japanese and Jamie Marchi in English) is a character from the manga and anime series Soul Eater.  She is the elder sister of Patty Thompson and the official weapon partner of Death the Kid.  Liz is a tall, slender woman with honey-blonde hair.  She wears a red crop top and dark jeans, with a white stubby tie and black heeled boots.  To complete her look, you’ll need two silver bangle bracelets for each wrist.  Her hat is rather unique, but any denim cowboy hat will get the job done.  She and her sister also wear cropped white jackets on occasion.
