Carbon Costume

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.

Rin (voiced in Japanese by Aki Toyosaki and in English by Brina Palencia) is one of the members of the Sohma family in the anime/manga Fruits Basket).

She is the Horse of the zodiac, and one of the few characters that is only in the second iteration of the anime, due to the short length of the original series. She has a close romantic relationship with Haru, even despite the hatred directed at her by Akito about it.

Rin has long dark hair cut in straight across bangs, and distant looking brown eyes. Like the others, her appearance does change a bit throughout the series, but for this outfit she has a looped cross necklace and wrist cuffs as accessories, and wears a white tank top with a low scooped back and ruffled sleeves over a red bra, with a black skirt/skort, and black knee high boots.

Haru (voiced in Japanese by Makoto Furukawa and in English by Justin Cook) is one of the members of the Sohma family in the anime/manga Fruits Basket).

He is the Ox in the zodiac, and has two sides to his personality, a dark and light mode, essentially. One is a lot more calm, and the other is ready to fight at any moment. Out of the rest of the zodiacs, he cares the most about Rin and Yuki, to varying degrees of love for each.

Haru has split toned hair, naturally occurring, with the under layer being black and the top a shaggy white, and his eyes are a soft golden-brown, almost orange, color. We see this outfit when he’s out biking, it’s a bit more covered than some of his others. It consists of his usual piercings, a metal feather necklace, a black turtleneck, black pants, black biking boots, thigh straps, a greyish belt, and an off-white coat with a black fluff collar (I could only find white collared ones, but I included links so you can mod it how you like).

Dabi (voiced by Hiro Shimono and Jason Liebrecht) is a member of the League of Villains in the anime and manga series My Hero Academia.  Dabi’s Quirk allows him to wield blue flames.  His intense dislike for Pro Heroes and tendency toward destruction make him a powerful foe.  There are plenty of Dabi costume sets available for purchase if you’re looking for an easy way to recreate his look.  Depending on which point in the story you prefer, you may need to add either a white or black wig and boots.  You can also DIY his costume with a black frock coat, scoop neck t-shirt, black pants, and a silver belt.  For the burnt remnants of his skin, use purple body paint to cover large portions of your face, neck, and arms.  Then use a black body crayon to create the illusion of folds and wrinkles.  Lastly, use a small brush and metallic silver body paint to add the staples.
