Carbon Costume Nobunaga Shimazaki
Baki Hanma from Baki the Grappler
Baki Hanma (voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki and Troy Baker in the 2018 anime) is the protagonist of Baki the Grappler. Baki trains as a fighter so he can surpass and defeat his father Yuujiro Hanma as vengeance for the death of his mother Emi Akezawa. Baki has shaggy brown hair and a beauty mark over his lip that resembles Emi’s. For your costume, you’ll need a pair of red shorts to emulate Baki’s preferred fighting uniform. While finding an exact match might be difficult, plenty of options exist that are very similar, so choose your favorite. You’ll also need white hand wraps and athletic tape, and you can use a pair of open-toed grip socks to protect your feet. Baki is covered in scars from his hard years of training, and you can use scar wax to recreate these. Depending on how many you decide to wear, you may need extra wax. Choose a concealer in your skin tone (the one linked comes in many) to conceal the edges. Finally, use a black eyebrow pencil to add your beauty mark and you’re ready for a fight!
Haruka Nanase from Free! (Swimming Outfit)
Haru (voiced in Japanese by Nobunaga Shimazaki and in English by Todd Haberkorn) is the main character of the anime Free!
He is a freestyle swimmer and during the majority of the original series, he was the vice-captain of the swim club at Iwatobi High School. He has since graduated and is attending Hidaka university, also joining the swim club there, in hopes of going on to professional competitions.
Haru has short black hair that hangs over his eyes, which are bright blue. He is usually seen wearing his Iwatobi school sports jacket, and his thigh length, tight black swim pants, with purple line detailing. Haru often (if not always) wears the swim pants underneath his every day clothes, as he’ll take every opportunity to rip off his outerwear and dive into the nearest body of water…even if it’s a fishtank.
Yuki Sohma from Fruits Basket
Yuki (voiced in Japanese by Nobunaga Shimazaki and in English by Eric Vale) is one of the primary main characters in the anime/manga Fruits Basket.
Out of the cursed zodiacs of the Sohma family, Yuki holds the power of the Rat. He lives with Kyo and Shigure at the start, as well as Tohru when she ends up moving in. Yuki starts off the series being very distant and has a lot of self-esteem issues, despite being regarded as a popular, princely icon at his school, but grows to be more open around the people he cares about.
He has short, silvery hair worn with two long side bangs, and grey eyes. Like Kyo, he’s often seen wearing their school’s uniform, consisting of a set of dark blue slacks and a matching shirt, a light grey tie, and dark brown loafers.
