Gaara
In the anime TV series Naruto, Gaara is a ninja-in-training from the sand village Suna and, at first, the rival of titular character Naruto. He is a dark, solitary boy who grew up alone in his village because he carries within him the powerful and monstrous One-Tailed Shukaku. Because of this he vowed to live for himself alone, killing those who crossed his path. In Part 1 of the series he wears a black outfit with a white sash and carries his signature sand gourd on his back. For his brown sash, use a piece of thick fabric for the main part and then sew on stripes of faux leather with a silver buckle at each end.

Neji Hyuga
Neji Hyuga believes himself to be a rare prodigy and exceptional ninja among the young ninjas-in-training on the anime series Naruto. Unfortunately, he was born into a branch of the clan that must serve the main house, and so feels shafted by fate. Because of this he acts out against the main house clan members and views those with less or different talents as ‘weaker’ than himself. In Part 1 of the series he wears a bland beige and grey outfit with long brown hair and his clan’s pale white eyes. For the top, crop the sleeves of a zip-up hoodie and buy patches of similar color to sew on overtop.
