I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

An event kids absolutely love: Christmas! Getting excited about presents from Santa, enjoying delicious food and cake—it’s the best night of the year! Some of you might be decorating your rooms with a Christmas vibe to lift the mood.

So this time, to boost that festive feeling even more, we’ve put together some kids’ costume ideas perfect for Christmas! From classic outfits to popular anime characters, there’s a wide variety.

Some costumes can be handmade, too, so they’re great for those who love DIY!

Perfect for Christmas! Costume Ideas for Kids (1–10)

Pretty Cure

“Cure Summer Style” How to Make a Pretty Cure Cosplay Costume Using 100-Yen Store Materials [Free Streaming] Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure

Pretty Cure

Cosplay from the hugely popular TV anime Precure series is often based on sailor-style outfits, so it’s relatively easy to find materials and sewing patterns for making them.

Each series and character has distinct colors, so you can choose different felts depending on whom you’re recreating to craft the costume.

If you’re not confident with sewing, you can shape it using a hot glue gun.

There are also plenty of official goods available, so combining those with your costume could be fun!

Minion

At the theme park: a super hyped, Minion-inspired cosplay outfit. #Halloween #USJ #USJOutfit #UniversalStudiosJapan #USJWithKids #KidsClothes #Minions #MinionOutfit

Minion

Matching outfits are one of the fun parts of going to USJ.

Once you get there, you’ll notice just how many fans are dressed in Minion outfits—sometimes you’ll run into hundreds of them when it’s busy! The basic Minion look is a yellow shirt or sweater with navy overalls.

Add oversized goggles and you’re set.

If you want to get even closer to the Minion vibe, you can prepare a Minion mask, use official goggles, or make the pump they wear on their backs.

It’s a fun costume for little friends to wear together as a group.

[100-Yen Shop] How to Make Kids’ Costumes Vol. 3 – Christmas Outfit 🎁 | Christmas Tree Cosplay 🎄 | Dress, Hat, and Ornaments

Christmas tree

With Christmas approaching, many people may be thinking about making their own cosplay costumes.

One idea we’d like to introduce is creating a Christmas tree costume.

All you need are items like felt and red ribbon, which you can easily get at 100-yen shops, making it budget-friendly.

Plus, since the base of the costume uses a plain camisole, even those who aren’t confident in their sewing skills can give it a try.

There are detailed tutorial videos on YouTube, so be sure to check them out for reference.
