Choosing costumes is one of the best parts of a school festival!
To make the day special, we recommend trying outfits that are different from your usual style.
Here, we’ll introduce some fun cosplay ideas.
You can enjoy a wide variety of costumes, from popular anime characters to classic Halloween looks.
If you pick an anime with lots of characters, it’s also fun to split the roles with friends and cosplay as a group!
They’re perfect for various performances and dance stage outfits, too.

Princess
@n0a_9277 Became a princess on the first day of the school festival 👑💍💖#fjk#09#08OsakaHanazono High School#JK brand#Hanakou FestivalCultural Festival#Cosplay#fyp

Who’s your favorite Disney princess? Of course, it’s impossible to pick just one, right? By the way, the castles at each country’s Disneyland are themed after different princesses, and in Japan it’s none other than Cinderella.
Cosplaying as a princess is one of many girls’ dreams, isn’t it? It’s perfect for a festival-like school culture day—how about everyone dressing up as princesses together? Snow White, Anna, Elsa, Rapunzel, Belle, Tiana, and more—you might even get the whole class to cosplay as princesses.
Just thinking up handmade costumes is exciting from the planning stage, isn’t it?
Hatsune Miku
Hatsune Miku is now considered the progenitor of virtual singer software.
She might even be the reason the term “Vocaloid” became widely known.
If you’re creating a stage to showcase dances to Vocaloid songs, a Hatsune Miku cosplay would really stand out.
With long emerald-green hair, a white shirt with a green tie and red ribbon, and black stockings, you’re already in the Miku mood.
If you can use a voice changer app to give your voice an electronic tone… make it a great stage full of creative ideas!
Sailor Moon
Sailor Moon is popular among women of all ages.
There’s a wide variety of cosplay costumes available for easy purchase, which makes it convenient to get an outfit.
Plus, if you and your friends each become a Sailor Guardian—like Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, or Sailor Mars—you’ll have even more fun! Try gathering a group and fully embracing the Sailor Guardians.
If you take photos, they’re sure to become great memories from your school days.
maid outfit
When it comes to cosplay, you just can’t leave out maid outfits! You can easily buy a full costume, or if you already have a black dress, it’s fine to just get a frilly white apron and pair them together.
Besides the classic black-and-white look, there are plenty of color and style variations, so try to show your originality to avoid matching with others.
It might be fun to go all out with cute accessories, like adding cat ears.
And if your class is putting on a maid café, this outfit is a must.
Anya (SPY×FAMILY)
How about a cosplay costume of Anya, one of the most popular characters from the manga SPY×FAMILY by Tatsuya Endo? Since she’s a small girl, the key is how well you can convey that aspect through the outfit and accessories.
Her basic features include a one-piece, uniform-style outfit, pink hair, and horn-like hair accessories.
She’s also memorable for her distinctive reactions and way of speaking, so focusing not only on the costume but also on her mannerisms will make the cosplay even more complete.
Pirates Girl
@meee.ili SJK’s school festival is Pirates Girl 👩🏽🦱💋✨#fyp#fypシ#vairal#sjk#🇯🇵#pirates

How about livening up your school festival by dressing as a Pirates Girl in a pirate costume? Female pirates are popular in movies and TV anime, right? Be sure to choose outfits that highlight pirate features, like bandanas and corsets.
Joining a stage performance or a costume contest is great, but a cosplay café also sounds fun.
How about it as your class’s attraction? Since pirate outfits aren’t something you can wear in everyday life, we hope everyone who dresses up really enjoys it.
Chiikawa
https://www.tiktok.com/@qmq.o0/video/7419265214035758344Everyone knows Chiikawa, but do you know Chiikawa’s real name? The official title is actually “Chiikawa: Something Small and Cute.” When I first saw the anime segment on Fuji TV’s morning show “Mezamashi TV,” I was surprised by how laid-back it was.
How about you? If it’s a school festival with lots of little kids coming, Chiikawa cosplay might be the most popular.
Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi—everyone can show off whatever cosplay they like.
Plan your cosplay from different angles—outfits, headpieces, and more!
