Stand out with your Halloween costume! Eye-catching cosplay ideas even for first-timers (61–70)
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is a popular manga and anime that won the 14th Manga Taisho in 2021, with original story by Kanehito Yamada and art by Tsukasa Abe.
Try incorporating the characters’ looks into your cosplay.
Frieren is an elf with a long lifespan and has lived for over a thousand years, so in a sense she might be considered a monster-like being.
Her outfit isn’t very complicated, so it’s a great choice for a transformation.
Give it a try!
knight
It takes time because you need to make each part separately, but that effort lets you create a look that’s a bit different from everyone else.
It would be great if you could evoke the feel of a fallen knight’s ghost from the battlefield and enjoy Halloween night.
Jujutsu Kaisen
How about enjoying some Jujutsu Kaisen cosplay this Halloween? The hit anime is full of cool, distinctive characters, and dressing up as your favorite is sure to boost your mood! You can find each character’s costumes and wigs through online shops, so it might be fun to mix them with clothes you already own.
Talk with your friends or group about which characters to cosplay, then join a Halloween party or parade and stand out!
VOCALOID
How about cosplaying popular VOCALOID characters like Hatsune Miku or Kagamine Rin? Costumes you find on cosplayer sites tend to be pretty expensive, so if you’re good at sewing, making your own is a great option! To go all out, you’ll also need a wig and colored contacts, but a high-quality cosplay is sure to turn heads!
Oshi no Ko
Halloween is all about enjoying cosplay as your favorite characters! Coming up with costumes for your faves is part of the fun.
Speaking of “oshi,” this video showcases cosplay ideas from the hugely popular Oshi no Ko for both kids and adults.
You’ll find clever tricks that let you use clothes you already have at home, and many items from 100-yen shops can be substituted too—perfect for making it fun for both children and grown-ups.
Enjoy Halloween while getting excited about your favorite characters together!
Nobita-kun
How about dressing up as Nobita, the lovable crybaby character from Doraemon, the beloved national anime adored across generations, for Halloween? It’s a great pick if you’re looking for a cosplay that stands out from the crowd! When you think of Nobita, his trademark glasses, yellow shirt, blue shorts, and white socks with white sneakers come to mind.
You can probably put the outfit together with clothes you already own, so it might be budget-friendly too! It’s a cosplay that works for anyone, regardless of gender, so let’s go all-in as Nobita at your Halloween party or parade!
mandarin orange
If you want to really stand out on Halloween, we recommend a “mikan (mandarin orange)” costume! It’s especially great for babies and kids—the bright orange body is super eye-catching.
Add a mikan headpiece or hat and some green tights to boost the mikan vibe! The orange body looks DIY-friendly, so it might be fun to try making it yourself.
If the whole family dresses as mikans, your Halloween party is sure to be a hit!
