[Halloween Costumes] Kids’ outfits: The latest and classic costume ideas (11–20)
Spider-Man
Spider-Man, a beloved character from movies, anime, and TV dramas.
A hero who swings freely using spider webs and fights villains—he’s someone every boy dreams of becoming at least once! To fully become Spider-Man you’ll need a full-body suit, which can be a bit tough for very young kids, but it’s a great costume choice for boys.
In addition to the outfit, children’s web shooters are also available, so be sure to gear up and enjoy being Spider-Man to the fullest!
Dracula
One classic Halloween costume is the “Dracula.” With black pants, a white shirt, and a cape, you can easily transform into Dracula! If you paint your face white and add fake blood around your mouth, you can create an even scarier vibe.
It’s generally considered a boys’ costume, but a cute Dracula look for girls could be fresh and fun too!
Dragon Ball
This is a costume from the long-popular series Dragon Ball.
When it comes to easy-to-wear cosplay for boys, this is the pick! If the parents are from the Dragon Ball generation, why not enjoy dressing up together as a family? If you want to go all out, you might want to make the hair blond, but dyeing a child’s hair can feel a bit iffy.
These days, kids’ wigs are also available, so if you want to be particular, give them a look!
pirate
Pirates are something that every boy is bound to admire at least once! When we say “pirate,” there are all kinds—Luffy from ONE PIECE, Jack Sparrow from the film Pirates of the Caribbean, even Captain Hook from Disney’s Peter Pan.
The image may change depending on your tastes, but just wearing a hat with a skull emblem and carrying a cutlass instantly gives you a cool vibe!
Minions
How about dressing up as the popular movie characters, the Minions? Even before the Minion attractions were added at Universal Studios Japan, there were lots of little kids in Minion costumes.
If you search on social media like Instagram or Twitter, you’ll also find parents and children coordinating Minion outfits together.
The costumes are relatively simple to prepare, so it’s an easy cosplay to try.
Snow White
Halloween costumes are traditionally meant to transform you into something “scary,” but in recent years more and more costumes don’t follow that rule.
For example, Disney Princess Snow White has been becoming a popular choice for children’s costumes.
Snow White is a princess every girl dreams of being at least once.
It might deviate from the original purpose, but why not take this opportunity to become a cute princess?

cat
Then as now, one of the most enduringly popular costumes is the cat! If you want something simple, you can transform yourself easily with just a pair of cat-ear headbands.
There are many varieties on sale—from fluffy white ears to black cats, and even colorful pink and blue ones.
You can stand out with accessories like adding a tail or a ribbon.
Draw some whiskers on your cheeks, and you’re all set!
