Recommended cosplay for men: Popular crowd-pleasing costumes (21–30)
Harry Potter
Harry Potter, the magical fantasy film that became a worldwide smash and a defining work of the 20th century.
The uniform of the fictional Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that appears in the story is perfect for cosplay.
With a black robe down to your ankles, you can be a wizard too! If you get official merchandise, it will cost a little over 20,000 yen!
Home Security Force N.E.E.T.
This is the cosplay of a group that suddenly surged in popularity starting from the Winter 2010 Comic Market.
Nowadays, they even have an official website and a substantial number of participants, making them a fully established cosplay group.
You can easily apply to join, and since their appearance is somewhat like a special forces unit, men who enjoy military or police themes might want to enlist and give this cosplay a try.
The Beast from “Beauty and the Beast”
The Beast from Beauty and the Beast.
Whether you’re doing a Disney couple cosplay or going solo as the Beast with a very realistic lion-like face, I think anything goes.
It might also be cool to wear a really rugged mask and then reveal a handsome, boyish face underneath when you take it off.
Sebastian from Black Butler
Sebastian Michaelis cosplay from the hit anime “Black Butler” is so cool it’s sure to turn heads! This outfit is perfect for those with refined features, but it’s a bit light, so be careful not to catch a cold.
A black suit, white shirt, and red contact lenses will make it flawless! Just don’t forget Sebastian’s elegant mannerisms.
How about showing off some devilish charm at a Halloween party? You’ll definitely have all eyes on you.
Mickey
Here’s an introduction to the world-famous star, Mickey Mouse.
Even when it comes to Mickey cosplay, how far you take it varies from person to person.
For example, you could just cosplay certain parts like the hands, ears, or nose and go on a cute date, or you could go all-in and become the character completely—that could be fun too.
Takanori Nishikawa
The fun thing about cosplay is that as long as the overall look is similar, you can resemble the person even if your face doesn’t look like theirs.
So why not try the flamboyant outfits of the popular singer Takanori Nishikawa? You can match the season—HOT LIMIT for summer and WHITE BREATH for winter.
Some of the looks are a bit revealing, so become Nishikawa to the extent your own sense of modesty allows.
Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam
Let me introduce Char Aznable from Mobile Suit Gundam.
It really wouldn’t be complete without that mask, of course—but it seems the helmet modeled after his mask is actually sold to the general public, so anyone can easily imitate the look.
I think this is a cosplay I’d especially love to see dads who admired Char back in the day give a try.
Gintoki Sakata from Gintama
Here’s an introduction to Gintoki Sakata from Gintama, which recently became widely known thanks to its live-action adaptation.
A must-have for this character is white hair.
It’s also quite challenging to style the wig to look naturally wavy, making this cosplay fairly high difficulty.
Sourcing the costume can be tough as well, but the sense of accomplishment when you pull it off is all the greater.
If you soften your gaze and aim for that “dead fish eyes” look, you might get much closer to his vibe.
Isao Kondo from Gintama
Let me introduce this character from the popular manga Gintama, which became a hot topic when it was adapted into live action.
While many famous anime and manga characters have long hair or delicate features that make them easier for women to cosplay, this character seems easy for men to cosplay—even those who haven’t tried cosplay before.
The outfits are also manageable—black suits, kimonos, and martial arts uniforms—so you can take on the challenge without overdoing it.
Hatsune Miku
It seems like having a man play this character, which is widely known as a female character, could really get a good reaction! When it comes to cosplay, I think the two simple points are that many people know the character and that their visual traits are easy to capture, so this might be a great chance to go for it boldly.
