Recommended cosplay for men: popular costumes that will get a good reaction

Home Security Force N.E.E.T.

Comic Market (Comiket) 82: 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

“It would be unbearable to have it snatched away” Episode 10 | Anime ‘Black Butler: Public School Arc’ airing and streaming every Saturday from 23:30! #黒執事 #BlackButler

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

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse / Episode 1 | Let's Find Daisy's Sheep

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

T.M.Revolution – HOT LIMIT｜Official Music Video

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

Finally, become Char. / TRANTRIP Char Costume Set

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

Cosplay Makeup ayuritomoka [Cosplay Gintama - Gintoki] I tried doing the makeup

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.
