Cosplay/outfit identification help

Postby Debitt » Mon Jan 17, 2005 8:25 pm

I'm planning to cosplay Ichinomiya Kantarou sometime in the near future, however, I'm having a slightly problem planning the costume.

You see, if I wear his usual white hakamashita kimono and red hakama pants, I'm worried I'll get mistaken for Kikyo from Inuyasha (being an asian girl doesn't help that situation), so I was thinking of going for the fancier outfit he wears at times. The problem is, I have no idea WHAT that outfit is called, and therefore can't find a pattern to help me sew it.

So...I've attached pictures, and if anyone can provide me with the name of the outfit (I've seen other anime characters in it before, so I KNOW it has a name) I'd be eternally grateful.

I'm hunting around to see if I can find out; if not, I'll see if my sensei knows.

For anyone else googling around, I think Fujiwara no Sai from Hikaru no Go wears an outfit of similar design, so you might check that too (I will after I finish with the sites I'm searching now if no one else does.)

EDIT: Okay, Kantaro's collar is a little lower than Sai's, but as far as I've found, the outer jacket thing is called a "kariginu". (My resource: here) :sweat: Hope that's a little help.

x3 Whoo! :hug: Sankyuu! LoL, funny thing is, I was gonna mention that Sai wears a similar outfit, but I wasn't 100% sure since I'm not very familiar with HnG

Np. ^__~ Glad to be of help; Kantaro is so cool. Promise me I'll get to see pictures when you're done, okay? (Ooh, do you have piccies from Halloween? I still wanted to see those... You were going to do Shuichi, right?)

If you can't get a pattern of that exact outfit, you might try browsing around the costume portion of McCall or Butterick's patterns for a man's tunic. You could alter it slightly and I think it'd probably work pretty well.

And yes, like Aka-chan said "We want pictures!!"
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I'm going to Boston convention as...

SCARY KENSHIN CLONE, muahahahhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
Heart of Sword's Rhapsody

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!
