13 Cosplays of Halloween: Couples' Crypt - Kitaro/Neko Musume (GeGeGe no Kitaro)

Day 6! ^^ We have the hit the halfway mark! Time to light some lanterns and march through the cemetery because today, it's Kitaro and Neko Musume from 'GeGeGe no Kitaro!'

Here's some designs of Kitaro. ^^ The fifth design (from the 2007 version of the anime) will be the focus on the recipe. Many thanks to Anime Nation for letting me use this!

 

Here's the design of Neko Musume from the 2007 version! ^^ Many thanks to the Gegege no Kitaro Wiki for letting me use this!

 

Here's what you need for Kitaro:

• A dark blue dress shirt
• Matching shorts
• A yellow reflective vest
• Black duct tape
• Flip-flops
• A short brown wig

How to assemble him:

1. Get dressed.
2. Put on the vest and measure out the duct tape. Somebody can help out with putting the tape on the vest.
3. Now for the wig. Put it on and brush the hair over your left eye. Slap on some flip-flops and you're done!

Now for Neko Musume! ^^ Here's what you need for her:

• A white dress shirt
• A pink overall dress
• Red or pink skinny ribbon
• Matching pink thick ribbon
• A short red wig
• Pink flats
• Matte yellow eyeshadow (optional)
• A black eye pencil (optional)
• Fake vampire teeth (optional)
• Glue stick (optional)

How to assemble her:

1. Get dressed.
2. Measure out the amount of both the skinny and thick ribbon for the shirt and the hair. Cut the desired amount and set aside for later.
3. For the hair, put on the wig and tie the thick ribbon to a large bundle of strands. You can use your actual hair too, but it would need to be short and red or black (like the older designs of Neko).
4. Feed the skinny ribbon through the collar and tie it to a bow. Not too tight, though! Put on the shoes and you're done!
5. Now, here are the optional steps to make her monster form! Cover your brows with the glue stick and wait for it to dry.
6. When the glue's dry, cover the top lids and half of the brows with the eyeshadow. These will be the base of her eyes.
7. Take the eye pencil and trace the upper half of your brows and the top of your lashes. Finish it off with gently putting a vertical line through the upper lid and some vampire teeth in your mouth. Now you're done!

Hope you enjoyed! ^^
