Costume Information

At the time I made this costume, I hadn't seen Papuwa. I was inspired to make this costume after seeing a little ad for the manga at a local anime store. I fell in love with Kotaro's outfit and so this costume was born.

This was a fairly straight-forward costume. I made the blue part by tracing the pattern I used for my Renamon costume and altering it a bit. I made the red design by tracing a pattern I made for it onto red polar fleece and hand-sewing it to the blue fabric. The "attachments" for the straps were tricky, but fun. The belts and the attachments are made of left over fabric from my Naruto pouch. The belt buckle was made of model magic.

The shoes are just black shoes I added a yellow strip and buckle to. I made the buckle out of model magic. I bought the pants at a local thrift store. I cut off one of the pant legs and used the material from it to make the armbands and collar, so they all match.

As for the wig, I bought a light blond bob and hacked at it until it looked like his hair.

And that's about it. All and all, this is one of the most painless costumes I've ever made, and I love the way it came out~
