Kyouraku Shunsui – Bleach 8th Division Captain
worn at: Anime Expo 2005
Lindze got me hooked on Bleach and it’s been a downhill slope since. I love a ton of the characters, but I wanted to do one with hakama that I thought I could pull off without looking silly.
I bought the hakama, waraji, hakama-shita, and pink kimono. The obi and captain’s jacket I made (with Twinkle making the iron-ons for the jacket!) The captain’s jackets were patterned from scratch using the hakama-shita as a reference. It was done for a huge Bleach group at AX! I love that Mitch actually facially and body type-wise, resembles the character, he had a lot of fun cosplaying as him.
