The costumes of Hatake Kakashi

Hatake Kakashi is the member of ANBU, and then become the leader of Team 7. Besides Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi is also a very popular role in Naruto. Usually, Kakashi give people a cool and mysterious feeling, we mostly picture Kakashi’s real appearance after his mask. Although the costumes of Kakashi is few, we still have some topics could say.

1 style: Chunin and Jonin Uniform of Konohagakure (It is main costume of Kakashi)

Although the costume is same as other Chunin’s and Jonin’s, Kakashi always seems more handsome than others! Of course, I say this in my opinion. The tailor-made uniform matched with Kakashi’s special languid eyes and mysterious face, Kakashi always sticks out in a crowd. I remember I have talked about the Chunin/Jonin Uniform in the past, if you are interested in, you could find it in front.

2 style: weskit (It present when Kakashi on the bed)

When Kakashi on the bed, he always wearing this black weskit, maybe it is his sleep coat. This style Kakashi costume shows his strong figure and special tattooing on his arm. Specifically, the mask is attached to his underwear; this is mean if only he wearing clothes, we could not see his face!

3 style: ANBU costume

Although Kakashi was come form ANBU, we did not see he wearing the ANBU costume in anime? There are some enthusiasts PS them, and now we could see Kakashi style with ANBU costume. How do you think of this style?

The costumes of Gaara

Gaara is a fictional character in the Naruto manga and anime series created by Masashi Kishimoto. Kishimoto designed Gaara as a foil to the series’ titular character, Naruto Uzumaki, as the two were born through similar circumstances, but develop vastly different personalities as they deal with their troubled upbringing.

1 style: black tights + reticulated cotta (This Gaara costume presented in the early first season)

The greatest feature of Gaara is the big calabash (which also make him seems smaller). At the first season of Naruto, the costume of Gaara is not very excellent in my view, the weight seems too heavy to Gaara, and the costumes seems also not easy to take action. So, we could find he is not good at Taijutsu.

There is a white silk on Gaara’s shoulder, it seems like a wraps, Sunagakure is in desert region, and have many dust, so the silk has another effect, it could keep out of the sand wind.

2 style: brown long sleeve robe (the upper costumes of 1 season of Naruto）

This brown robe is more popular among most Gaara fans. The robe design make Gaara seems more mature. After fight with Naruto, Gaara have known his way. At this time, there have more confidence and love in his heart. And as the skin if Gaara is very white, the brown color is too old-fashioned in his. In short, this Gaara costume is one nice opus in Naruto.

3 style: Robe + ballistic vest (the main style in Heros Come Back)

In Heros Come Back, Gaara appeared as the fifth Kazekage, at this time, his style also changed in some parts. There have add one ballistic vest, the volume of calabash have also become larger. Form these changes, we could find, the strength of Gaara have increased. The design of this Gaara costume has referred to the design of Chinese Men’s cheongsam, the overall mix can show rigorous, orthodox, and modest side. In this costume, the cartoonist dropped out the white silk, the color of the costume is darker. This also signaled the growth of Gaara.

The costumes of Sakura Haruno

1 style: Red long dress (the earlier style of first season)

Red color, dress, long hair and the headband, they are all romantic and girlish elements. No matter Sakura Haruno would become what style girl, at the beginning, Sakura give me a feminine feeling. When I saw her dress up, I think she is a cute girl.

2 style: Red sleeveless dress

During the fighting, Sakura cut her hair, and her costume also become the sleeveless dress. This style dress is shorter than the prior one. In my opinion, the change of character’s costume also represent his mind also experiences some transformation. It is like Sakura cut her hair without hesitation, which is also means she was saying goodbye to her past.

3 style: Leggings + skirt (the main style in Heros Come Back)

Although i think the skirt is too short to be a dress, here we just think it is a skirt. I don’t know if the author allowing for the long dress go against sports, the design of this Sakura costume is more convenient. And the collection of legging and skirt also solve the problem of exposal.

The tops are simple sleeveless zipper design, this collocation highlight Sakura’s youthful and lively characteristic. Especially her black gloves could said be the bright spots of this Sakura costume!

The costumes of Sasuke Uchiha

It could say that Sasuke is the one who change his costume most frequently. To most fans, this result is necessary. The Sasuke Uchiha is both the idol type and true power type, his costumes should be the most.

1 style: Blue white Short sleeve suit (the main style of first season)

Both blue and white is cold color, they match Sasuke’s character perfectly. The standing collar design is very cool and fashion. This Sasuke costumes make him very youthful and dynamic. In this design, Sasuke costume have matched with white oversleeve, although it may not so useful in Sasuke’s daily life, from all styles of Sasuke, he always make some accessories on his arm, so this doing could said be one feature of Sasuke.

2 style: black tights

This style present before Sasuke left Konohagakure and after he learn Raikiri. Different from the mentioned modeling, this style Sasuke is maturer. The zipper is on the side of the costume. From this period, the color of Sasuke costumes break away from blue and began to use the black, white and purple color. We could find that Sasuke’s heart has gone though some complicated and profound changes.

3 style: white kimono shippuden  (the main style in Heros Come Back )

The appearance of Sasuke in Heros come back bring a big surprise to me. His style changed so much, his costume did not have standing collar, besides, Sasuke new costume add some characteristic of Orochimaru. The only thing did not changed is his Mon on his back. The sign of Uchiha is Sasuke’s pride, but it is also the source of his tragic life. This Sasuke costume is one standard Orochimaru style costume, the Bluish coat bare bosom, and matched with a hemp rope belt. This style Sasuke give people one bleak and lonely feeling.

4 style: black vest kimono

This style appeared in Sasuke VS Itachi

After fight with Itachi, there have many more bandage on Sasuke body, this design is also very simple.

5 style: white standing collar zipper Kimono (the current style)

When the second state is missing, Sasuke’s style changed to the docile modeling. The standing collar design matched with the hair style of Sasuke, the zipper design also reduce the wild and cool feeling of Sasuke. In short, this style Sasuke costume is one regular costume.

The costumes of Naruto Uzumaki

In general, the clothes Naruto Uzumaki wears are usually orange no matter in the fist season or the second season which he grown up. Orange represent exciting, happy, lively, light, it delegate one wish, one positive attitude. This color suit Naruto Uzumaki very much. Naruto Uzumaki usually sends out his enthusiasm and upbeat attitude, he is the hope of Konohagakure. The costume of Naruto usually the sports suits, this style is very simple and vivid.

1 style: Orange white three-quarter sleeves suit (appear in the 1^st season)

As the protagonist, the vivid and positive orange color very suit Naruto. Although this style is not so beautiful, it can brighten everyone’s eyes. This Naruto costume is one typical sports suit; the main color is orange and matched with some deep blue. The biggest feature is its collar; I think the most beautiful of this Naruto costume is its high turn-down collar. The turn-down collar could express cute feelings, which very suit Naruto who was immature and childish. Especially the collar adopts white color, very simple and lively, the accessory of the shoulder becomes the highlight of this costume. It is more stylish if matched with his cool Shelter glasses.

2^nd style: Teenager Naruto costume  (present to 2^nd season, the present style )

In this style, the sleeves are not roll up, this design make Naruto seems more slender. Compare with the younger Naruto costume, this costume is simpler and maturer. The color of the teenager Naruto costume also becomes steadier. Of course, these changes are necessary, Naruto grows up, his character is also become mature gradually, and standing collar is also one nice design of the teenager Naruto costume. In general, the costume is one very practical.

3^rd style: Teenager Naruto costume + cloak (Fairy mode)

The heroic red cloak and large scroll, this Naruto style brings us the domineering feeling.

The analyses of representative costumes in Naruto

Naruto is one magnum opus of Japanese cartoonist Masashi Kishimoto, and now this manga have been popularity to the world. This anime have been serialized from 1999 on Weekly Shonen Jump. This story talk about the ninja who hide in the dark and do the furtive and cruel things with hard, and this story describe the ninja to be best and proudest profession. And in this ninja world, every ninja is developing their Shinobido.

Except the story and roles, the costumes in the anime also become hot topic among the anime fans. This article will talk about the representative costumes in Naruto, and discuss the deep connotation under appearances.

1 Waistcoat & sandal

The most common costume in Naruto is the uniform which allocate to the Konoha jounin, In particular, the costume is one highneck thick waistcoat which multi-pockets, and matched with one pare of straw high-cut sandal, fillet, and one square ninja bag. They can match with shirt, tights and Fishnet vest. If you think that the four costumes and accessories is optional, you are wrong, the selection of these Naruto costumes is very cultured.

Firstly, we could find that in the democratic Konoha world, the right of free to dress is shielded. If the ninja costumes including the skirts, pants or the limitation of ties, the feminist would treat them as the products of prejudice, and to the male which have personal tastes of costumes would also express dissatisfied as he could not wearing his favorite tights and waistcoat. And to avoid some other misunderstanding, the naruto costumes also lose sights of the limitation of the downloading and underwear; and only stipulate the waistcoat, sandal and theses nonsensitive costumes.

Secondly, a practical point, these three clothes fit the job of ninja: secret and rapid. Tie match which mini-dress, or the sailor uniform with ribbon, even the smallest nekomimi or rabbit ears, they could cause inconvenient in their action. And the leather shoes even would cause injury to the ninja.

Finally, from the economy, these designs are also very cost-efficient. In the action, pulling, stabbing or scraping could not only hurt ninja, but also cause damage of costumes, in this viewpoint; the simple and practical costumes are very worthy.

 

2 Mask and vest

The level which only second to the Waistcoat & sandal is the Shadows dark taupe off-shoulder vest and cat face mask. Similar to the mentioned clothes, these two apparels also have specific meaning.

Shadows, just as its name implies, is the group which act in shadows, and the tasks usually did not tell others, and the task actor could not exposed his identify. Therefore, the mask is very necessary. And compare with Face shield, the mask is easier to wash, and the protective is higher, too. And one other benefit, the uniform mask is designed elaborately, it could avoid expose the character of face as the different features. For this reason, masks become the preferred of Shadows superior to scarf, sunglasses, and pullover stockings.

The design of vest also consider the members of Shadows do not need much details, the vest only need to shut out key areas and meanwhile set apart the location of Sabre. So the design of the vest is very simple, in this points, it is opposite to the lace piercing night-robe.

At last, as the tasks of Shadows is very complex, this attire could be changed to adapt to the different occasions.

3 Robe and Ring

Although there have less than 10 person dressed them, these person are stand out in strength and prestige. As the uniform of the mysterious organization Akatsuki, the robe and ring also represent the characteristic of this organization. Mentioned the robe and ring, people would think the magician at first, they use robe to cover the drug and prop, and use ring to carry the soul body or the transcendental gemstone. The member of Akatsuki also like this, the robe could cover their adept skill, and the ring is the signal of stronger. Hide together with assertive is the characteristic of Akatsuki.

Another feature of Akatsuki is GEMING, it doesn’t attach to any country, and make up with the treacherous ninja, and they want to use their strength to achieve their dream, it is the philosophy of GEMING, their robes can reflect this point.

The robe is black, and printed white cloud and red fire. Thought the history, the GEMING usually use red color, Akatsuki is not a soft mass organization, they are GEMING, and so they use red. The match of red, white and black is one classic collocation. In the crisis of fighting, the member of Akatsuki would not stand on the robe, so the symbolic significance of robe is bigger than the availability.

In conclusion, each costume has its merits among Naruto, it could become the classic consult of the uniform, and it also the fashionable clothing trend. We hope in the future, the anime could create more excellent costumes.
