Although there are other options, the most common cosplay of Sukuna is when he’s trapped inside Yuji, so that’s what we’ll focus on. It’s also the simplest option to cosplay and can be easily cosplayed by any gender.

This guide will take you through everything you need to know to cosplay Sukuna, including providing some inspiration to get you started.

How to Make Your Sukuna Costume

The main part of the Sukuna outfit is the kimono. It’s long, white, and has black trim. It’s quite baggy on Yuji and has long-flowing arms. The kimono is worn tied together across his body with a wide belt. The belt is blue with a large white triangular pattern on it.

It’s easy to buy a ready-made Sukuna costume which will come with the kimono and belt. It’s also a fairly easy costume to make yourself - any white robe or kimono will work. The belt is the only part that may be difficult to mimic if you’re trying to be precise with the pattern. If you are less concerned about accuracy, any blue fabric will work as the belt.

• The primary part of a Sukuna costume is the white kimono with a blue belt.
• Buy a ready-made costume or have a go at putting one together yourself.

Our character wears a black or dark blue silky-looking scarf around his neck. It is quite baggy and loose, in keeping with the style of the kimono. A lot of Sukuna costumes include the scarf, but if not any black scarf or piece of silky fabric will work.

• Sukuna wears a loose black scarf around his neck.
• Source one as part of a ready-to-wear costume or add any black scarf.

Sukuna wears black socks and black sandals. These are the least important parts of the cosplay. As long as the shoes you wear are black, it will work with the costume. You could replace the socks and sandals with black boots - this is a great opportunity to get creative.

• Our sorcerer wears black sandals and socks.
• Any black footwear will work - don’t be afraid to put your own spin on it.

The wig is one of the most prominent features of the costume. Our character has short, pink, spiky hair with a darker underlayer. The easiest way to mimic this is to buy a ready-styled Sukuna wig.

If you fancy getting creative, this is where many cosplayers choose to have some fun with the character. The hair being pink is the most important aspect, but you could choose to wear a longer wig if you want to put a feminine twist on the character. You could even dye your own hair! 

• If you want to stay true to character, you’ll need a spiky pink wig with a dark layer underneath.
• Alternatively, you can get creative with any length and style of pink hair.

When Sukuna was reincarnated into Yuji Itadori, his tattoos showed on Yuji’s skin too. The tattoos are mostly black lines, dots, and patterns. These markings are an iconic part of the character.

The tattoos are on a lot of the character’s body. Thankfully, you only need to worry about the face, wrists, and shoulders, as the rest of your body will be covered by the outfit. Unless you want to reveal more of your skin for poses, of course!

You can mimic the tattoos using body paint or makeup by copying pictures of Sukuna. If you aren’t particularly artistic, you can find temporary tattoos that match Sukuna’s instead. They’re easy to apply with water and a sponge.

• Sukuna has tattoos in many places on his body.
• Replicate the tattoos using body paint, makeup, or temporary tattoos.

Adding little details to your cosplay pulls it together and shows that you are on top of your game. Consider getting creative with makeup to mimic Sukuna’s facial features. You could wear contacts to match his captivating eyes.

In some depictions, Sukuna has dark-colored nails. Think outside the box and add your own details to the character to make yourself stand out.

• Add some smaller details to pull your cosplay together.
• Get creative to make your cosplay stand out in the crowd.
