Bodysuit<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The main part of Deku\u2019s outfit is his bodysuit, which is what makes the cosplay so simple to put together. His bodysuit is green with long sleeves and full legs. It has black and white detailing. It isn\u2019t super tight to the skin, although you could choose one that is to show off your sexy side if you prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are plenty of places you can buy a ready-to-wear Deku bodysuit with all the details included, which makes your life easier. But if you prefer to get crafty, you could make your own interpretation. Buy a green bodysuit and add the details by sewing them on or using fabric paint. There are even patterns online to guide you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Wig<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
One of the most iconic parts of the character\u2019s appearance is his green hair. He wears it in a spiky style with a fringe that covers most of his forehead and sometimes falls across his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have short hair you could use temporary dye to color it green and style it to match the character\u2019s hair. However, most people opt to get a wig. There are plenty of Deku wigs that are ready-colored and styled to save you any hassle. Although you could buy a green wig and style it yourself if you\u2019re handy with a pair of scissors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boots<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Deku wears red high-top boots with black detail and laces. They\u2019re very distinctive and an important part of the character, allowing him to be ready for action at any time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some ready-made costumes come with the boots, but you can easily source your own. Many people opt for high-top sneakers for comfort. You could always spray paint old boots or sneakers red and black to save money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knee and Elbow Pads<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Protection is important in battle, so our character wears black knee pads and elbow pads. They\u2019re quite chunky to stand up to impact and also serve to add another layer to his outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most Deku costumes come with the pads included, but you could easily source some cheap black knee and elbow pads if you\u2019re putting together your own costume.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mask<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Deku\u2019s mask is an important part of his story. He has a green mask with \u2018ears\u2019 that goes over his head, along with a respirator section that covers his mouth and the lower part of his face. The mask is a nod to Toshinori Yagi (also known as All Might) who trained him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The character isn\u2019t often actually seen wearing the mask, so a lot of people don\u2019t include it in their cosplay. Others choose to wear it around their neck or carry it with them. If you want to really show your dedication to the character, it\u2019s worth having the mask so you can wear it for photos and specific poses. Your best bet is to buy one ready-made unless you\u2019re very handy with crafts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Deku has a mask in honor of All Might.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Decide whether you want to include the mask and source a ready-made one if so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Fine Details<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
The small details are optional, but always a great idea to include as they pull the cosplay together. They show you have put the effort in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deku is typically seen with a red belt around his waist with two compartments. The belt often comes with Deku costumes, but it\u2019s also fairly easy to make by painting a belt red if needed. If the character\u2019s white gloves don\u2019t come with the bodysuit, these are an easy addition to your cosplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our hero is also known for his symmetrical freckles, which can easily be mimicked with makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Add the red belt and white gloves if they don\u2019t come with your costume.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Consider adding makeup to match Deku\u2019s appearance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Our number one had to be Sammy of sammyscosplay<\/a>. A woman of many talents, she\u2019s a seamstress, cosplayer, crafter, makeup artist, and skilled editor. We\u2019re impressed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She made her Deku costume<\/a> and it\u2019s absolutely stunning! Every single detail is well thought out and the whole look is posed beautifully. We particularly love the hood and long ears as the mask. The background is perfectly chosen for the character and fits in well with the theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

summerdru<\/a> is a beautiful and talented woman. She stands out in the cosplay world for her attention to detail and passion for her craft. She\u2019s built an impressive following on social media, and we\u2019re not surprised!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She\u2019s chosen a tight-fitting bodysuit for her Deku cosplay<\/a>. The details like the red belt and pads are printed onto the suit. It gives her cosplay a unique look while still staying true to the character. She\u2019s colored her own hair to match the character\u2019s and even added some well-thought-out makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re active in the cosplay world, you must have heard of Rolyat<\/a>! Both a streamer and a cosplayer, at 28 years old she\u2019s built a large and very loyal following across social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She made her Izuku Midoriya bodysuit<\/a> herself and it looks fantastic! We particularly love that she\u2019s taken a unique approach to the hair – she\u2019s stuck with the color but chosen a longer wig to make the character more feminine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only is Iwood Cosplay<\/a> skilled at producing their own cosplays – they also help others to learn how to make costumes and props. They even have a shop where they sell cosplay kits and props.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although they focus more on teaching now, their Deku cosplay<\/a> is not to be missed! They\u2019ve put an interesting spin on the white gloves and elbow protection, combining them into one to make a more \u2018battle-ready\u2019 look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a true talent for portraying characters of all genders, we had to include KendelB<\/a> in our top 10! She isn\u2019t afraid to interpret the characters she plays to suit her style, but yet she still manages to stay accurate to the original series\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her Deku cosplay<\/a> is no different – she\u2019s chosen to make the character feminine. And what\u2019s more, she\u2019s done it outstandingly well. Right down to the long green wig, colored contacts, and makeup, this cosplay is magnificent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also known as Kai or Kairon, kainosaurus_<\/a> is a non-binary cosplayer with a gift for depicting characters of all genders. Without fail, they produce phenomenal cosplays with great attention to detail in both their costumes and backgrounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re obsessed with their cosplay of Deku<\/a>. It\u2019s entirely accurate to the original character, including the looser-fitting bodysuit, the hair, and all the accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On his Instagram page rebel__galaxy<\/a>, Vince produces cosplays that show off the darker side of the characters he chooses. Each picture is staged beautifully to capture the strong, powerful essence of his chosen personas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deku<\/a> is one of Vince\u2019s favorite characters – he has many photos of this cosplay on his social media. He\u2019s gone for the full mask which is rarely seen, so it makes his outfit stand out from the crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another male cosplayer who isn\u2019t afraid to explore the darker, more serious side of his characters is Andee Lim<\/a>. Every one of his cosplays is breathtaking to look at, with incredible detail and formidable poses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check out his version of Izuku Midoriya<\/a> to see what we mean. Like Vince, he\u2019s included Deku\u2019s mask and gone for a more rustic appearance as though he\u2019s been in many battles. It\u2019s awe-inspiring to look at!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She\u2019s gone for the looser, true-to-character body suit for her Deku cosplay<\/a> and it works perfectly. We love that she\u2019s included the iconic freckles in her look. She explains that she found some rubble near her home and it was the perfect background for this photo – genius!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It includes the jumpsuit, belt, gloves, knee pads, and respirator face mask. You\u2019ll just need to add the boots and wig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to try something a little bit more revealing and put a more lighthearted spin on the character, try this option<\/a>! It comes with a sleeveless crop top and shorts in the style of the original bodysuit. It includes a cute bunny hood instead of Deku\u2019s mask, which is a playful addition.

If you need a wider range of sizes, this one<\/a> has three size options. It comes with the jumpsuit, gloves, and \u2018boot covers\u2019. But you\u2019ll need to source the red belt, wig, and protective pads yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
