Ayano Aishi (or, as she's more commonly known, Yandere-chan) is the main character of Yandere Simulator, a game that, while still in sandbox mode, has gained a substantial following. If you'd like to cosplay as Yandere-chan, this article is here to help.
Steps
-
Get the hair. By default, Yandere-chan has medium-length black hair, which she wears tied back in a ponytail. If you have medium or long black hair, you can just put it into a ponytail. Otherwise, you'll have to buy a wig. You can also have right-sided ponytails, left sided ponytails, pigtails, tri-tails, longer pigtails, drill hair, and a bob since these are all possible in the game.
-
Get color contacts. Unless you naturally have grey or black eyes, you'll need color contacts in one of these colors. (If you can't get color contacts, you'll be okay without them. Color contacts are a nice detail, but not vital to cosplay.)Advertisement
-
Get a uniform. Yandere-chan is typically depicted wearing her default school uniform, a white, short-sleeved seifuku outfit, along with black stockings and shoes. She has several other uniform styles available to her in the game, along with her school swimsuit and gym uniform. Thus you have a number of options when it comes to what you'll be wearing.
- Checking Ebay or a cosplay site for a "Japanese school uniform," "seifuku," or "sailor fuku" will likely result in an outfit similar to Yandere-chan's uniform.
- A white t-shirt and blue Japanese gym shorts, along with white socks and sneakers, will get you an outfit just like Yandere-chan's gym uniform.
- You might have to custom-make some of Yandere-chan's other uniforms, which are more detailed and elaborate.
-
Get a false weapon. Yandere-chan just isn't the same without her trademark knife or a katana. Real weapons are not allowed at most conventions, so you'll have to get a replica.
- Other weapons available to Ayano include:
- Scissors
- Circular saw
- Baseball bat
- Shovel
- Axe
- Ritual knife
- Other weapons available to Ayano include:
-
Add some fake blood. To really top off your cosplay, you could splatter some fake blood on your clothes, skin, and/or weapon. Stores often carry fake blood around Halloween, and it can be found year-round online.
-
Get some friends to cosplay with. Your cosplay will be even better if you can have a Senpai and some rivals. (The most notable rivals, as yet, are Osana Najimi, the orange-haired girl, and Kokona Haruka, the purple-haired girl with drill-shaped twin tails, but any character is game.) With the help of your cosplay companions, you could have a lot of fun setting up crime scenes and scenarios for photo shoots.Advertisement

QuestionIf Ayano were to meet another Ayano at a cosplay convention, how would she react?Community AnswerShe might team up with the other Ayano to get the rivals away from their senpai. But don't get too into character!
-
QuestionShould I get a fake knife or katana?Community AnswerIf you want, sure, but I wouldn't recommend carrying it around at school or in public, as people might think that it's real. It's fine if you're going to a cosplay event or just dressing up around the house.

QuestionCan I add dark makeup to my forehead to look like Yandere-chan when psychotic?Community AnswerTry dark shades of eyeshadow, mainly around and under your eyes. If you're doing the default hair, your fringe should create a natural shadow just fine, and the eye shadow would accentuate it nicely. Also, maybe add a little bit of fake blood splattered on your cheek.
