  • Question
    If Ayano were to meet another Ayano at a cosplay convention, how would she react?
    Community Answer
    She might team up with the other Ayano to get the rivals away from their senpai. But don't get too into character!
  • Question
    Should I get a fake knife or katana?
    Community Answer
    If 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.
  • Question
    Can I add dark makeup to my forehead to look like Yandere-chan when psychotic?
    Community Answer
    Try 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.
  • Question
    Could I put fake blood on the fake weapon?
    Community Answer
    Yes! Be careful if you are going out in public, people might get offended or mistake it for a real emergency and call 911.
  • Question
    What if my skin is too dark?
    Community Answer
    It's okay, just cosplay like her, you do not have to look exactly like her. Remember this is cosplay. Skin color does not matter.
  • Question
    My hair is black (like Ayano's), but it is curly. Should I get a wig?
    Community Answer
    A wig will always help improve the quality of your cosplay because it gives your hair a "cartoony" look. But of course, it's up to you and your preferred style.
  • Question
    Is it okay if I want to cosplay as Ayano Aishi and Yuno Gasai with my friend in an anime event? Would it be weird?
    Community Answer
    I think that would be fine, especially if you have a small rivalry. If you are going more realistic, have a little fight.
  • Question
    How I can find the fake weapon (knife)?
    Community Answer
    A local party shop or Halloween store should have a fake weapon you can use. Or you could always make your own from a stick.
  • Question
    I'm Japanese. Can I use my school uniform? It's a seifuku and it looks like Aishi-san.
    Community Answer
    If the colors work, I don't see why not, though it's best to not use fake blood, because it might not wash off.
  • Question
    Are there other things to include in Yan-Chans cosplay?
    Community Answer
    You can also include a fake knife and fake blood splatters, if those do not bother you.
  • Question
    I can't find any seifuku uniforms in stores, do you think any stores even carry them?
    Community Answer
    You probably won't find a uniform in stores. I suggest looking on Amazon or an online cosplay store.
  • Question
    Is it okay for a 10 year old to cosplay as Ayano?
    Community Answer
    Yes. It's okay to cosplay at any age.
  • Question
    Do I have to have a wig for every cosplay I do because I barely have any wigs?
    Mabel
    Community Answer
    No. You can use your natural hair and dye it, but a wig would be better - you can always buy some online.
  • Question
    What if I don't want to wear contacts, but my eyes aren't the color of Yandere's eyes?
    Community Answer
    Who cares if your eyes aren't the right color? It won't make much of a difference, and you can always use Photoshop to make your eyes appear gray in pictures.
  • Question
    Should I use a wig if my hair is black but short?
    Community Answer
    You can get a clip-in ponytail, or you can use a wig if you prefer it.

  • Question
    What if I don't have black or grey hair, but I can't purchase a wig?
    Community Answer
    You could possibly use a temporary black/grey hair dye. You could find some at Walmart or any party stores around.
  • Question
    Is it OK if I get red contacts even though Anayo's eye color is grey?
    January Miller
    Community Answer
    You can get red ones, but get grey as well for Anayo and anyone else with grey eyes. Use red for the red-eyed characters.
  • Question
    My skin is brown and Yandere-chan's skin is white. How do I change my skin?
    Community Answer
    You don't have to change your skin to match the character, but if you want to, try body paint.
  • Question
    My school doesn't allow fake weapons or blood, so can I do normal Yan-chan before she kills anybody?
    SmolBeanCosplays
    Community Answer
    Yandere-chan is very recognizable with her ponytail and outfit, so I think you will be okay!
  • Question
    Can I pair my fake weapon with a bloody love letter?
    Community Answer
    Yep! Get creative and do what you want for your cosplay. I wouldn't recommend bringing fake weapons or blood to school, though!
  • Question
    My school sometimes has a cosplay event, can I cosplay as Ayano in the event?
    Community Answer
    Yes, probably, but you'll need to tone it down so it's school-appropriate. No fake weapons or fake blood.
  • Question
    What if I am nine and my parents do not know about this?
    Community Answer
    Tell them a little about it. Explain that cosplaying is just a way of playing pretend and having fun. I'm sure they won't mind if you want to do it.
  • Question
    My hair is brown, and hers is black. Do I have to purchase a wig?
    Community Answer
    Not at all; you have dark hair, that's really all that matters. You don't have to look exactly like her.
  • Question
    Can one of my friends dress up like Senpai and I was Ayano, would it be good?
    Jaylee Swygert
    Community Answer
    Yes, that would be perfect! Make sure you're both okay with it though, and if anyone ships you and you don't like it, tell them to stop.
