Anju Inami as Yamanaka Ino

 

I personally thought she looked a little too old to be 13 years old but then again, I guess everyone is ahhaa. I like how pretty she looked and how the crew gave her a lace front wig!  Super loving the hair flip and the dirty grungy look!

 

 

 

Tsubasa Hattori as Nara Shikamaru

 

I kinda wished they’d have done some artsy photos with his shadow instead of him doing a Kungfu/Taijutsu pose or maybe him playing chess but I think I’m asking a bit much.

 

 

 

Ryo Kato as Akamichi Chouji

 

I absolutely love this cosplay photo of Ryo Kato ad Akamichi Chouji! I didn’t expect them to pull off such a cool photo of him. He does look a little too skinny for Chouji though ahha

 

 

 

Saki Takahashi as Hyuuga Hinata

 

HINATAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA <3 <3!!! She looks so cuteeeee <3 A lot of people are bashing her for the lack of Byakugan (White eye) here and I understand where they are coming from. To be fair, if you look close enough, her eye is not entirely black. So I guess there was still some reference to the Byakugan put in place. I personally thought there is probably 2 reason why the crew  didn’t give her  white contacts ; because it would inhibit her vision too much and because it would make her a little scary.

 

It’s very hard to pull off Hinata’s innocent and sweet character if you have white contacts; it blanks a lot of emotions and character out. On a totally different note, love her jacket!

 

 

 

 

Yuta Iiyama as Inuzuka Kiba

 

I haven’t seen  a lot of Kiba cosplayers around and Yuta Iiyama deserves a big pat on the shoulder for getting all that canine movements into his at (or at least this picture). I always thought Kiba was a bishie looking boy and I’m glad Iiyama Yuta fits the bill too haha!

 

 

 

Shinichirou Ueda as Aburame Shino

 

Again loving the wardrobe team for making every costume look so texture rich and impression-ately accurate. I’ve always imagined Shino’s coat to be thick and bulky but the cosplay costumes I see are usually thin. So it’s nice to see how the professional costume designers did the costumes for them here.
