Misa Amane, the spunky tritagonist from the classic anime Death Note has a bold and unique style. As the anime progresses, Misa’s style evolves while still encapsulating her fiery personality. She is the personification of confidence, vigor, and spunk. We put together a Misa cosplay guide.
About Death Note
Death Note follows the story of Light Yagami, a bored high school student that comes across a death note. This note gives him the ability to kill anyone whom he writes in his notebook while picturing their face. Bored from his lackluster routine and harboring a strong sense of justice, Light takes advantage of this notebook with a vengeance for anyone who commits crime.
Misa enters the scene with love in her eyes for Light and a kindred determination to create a new perfect world without crime alongside her precious Light.
Putting Together a Misa Cosplay
Misa is a well-known model and is known by her adoring fans as Misa Misa. Her signature long golden blonde hair tied in two pigtails with bright red bands makes her stand out in a crowd. She is typically adorned in gothic, punk fashion. Cosplaying as Misa requires daring fashion statements, and a hyper demeanor to match!
Below are some ideas of how to create Misa cosplay with her signature outfits.
SIGNATURE OUTFITS
In Misa’s first appearance, she has her blonde hair pulled up in two high pigtails, and her bangs loose in front. She’s wearing black and white striped fingerless arm warmers, a black corset tank top, and a red-plaid skirt. She ties her outfit together with black tights and shoes, a black purse, a red tie, and bold silver jewelry to match.

Misa wears her most iconic outfit to meet her precious Light for the first time. This look is characterized by a mini black dress, full length black tights, and black boots to pull the outfit together. Her accessories include similar black lace arm warmers, a black lace choker, a silver necklace, and something special in her bag (spoiler in the link below!)

In my personal favorite look of Misa’s, she is wearing a navy and white pin striped dress, a long sleeved black top, and fishnets with black socks covering them. She holds a black purse, and wears black boots and her signature silver necklace.
MISA COSPLAY IDEAS:
HAIR
Misa usually keeps her long blonde hair in a half-up half down style, and occasionally wears full pigtails with red ties. Her bangs run across her forehead with two longer pieces that frame her features. To emulate this look for a Misa cosplay, many like to either purchase a wig, or clip in bangs to match.
MAKEUP
There is more freedom when it comes to makeup while putting together a Misa cosplay. She usually wears a bright red lip, and colored contacts by scene making her eyes change between red, blue, green, and light brown.
We hope that this Misa cosplay guide helps all cosplayers find their inner Misa through bold and unique fashion! As with all cosplay, have fun expressing your love for the character.
