How to Cosplay As Light From Death Note


As the main protagonist in Death Note, Light is well-known as he firstly discovers the Death Note which can be used to kill criminals. He is extremely intelligent, confident yet bored young man. Frequently, light cosplay has been seen in many cosplay activities. However, when starting Death Note Light Cosplay, some tips should be kept in mind.

Light doesn’t dress as casually as most guys his age, so you would go with a shirt and tie and dress slacks, and maybe a suit jacket slung over your shoulder. Comb your hair like his, or get a light brown wig you can style if your hair is dark, because he doesn't really have a distinctive look. Your prop will be the most important thing. You should certainly carry a Death Note, or you can get notebooks made to look like Death Notes from a lot of anime dealers.

Actually, Light has normal "white guy hair" so I think you don't need a wig, unless your hair is really curly.
