Rurouni Kenshin – Movie and Anime Version
Dress up as Aoshi Shinomori
The brooding ninja has some pretty awesome sword skills that can rival the Battousai’s. Plus, he has a cool trench coat to boot! Bonus anime detail: wear ice blue contact lenses
Black Sleeveless Zip Top
A ninja is supposed to be as inconspicuous as possible which is why the ninja uniform is dark. This black sleeveless zip top is a good fit for that and as a bonus, you can use it when you go jogging. |

Black Kung Fu Shoes
It looks like Aoshi’s shoes are lightweight – a perfect fit for a stealthy ninja. These shoes are a good match |
|
2 sword in one saya set
Aoshi’s sword stands out from the others because in one saya (scabbard), he has two swords! This set is also built like that – 2 swords in one sheath. The blade is made from steel so be careful! |

Ninja Gauntlet / Cuff
If you plan on ditching your coat during the costume event, you may want to purchase these ninja cuffs for that added detail |

Trench Coat
I was a tad disappointed with the coat Aoshi was wearing during the movie. I expected it to look way cooler and for the collar area to be more structured – the same way it looked in the anime. Of course for a costume event, splurging on a kick-ass trench coat is a bit impractical, so you might want to consider this piece. The photo shows it has a nice structured look. It’s long. And the color is pretty close. The only problem is the reviews have been mixed. |

More Conventional Trench Coat
This is another alternative which has gotten all positive reviews. But compared to the one on top, this looks a lot more conservative or formal. Based on the positive reviews, this seems to be a good buy |
