Contents
Hey cosplay enthusiasts! Ready to transform into the gravity-defying Port Mafia executive from Bungo Stray Dogs? I’ve got the ultimate breakdown for bringing Chuuya Nakahara to life, and trust me, I’ve learned a few tricks along the way.

The Iconic Port Mafia Look: Your Cosplay Essentials
Base Layer Basics
Let’s start with the foundation of Chuuya’s killer style:
- Black pants (slim-fit jeans or tailored slacks)
- Crisp white button-up shirt
- White button-up shirt that fits snug but not tight

The Signature Layering
Here’s where it gets fun. You’ll need:
- Black harness (create an X across the chest)
- Grey vest for that authentic Port Mafia vibe
- Cropped jacket with brown cuffs (pro tip: thrift stores are your best friend!)
- Long black coat for that dramatic flair
Accessorize Like a Pro
The details make the cosplay:
- Black bowler hat (absolute must-have!)
- Black choker necklace
- Black gloves
- Optional chain hanging from the hat for extra swag

Hair and Makeup Magic
Chuuya’s look is all about that messy, vibrant style:
- Orange-red wig with choppy layers
- Deliberately messy cut (perfection is overrated!)
- Cosplay wig that captures his wild energy

Alternative Chuuya Looks to Mix It Up
Younger Version Vibes
Feeling the teen Chuuya energy?
- Red t-shirt
- Grey hoodie
- Black leather jacket
- Shorter, slightly less messy hair

Vampire Arc Realness
For the darker, more intense version:
- White V-neck t-shirt
- Dark leather jacket
- Optional vampire fangs (for that extra drama)

Pro Cosplay Assembly Tips
Wanna nail the look without breaking the bank? Here’s my insider advice:
- Check thrift stores for jacket base pieces
- Don’t stress about perfect matching—Chuuya’s style is intentionally rough
- Pre-made costumes from UWOWO are solid if you’re short on time
- Customize, customize, customize!

Budget-Friendly Cosplay Hacks
Listen up—cosplay doesn’t have to cost a fortune:
- Modify existing clothing instead of buying new
- Use fabric paint and felt for detailed additions
- YouTube tutorials are your best cosplay companion
- Embrace imperfections—they make the cosplay unique!
